ELI5: Why is our teeth so sensitive to cold, but not as sensitive to heat?
gpt
When you take your temperature below you tongue is should be around 98F, so the rest of your mouth we can say is around 90F. If you drink something hot it’s not going to be much more than 120F before it actually burns your tongue, where as ice cream can be as low as 10F. The difference between the normal temperature of your mouth and the extremes is greater for cold stuff.
