Is cider making my teeth sore?

I recently switched to drinking cider form beer and other things, maybe 4 weeks ago. Now since or 3 days Ive got strangely sore teeth. Could it be the cider? Anyone else had the same?

Do you brush your teeth regularly? It could be other foods in your diet.

its probably the cider, especially if you didnt brush your teeth after the night out

i wouldn't have thought that it would be the cider, teeth can become senstive when teh enamel thins, this could be caused by the cider because its a carbonated drink and is acidic which can cause the enamel to dissolve a bit, you could havea buid up of plaque which is causing tot o hurt, or something else, if you do have worries about your teeth then its best to consult a dentist as they'll be able to look at them and advise the ebst things to do,

you might want to think about switching toothpaste to that sensodyne stuff as it might make your teeth hurt less.

Im brushing my teeth! Wouldnt dream of not brusing my teeth before bed - even after a big night :smile:

Not changed anything esle in the diet and never had teeth problems. If it is the cider, what is it exactly that does it?

Cider is probably more acidic than beer (much less than cola though). If it's happening every time you go out and drink cider, why not try drinking beer one night and seeing if it still happens?

My teeth were always OK, if a bit sensitive, then one day I had a large bottle of strongbow to myself and after that they were suddenly a lot more sensitive for a few months, so maybe it is that. I've always thought it was that for me anyway.

definitely its the cider, but i think its only strongbow. Both me and my flatmate had the same experience- teeth feeling sensitive the day after drinking 4 or 5 cans of strongbow.

It would be interesting to see if magners has the same effect, but what kind of student is going to drink 4 magners when you can get 8 strongbow black for the same price (not that i can drink 8 strongbow black, its just an example).
