The immediate smell upon entering the CCB is of cedar wax and bleach. The two warring smells sat within the nose like a nest of brambles, prickling mercilessly. He knuckled one and sniffed, a deafeningly loud sound in an otherwise silent building. Someone shuffled in response, a paper rustled, and a secretary coughed politely behind the front desk. Above, the dinted metal fans whirred and clunked, a repetitive drone that rattled the nerves like a fly in the ear. The walls, a mossy shade of brown-green with all the appeal of congealing vomit pressed in with their over-cluttering of leaflets and notes.  Paintings hung up at random between heavily worded flyers advertising insurance, CCB-approved minicabs and restaurants, and self-help lines. The whole environment was stagnant.
 Rocking in his chair, Quillan checked his watch for the third time that minute and sank a little more inwards. He was filthy, his stolen clothes grimy and ripped in places from his flight, his shoes ill-fitting and worn to non-existence in the heels. He was desperately aware of how badly he probably smelt, given the dearth of empty seats around himself and the full rows to the back. He checked his watch again; the hour had rolled over.
When he’d arrived, and that had been at around half past eleven in the morning, there’d already been a small collection of people already waiting to be seen, and since then (it was now quarter to one), only four people had had the pleasure of wandering through the oak door at the front of the room and into the caseworker offices. He’d only seen two of those people leave.
Above the door, a flickering rotary sign scrolled past for the hundredth time, its bright red lettering calling out for number 24. Quill licked his lips. His own ticket had read out #36 when he’d arrived, but since then the sweat from his fingertips and his constant handling of it had smudged it beyond legibility. He hoped to God they would still see him.
 Across the room, an electronic bell chimed, and the rotary board blinked. NOW SEEING #25. The room shuffled as a whole, the collective glancing down to stare empty-eyed at tickets that might have been a hundred digits away. After a moment, a throaty voice called from the back:
“He left!” A pause, and then another cranking from the rotary board. NOW SEEING #26. Another shuffle, then a woman with frizzy red hair staggered up and walked herself and her overlarge brown duffel bag across the room and through the door. The room settled again.
Above, the fans chopped on monotonously, someone blew a bubble with their gum, popped it, and went back to chewing. Above, some small rodent pattered about in a vent, and in a far corner, beyond the door, Quillan could hear someone arguing with their caseworker. He closed his eyes, acutely aware of the sweat dripping down the back of his neck. He could feel a vein throbbing in his temple, could hear the wet, repetitive chomp of molars on bubblegum behind him. His face contorted, his brows furrowing deeply, his teeth grinding. The whole room vibrated with bored sound, and beneath his shirt, the four mostly healed bullet wounds throbbed in time.
 He hadn’t been fully aware of himself, not when he staggered to his feet, and not when his chair went reeling back. Only the clatter it caused as it bounced across the linoleum brought him back, and by that point every eye in the building was on him. He faltered, struck immediately by morbid, nausea-inducing embarrassment, and hovered between the desire to carry on with his sudden bought of bravery, pick up his chair and sit down, or run out. Across the room, one of the secretaries lifted her head, and her stare fixed on him.
“ So – sorry..” He bent, fixed his chair, and sat. Two moments later he stood again, white as paste, and stumbled over to the desk. The secretary behind it eyed him from behind gaudy, horn-rimmed glasses. She was pretty in an imposing kind of way, with dark hair, a heavy tan, and a neck that was just a little too long.
“Yes, sir?” She had an accent the likes of which he’d never heard before. His palms itched.
“Hi, uh, yes, h – hi,” He leaned forward, pressing his hands down upon the counter to steady himself. “Look, I kn – know there’s n – n – numbers, b – but this – sss is imp – imp – p – p – portant!”
“Okay, sir,” She returned her eyes to her computer monitor and gives a thin, unconcerned smile. “Have you filled out the required forms–?”
“Y – yes! Yes, I h – have! No, th – this is—look, som – wuh – one t – t – tried t – to k – kill m – me!” He threw his hands up in frustration, and immediately noticed the sweat stains on the lino countertop. Withering, he dropped back into place and hurriedly tried to wipe away his shame.
“Okay, sir,” She chewed the end of her pen a moment, then procured another sheet of paper beneath her desk and made three separate marks upon it. “Then can you fill out this sheet as well? You can bring it along to your caseworker as well.”
“Are you serious–?!”
 “Mr Chevalier!” A woman’s voice, followed by a bang. The case door flew open, it’s handle cracked into the drywall behind and showered the floor with plaster flakes. Three men came bundling out in various states of disarray. The first, and the shortest, a man in a faded leather jacket and scuffed boots, came staggering out backwards, while two taller, much wider figures followed him out. Chevalier, his hair out of place and his black eyes wide, staggered and only just regained his balance before going over completely. The two others, dressed in the black CCB uniform, set themselves between him and the door and crossed their arms.
At a standstill, Chevalier took a step forwards, then a hasty three back. Something small and blue slipped out of his pocket and landed open behind him on the tiles. Quill, who’d quite forgotten who he was or what he’d been doing, glanced at the small document. A CCB issued passport, the open page bearing a large red stamp that read REJECTED.
 “This is – This, Marty, man, c’mon, we’ve played poker together! You know me, I’m harmless!”
Marty, the man on the right, shrugged his heavy shoulders and tipped his head.
