Why Does The Teeth Cause Problems While Eating?

If your teeth are creating problems and becoming sensitive while eating or drinking, then it is an indication that it is time to visit a dental clinic. Healthy teeth should not create hindrances to any sort of food or drink. However, if you feel a tingling sensation while drinking a hot beverage or while chewing a hard piece of meat, then there must be some underlying problem with the gums and the teeth. 

Ignoring these problems can worsen the situation. Book your appointment with the nearest dental clinic in Borehamwood and let the dentist help you treat the problem. 

What are the problems that cause teeth irritation while eating?

Sensitive teeth

If teeth have cracks and chips due to enamel erosion, you might experience problems when they come in contact with high-sugar or highly acidic drinks. Teeth can also be sensitive when misaligned or you have brushed them very hard. To avoid this, you need to make sure you undergo regular dental checkups. 

Gum problems

Sometimes, sore gums can cause discomfort when you start eating food. Especially if you consume spicy food or acidic drinks, gum problems might get triggered. If it is detected early, it can be cured with a noninvasive procedure. If you keep on neglecting the pain, it can turn worse and may lead to surgical procedures. 

Cracked teeth

If there are sharp edges around broken or cracked teeth, there is a real risk that the tooth's structure might be compromised. Under such circumstances, eating soft food might help. However, in the long run, you need to remove the tooth and get it replaced by implants. 

Untreated cavities

The most common reason for irritation while eating is untreated cavities, which you might not be aware of. This is especially likely to happen when the food you are eating is sticky or chewing and gets stuck inside the tooth that has a cavity. Cavities, once triggered, cannot be subsided until they are treated by the dentist. 

Loose teeth

Loose teeth can also be caused by diseases or accidents. Whatever the reason, if the tooth becomes loose, you will face problems while eating and chewing food. Your digestive system will also be compromised during this process. This can lead to stomach problems as well.  It is advisable to eat soft food until and unless you get the loose tooth treated by the dentist.
