Hello Doctor,
I’ve been experiencing pain along my jawline whenever I drink cold water. This problem seems to get worse during the winter months, especially when I start to shiver. What could be causing this, and how can I find a solution to ease the discomfort?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. It sounds like you may be experiencing tooth sensitivity, which can occur when exposed to cold water, especially during colder weather. I recommend trying desensitizing toothpaste, such as Colgate Pro Relief, along with a mild mouthwash to help soothe the area.
2. If this issue persists, it would be advisable to get an OPG (Orthopantomogram) x-ray to check for any proximal cavities or other underlying dental issues. This will help determine the exact cause of the discomfort and guide us toward the most effective treatment.
Thanks
