Why does my face ache after drinking hot drinks?
Q.
Why does my face ache after a hot drink but does not react to an ice cold drink? It appears that drinking ice cold water does relieve problem. My problem only started to happen after a recent visit abroad.I do brush,my teeth regularly,using an electric tooth brush. I also floss my teeth on a daily basis. I visit the dentist on six monthly basis and i am due to visit in the next month. I am asking this question so that i am fully prepared with any questions that imay need to ask my dentist.

Hello and thanks for your question
Hello and thanks for your question
it’s impossible to accurately diagnose your condition like this and you should consider seeing a dentist as soon as possible to correctly assess what’s going on, but reactions to hot things can often indicate a problem in the nerve of a tooth. This can be cased by many things but usually needs urgent attention to avoid greater pain, infection and possible tooth loss.
Best you see a dentist near you as quickly as possible
hope that helps
