Is it normal for 1 tooth to be sensitive to cold and sweet foods after you get your braces takes off?

It is possible that a bit of the enamel was removed when the the brackets were snapped off. This happened to my husband and the orthodontist put some bonding material (white filling) over it. Since they are now off you should have a full cleaning, exam and xrays to make sure that there is no decay (cavitites), no left over cement, build up (tartar, stain, plaque) that is preventing your gums from being their best. Usually the gums will be swollen while the braces are on and shrink back to a normal healthy size once they are off and the teeth are clean. Let your dentist / hygienist check everything out.





Hope that helps and wear your retainer

You might have a cavity within that tooth somewhere.
Reply:Sounds like decay. It is easier to get decay when you have braces, because the braces make brushing more difficult.





Schedule an appointment to see your dentist.

Sweet-Toothed, Diabetic Father-in-law coming for Christmas. Need recipes.?

My diabetic Father-in-law will be coming for Christmas + two weeks.





He has an awful sweet-tooth, and with all of the Christmas baking I do for my own family of 5, I need some ideas of desserts and other tempting appetizers that will help me keep him out of harm's way.





He has a habit of sneaking into the sweets when he thinks he isn't being watched. So I need some really deceptive dishes - dishes he thinks he shouldn't be eating.





That way I can have a secret stash of the "good stuff" for the rest of us.





Anyone have any wonderful, sugar-free recipes?





Thanks in advance!

I think what you're looking for is in this free ebook. It's a compilation of 490 award winning recipes and a free easy download.
Reply:Not exactly recipes but I have used a couple of tricks with diabetics!





Baked bananas are DELICIOUS! It sounds like a bore but it's so easy. After you have baked or roasted something in the oven, just put a few bananas in there and turn it off. Leve the bananas for about 30 minutes until they are completely black. When you open them up, split them open and add some "cream" (natural yoghurt with equal or some other sugar substitute added).





It tastes as if there is alcohol in the bananas and that yoghurt tastes very much like cream. I fed it to my grandmother who loves to drink, hates yoghurt and is diabetic! She loved it.





Good luck with hiding the good stuff!

Why is my tooth giving off a sweet metal taste?

I have been getting this metaly plastic taste in my mouth and when i runb my tongue over a certain tooth i can taste it stronger what is it?

Why is my tooth giving off a sweet metal taste?
A metallic taste in the mouth is a common complaint and it's not life threatening.


The most common cause for this is medications, if your taking medication such as -Antibiotics, Anti Depressants, High Blood Pressure Tablets, or meds for Kidney stones.


Oral hygiene also plays a part, if the teeth/gums are not kept clean infections such as gingivitis/.periodontists can leave the mouth with this tatse.


Make an appointment to see your dentist and make sure everything is ok and have him/her put your mnd at rest!
Reply:i heard of this before, its a bacterial infestion i beleive.
Reply:I think it's time to visit the dentist
Reply:I dunno go see a dentist!
Reply:Could be bleeding.





Blood tastes metallic 'cause of the iron, and sweet 'cause of the sugar.
Reply:I went to college with a girl who had this and you could smell it quite strong on her breath, really metally. She ended up just needing a filling on that tooth.
Reply:Its an infection, this can be cured by a trip to the dentist, you may just need a filling thats all.

Why does something sweet make a tooth hurt?

Or mildly cold for that matter...is it the nerve amplifying the pain? Why sweet and not any other flavour??

Why does something sweet make a tooth hurt?
do you have a receding gum line? if so, your nerve may be exposed.
Reply:Your teeth are just sensitive to sweet stuff. Try brushing more and make sure you rinse with mouth wash that prevents sensitivity.


Holidays are near - What's your favorite family dessert that satisfies your sweet t tooth?

I love those Peanut Butter cookies that you press a Hershey kiss into and eat warm. We also do one where you take a graham cracker crust ( pie or baking dish ) and put in a inch or two layer of choc. morsels, another layer of butterscotch morsels and then top with coconut flakes, pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over the whole thing ( to bind ) and bake maybe 30 min's. @ 350 til the coconut starts to brown. My Grandma called them wall to wall calories. Man was she ever smart. If you make them , they harden a little too much for me the next day, so microwave them just a tad and ,OH MAN !!!!

