Extreme Tooth pain After drinking Wine

Guest over a year ago

Try giving up ALL sugar and eating a lot of raw veg and drinking lots of water. Also have a cup of sage tea regularly as this is very good for the teeth.

The same thing happens to me, but I've never talked to anyone else who has experienced this. I tried asking my dentist what could have caused this pain, after my teeth hurt for at least a week, but he was at a loss. I finally too made the connection that drinking wine must be causing the pain. The pain is lesser when drinking red wine but quite intense when I drink white wine. I still haven't found a good solution to ease this, nor have I deduced what in the wine could cause this. Any contributions would be great.

I have the same thing, but for me it is Vodka. My dentist said it was due to acid reflex, but it only hurts when I drink vodka. I also have really poor enamel on my front teeth, though I take care of them very well. Also im only 18 and never had problem before.

Even if I don't eat an hour after I drink any vodka product, it hurts. I cant brush my teeth the next day cuz it hurts so much, it literally brings me to tears. It usually lasts a week but the pain is at its worse the day after drinking and the next after that.

I stoped drinking for a while because I couldn't eat after drinking, but I finally found a solution. Although it sucks, I had to give up vodka and found Rum works.

Just adding myself to the statistics here. This seems a very select club to be in.

My teeth hurt up to 4 days after drinking champagne or white wine. All other spirits are totally harmless in this respect.

For educational purposes and all in the name of science I have been drinking away all sorts of spirits in all sorts of quantities.

My findings are:

White wine and white champagne seem to be the only culprit. Normal red wine, or sparkling red wine or even rosé and rosé champagne seem fine.

The more you drink, the more the teeth hurt. But even one glass has it's effect.

It's probably a chemical compound inside the wine/champagne/cava/... - that gets in your blood and cause the pain. Because I also tried drinking by taking care not to have the booze touch my teeth/gums. And even then it hurts the days after.

I am also experiencing tooth ache after alcohol consumption. It affects a back tooth that had a root canal treatment, which I had done a second time after getting the pain. Still no better. I also had the tooth Xrayed and there is no infection or any problem. Everything is perfectly fine until I drink moderate amounts, beer or wine. Is there any doctor or dentist out there to help?

I have the exact same problem. The pain is so great that I can't even eat soft foods. It takes several days to get back to normal.

I think that it may have to do with the exTream cold temperature we enjoy the white wine to be. This sensitivity to long exposure to freezing temperature may be reacting with our nerves and gums and causing our teeth to be sensitive.

I have had this problem for many years. I think it is mainly due to the fact that as a teenager I used to drink a lot of coke (several cans a day) and as a result the majority of the enamel was eroded from my teeth. For the last ten years or so every time I drank white wine or champagne my teeth would be extremely painful for days, sometime more than a week. Brushing and eating were particularly painful. So I switched to red wine, but now that too hurts my teeth. I think my teeth are now in such bad condition that I may have to give up wine altogether, not that I drink it often, mainly just on special occasions such as Christmas etc. My advice to anyone who is getting this problem in the early stages is to try and avoid wine completely if at all possible, as otherwise over a period of time the acid in the wine will slowly remove the enamel on the surface of your tooth and will lead to serious dental problems in later life. I am now resigned to drinking beer ~(not too bad of course :).

I think tooth pain days after alcohol is caused by clenching/grinding at night. Thoughts?

Because some but not all people are mentioning white wine causes them problems but not red wine, then perhaps it is the sulfur dioxide which is added in higher amount to white wine? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_wine#Use_of_SO2

I'm cooking with white wine. I was fine when I used the cheap stuff from the supermarket. Recently I switched to Kedem and my face swelled up like a monkey around the mouth because could not stop itching. Next I noticed my face felt a little puffy. To a stranger I looked fine. Then that pain came in the middle of the night. Well at 10pm and I had to take a Tylenol 3 (which didn't help.) I used zocdoc to get an ER appt with a dentist. I couldn't open my mouth much and no it was not my TMJ. No infection, no sinus problems nothing. I left there in complete pain. Goldenseal rinses made it a little better and a week later I was fine. Guess what? I'm writing this the following week. I slept with a heating pad on my face again because the pain is too much. I developed the same pain after cooking with white wine 2 days ago. Immediately I used the process of elimination. Peanuts oil, ginger, soy sauce (gluten free), and white wine. I knew it was the white wine. This bottle is 12% alcohol vs the 10% I'm used to. It has 3x more sulfurites than the cheaper one. It's much saltier. So guess what people? I always new that sodium benonate causes my tummy to hurt do I started spending more on sodas. I buy GUS. Hate to break the news put we all may be allergic to sulfurites. I'm staying away from that Kedem white wine. I'll have to hold off on my Chinese food until I can get the cheaper stuff :) Hope this helps. Please forgive me if some things are unclear or grammatically incorrect. I wrote this at 4am while in pain.

Pardon me. The correct term and spelling is sulfites.

i have had severe pain as described by many posts here..my teeth were fine and after a scan i was told i had thickening of tissue around salivary glands.....no treatment. after exhaustive search on the internet i am pretty much convinced the cause is sulphites....compounded by dehydration caused by alcohol (in my case i never drank water..yuk!). after suffering severe pain, earache, swollen face (one side) for over a year i have, for the last 2 weeks, cut out all alcohol, drink water and don't eat processed food. 90% improvement so far!
