Sweaty Hands, Painful Teeth, Feels Strange Like Chewing On Aluminium Paper. Why?
Since I was young like k-grade, it hurts my TEETH to touch certain things, usually only if my hands are wet or sweaty.
Here's a list of things that hurt my teeth to touch with my hands (these things never even touched my teeth and it hurt them) ::::
Paper Towels
Toilet Paper
Wood
Pencils
Chalk
Dirt
Walls
Crayons
Washing Dishes bothers me too.
Paper/Book Pages
I can touch magazines, but not book paper/pages, I don't understand it.
When I eat hot/cold or sour/sweet things, I breath in cold air, my teeth feel like I'm chewing on a aluminum wrapper.
When I was in band my teeth felt like they were burning in acid when my teeth touched the clarinet reed.... same for me recorder instrument. The same things happen if a straw from a drink touches my teeth.
For a while when i put lotion on it helped kind of numb that feeling.... touching things still bothered me but it felt more irritating then acid for my teeth, like the lotion brought on a layer, like gloves.
Also hearing certain things hurts my teeth to, especially grating sounds like someone scratching or writing on a chalk board, I can't stand it. It feels like my teeth are going to pop out of my mouth.
And lately in the last two weeks lotion isn't helping me anymore. same lotion, same brand, it worked last month.... but it's not helping anymore, in fact it makes my hands feel sticky which hurt my teeth more.
Can someone please help me figure this out?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The sweaty hands are usually associated with people suffering from hyperthyroidism.
Regarding your dental health is concerned,the sensitivity of teeth may be due to-Dental caries,gingival recession,regressive changes like abrasion,erosion,.
I would suggest you to get a direct clinical examination by a dentist to rule out the cause of this.
Get your teeth cleaned.
Decayed teeth has to be restored.
Exposed dentin or root portions of teeth has to be restored using tooth-coloured filling materials.
Use desensitizing toothpaste and soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth.
Brush your teeth in back-forth and up-down motion.
Avoid vigorous brushing methods.
Take care.
