Do you feel tingling in the teeth<\/strong>, brief zings, or \u201celectric\u201d sensations? This usually means the tooth nerve is irritated. The cause can be temporary sensitivity or a sign that something needs care (a small cavity, a crack, gum recession, or clenching). At Gloss & Floss in Stockholm, we identify the reason and recommend gentle, evidence-based care for lasting relief.<\/p> Tingling\u2014sometimes described as \u201cpins and needles,\u201d zapping, or quick shocks\u2014often happens when the tooth\u2019s nerve reacts to cold, heat, sweets, acids, or pressure. Occasional tingling can be temporary.
