If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Why do my teeth hurt when I drink cold water?

Apparently, I may have receding gums. The tooth roots are exposed which causes the sensitivity to hot and cold foods.

The causes include:
- overaggressive brushing (guilty)
- inadequate brushing or flossing (I'm good with that)
- gingivitis (hmmm...maybe)
- dipping snuff (NOOO)
- inadequate placing of lip or tongue piercings (don't have any)
- bruxism, which is the grinding of teeth (no)

Of course, regular dental checkups help. So my problem is exacerbated even further given that I haven't been to the dentist in (I'll never tell you the number) years.
