if you stop grinding your teeth will sensitivity to cold stop on its own or do i need to seek treatment?
Question:
Answers:
I'm assuming you're relatively young. So grinding of teeth would not usually occur without a reason, and a nightguard may not be useful.
Has your dentist confirmed that your grinding habit is significantly wearing away your teeth? The enamel on teeth is extremely strong.
If your teeth are wearing down, then how much plain water do you drink? Or do you mostly have acidic drinks like sodas, juices, sports drinks,... These are the most common cause of sensitivity in young people, and a major factor in grinding.
If so, then cut out acidic drinks for 2 WEEKS, and try the GC Mousse above as suggested. You may also try Sensodyne toothpaste. If this works, then you know where your problem arises.
If the sensitivity continues, then as a last resort a Root Canal Therapy of hypersensitive teeth is required. But your dentist needs to examine all other possibilities first.
