Vodka and your teeth

David Wulff

Does vodka sensitise your teeth? Without fail every time I have some to drink, even if it is only a little (say any more than a double), my teeth will be super-sensitive for hours afterwards. And I do mean super-sensitive: I can’t even eat bread without it feeling like I’m chewing aluminium foil. Whilst I normally do stick to vodka – it being the only thing I can actually enjoy the taste of – it never seems to affect my teeth like this when I do drink something else. So is it the vodka? I would have thought if anything it would have a desensitising affect? Any known solution other than the obvious?

It might not stop the teeth from being sensitized, but it will rot your liver so fast you won't care about how your teeth feel. ;P Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!

Normally, decent quality vodka doesn't affect my teeth but sometimes we get plastic bottle vodka (the cheapest available) and my teeth start to feel really weird. Vodka is some good stuff, straight vodka was one of my first legal drinks. Brad Jennings "if the golden arches shut shop, where else are the VB people going to get work." - Colin Davies

She says her bottle of drain cleaner keeps disapearing. Being a thrifty type she re-uses that old Russian Bear Vodka bottle. Just thought you should know... ;) And no, Vodka never makes my teeth sensitive. Very dry red wine does though.

Didn't you swear off alcohol just a little while ago because of bad hangovers? Back on it already? :| Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 WHats brown and sticky? A stick or some smelly stuff!

David Wulff

That may be it then. I'll stick to the expensive stuff from now on - it's a good trade-off between the cash in my wallet and the ability to consume food afterwards. I hope that will resolve it because sensitive teeth *really* hurt. X|

And it wasn't because of a hangover (I have never had one in my life, thankfully) it was because I was very violenmtly ill for about 36 hours. :(( Since Boxing Day I haven't gotten myself totally drunk, and I don't plan to till my next birthday.
