Teeth can be sensitive to warmth, cold, liquids, air, and even sour or sweet foods. Symptoms include different levels of pain with or without movement. Causes can be toothaches or facial neuralgia. Medical treatment usually includes pain killers (possible side effects).

From the natural perspective, the goal is to help the nerves reestablish themselves. Also look at emotional causes. Using Calcium magnesium citrate liquid at one tablespoon twice a day may assist.