Holidays are near - What's your favorite family dessert that satisfies your sweet t tooth?
Those sound delicious ... Pumpkin Pie ,Pecan Pie and Apple Pie with lots of whip cream.
Reply:Ya... that sounds yummy! I'll add that little recipe to my collection. I have a huge collection of holiday recipes and have begun my holiday baking already. Today was cookie day with 8 dozen sugar cookies cut out and baked and frozen. Plus I am currently working on a cheesecake. I love to bake and the holidays make it wonderful.

Reply:My family do a traditional "log" cake but instead of choc they use home made pranile butter cream and a hazelnut sponge. Also other traditional hungarian sweets like beigli, and kipfli are absolutely necessary!
Reply:Well. Hmmmm....... my absolute favourite dessert would have to be pavlova, it is so delicious, but i love anything sweet :)
Reply:Pumpkin pie with lots of whipped cream!!!!!
Reply:My grandma make this killer chocolate pie every Thanksgiving. My other grandma always makes taffy tarts and butterscotch pie. Oh man am I hungry now. Just by thinking about them I gain 5 pounds!
Reply:My now deceased great-aunt's recipe for devil dogs. She only shared it with one person as far as I'm aware and that was my mom.

Reply:Baked Alaska, slice Swiss roll with the jam in it and layer using ice cream, after a couple of layers you top with the whipped egg white n sugar mix (to make meringue) and put in a hot oven until the meringue is done to your liking (best when the tips are just going caramel coloured - I think)





Very tasty and very sweet!


How come sweet things give you tooth ache?

My teeth dont hurt until i eat a Polo or a chocolate, i do need a filling, but why does the sugar or sweet stuff make it hurt??

How come sweet things give you tooth ache?
Sweetness activates the nerves going to your tooth and that's why eating chocolate can make your teeth hurt. Hot and cold things also can make your teeth hurt. I would recommend going to see a good dentist before your tooth gets worse and you need root canal-those really suck.





The other tooth may hurt because of referred pain. When one part of your body gets sensitized, it can make some other place in your body hurt. This often happens with teeth.





P.S. I love chocolate too!
Reply:Sugar feeds bacteria. Bacteria produce an acid which eats into your teeth. More sugar - more bacteria - more tooth eating acids - more tooth ache.
Reply:its the glucose/sucrose (sugar) eating away at the infected tooth - a complex reaction with bacteria at the tooth surface, its a fast reaction isnt it !!





I hope that you dont suffer too long and get to a dentist soon :-)





little tip? A product called "Rennie's" in the UK, not sure about the US, its a small tablet to fight acid indigestion.. chew on a small Rennie tablet if it becomes really intense, it will also become a barrier to other sugars, etc coming into contact with the affected part of the tooth... I hope that the toothache does not spoil your hoilday
Reply:You most likely have a cavity. Sweets do not normally cause pain unless there is an exposed nerve. Go see your dentist, and good luck.
Reply:The sugar turns to acid and attacks and erodes the tooth enamel. When you need a filling it hurts as it can then get to the softer stuff under the enamel
Reply:spot on above.


The sugar attacks the enamel on your teeth leading to cavities which then expose the inside of the tooth and nerve endings. Some poeples teeth are more enamel than others giving them more sensitive teeth.
Reply:don't eat sweet things then: ask ur dentist if you have one
Reply:It's all of that darn sugar! That stuff is bad in all forms! sucrose, glucose,etc..
Reply:I've recently started feeling that too. Have you noticed your gums receding a little? That may expose nerves which may make your teeth a little more sensitive to sweet.





Bam... early thirties? Or is it happening too soon for me?
Reply:Well,as your gums receed(for whatever reason),they then become more exposed to nerves..you may need to have your teeth and gums checked out.





OK ,Menina,you must be having my troubles and we must be a little bit into that good old age bracket..:)
Reply:because you have a cavity
Reply:Because your teeth are rotting. Better stop eating those sweets.
Reply:maybe ur teeth are sensitive
Reply:do you have any fillings already, what type of material are they, is the tooth that is hurting near a filling
