I have an electric shock like sensation that started today a few hours after I ate lunch in an upper tooth right in front of the upper molar. There is no filling in the tooth. I had my teeth cleaned and checked earlier this week before this started and had no problems. I had this happen one other time but it was after a very deep cavity was filled and my dentist said the filling was conducting with the filling next to it. I just don t understand this one because there is no filling there. What can I do for this?
Hello and welcome, since you got your teeth cleaned recently, there is usually changes on your gums .gums will return to original position as the pus/calculus deposits moves or Chat Doctor. This results in shock like sensation. There may be chances of erosion /attrition/cervical abrasion of teeth which causes sensitivity. Visit your dentist and get the diagnosis. Use soft-bristled tooth brush and always brush your teeth from top to bottom, avoid horizontal brushing habits. Use desensitizing paste like resident. Avoid excessive hot or cold foods. Get toothcoloured restorations if there is abrasion on teeth causing wearing of teeth. Regards
