Healthy Teeth?
Lately I've been having a problem with my teeth (my back ones). It seems whenever something cool or cold comes into contact with it, it aches. Such as when I smile and cool air touches it, use mouthwash, or even brush my teeth it hurts.
I was wondering what could probably cause that to happen. Could it be from me using the whitestrips and teeth whitening products, excessive and hard brushing, or could a cavity have formed?

Sounds like a cavity, or root exposure. Have it checked out by a Dentist. In the mean time try a sensitivity toothpaste, stop the mouthwash and whitening products. Avoid cold things, use warm water. Are you grinding at night or clenching during the day this can also cause sensitivity to cold.

Using some of the teeth-whitening products can make your teeth sensitive. You might lay off of them for a while and use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and see if that helps.

Ive had a similar problem and it turned out it was a cavity, you should go see a dentist as soon as you can before it gets any worst

it might be a cavity, or even sinuses can make teeth hurt, as strange as it might seem. If the problem keeps up though, see your dentist. They can always help you!! :-)

It could be any of the three or all three. There is only one way to determine this and that is to go to the dentist.
Good luck