“Just doing my job, René.”
“C’mon, man! This is – this is racism!” He seemed to fixate on this idea, and leaning to the side, as if to spy whatever poor caseworker stood behind it, shouted:
“THIS IS RACISM!” He cupped his hands to his mouth as he said the word, embellishing it. “Why would you even give me a K6 licence if you’re just going to punish me for it? I do my checks, Cynthia!”
“Alright, c’mon René,” Marty had uncrossed his arms and was now advancing again. “You’re making a scene.”
“No, no,” René, putting both hands up, back-stepped again, reopening the distance between them. “No, it’s fine. I’m leaving. I’m going. I’m a good boy.” He circled the collection of chairs and made his way towards the exit. Marty and his associate watched, and after a moment, they rolled their eyes and turned away.
“Oh, and Marty?” Chevalier had re-entered, his hands stuffed into his pockets, a cigarette hanging off his lip. There was something deliberately 50’s about his look, as if he’d watched Grease one too many times and was attempting to imitate Travolta. All he was missing was the patch on his back.
Marty turned, a hard look creasing his face, but he listened as Chevalier said:
“Tell Cynthia she’s a racist for me?” A smile split across René’s face, and a devilish sort of light danced in those jet black eyes. Marty only scowled.
“Out, Chevalier. Now, before I throw you out. Understand?”
“Sure,” René rolled his cigarette from one corner of his mouth to the other, then tapped the end with his finger. “Just grabbing a re-application sheet. Two minutes.”
 God. Uncomfortably aware of the man now standing at his back, Quill faced the woman at the desk again and drummed his fingers uncomfortably. The secretary, meanwhile, seemingly faced with either speaking with a nervous disaster or an asshole, gave Quillan a wide smile and said:
“I’m sorry, sir, as you were saying? They tried to kill you?”
“Yes! Y – yes, l – look, they sh – shot me, th – th – three t - times!” He grimaced, then waved a hand at his chest.
“And who were they, sir? These people who shot at you?”
“I don’t know!” Frustration bloomed in a rare moment of anger, and he slapped his palms down on the desk. “I d – didn’t stop to ask q – q – questions!”
The secretary nodded, chewed her pen cap once more, and then met his eyes with another smile.
“Okay, sir, in that case,” She routed around under her desk a moment, then came up with another sheet of paper. “This is an emergency report sheet, we process these within 15 working days—“
“Are y – you kidding m – me?” Quill grabbed at his hair and pulled on it, just as the rotary board above cranked up another number.
 NOW SEEING #27
 The woman nodded, as if she understood, and simpered a while as she clicked around her screen.
“I’m sorry, sir, but these are the policies under which we operate, if you would like, I could give you a copy of our complaints policy? Or maybe if you’re in a rush you could e-mail us over your query?”
Undone, Quill gaped at her, then screwed up his eyes, took one last deep breath of piney-bleach and walked away. He left the desk, passed the rows of seats, and tossed his ticket stub in the direction of the nearest bin. It missed by a mile.
He got as far as the parking lot before a hand dropped down on his shouder. Warm, firm, and halting, he half expected to see Marty standing behind him. Only it wasn’t, it was Chevalier. The man was looking at him with a curious expression upon his face, concern, amusement, both, something else? He couldn’t tell.
 “Hey, are you okay?” His voice was surprisingly gentle. “I heard what you were trying to say in there, even if she didn’t. You look like you’ve been through hell.” He let Quill go and finally lit his cigarette. “You want to talk about it?”

Why Do My Teeth Hurt When I Eat Sweets?
You have heard a lot that my teeth hurt when I eat sweets. Oral health is not all about cavities and gum disease. Studies have shown a connection between the health of an individual’s mouth and general wellness.
Experts believe oral health issues to be a global health burden. Keep in mind that everyone’s teeth react differently.

Causes of Sugar Sensitivity
Dental decay is painless before the nerves become affected. Your sensitivity to sweet is because of exposed dentin, normally on the start. Occasionally it gets so bad on misdiagnosed as an ulcer. This is exactly what happens: Recession of the gum cells causes a little root structure to become weak, and it’s extensive.
Loss of Enamel
Enamel is the solid outer layer that protects the inner coatings of a tooth. As hard as tooth enamel is also, it may be affected. Cavities are forming in the middle of the tooth. Enamel may also be cracked or chipped. Unlike bone, it cannot grow back by itself.  This reveals the dentinal tubules back the protoplasm of the cells which shaped the dentin. However, remineralization pushes phosphorus and calcium back to the teeth.
Cavities
Acidity is the main cause of tooth decay – maybe not the sugar. When you consume sugar, it instantly starts interacting with the plaque bacteria to produce acid. The acid melts your enamel steadily, making the cavities in your teeth. Tooth decay often leads to tooth abscesses, where you might want to pay a visit to the dentist to have the tooth removed.
Eating Acidic Foods
Sugar is not the only dietary component that may harm your grin. Foods and drinks high in antioxidants eliminate the enamel that protects your teeth, a procedure called tooth erosion. This affects the look of your teeth and opens the doorway for germs, resulting in cavities or infection.
Tooth Damage
Why do my teeth hurt when I eat sweets? Inflamed and sore gum tissue can lead to sensitivity due to the reduction of ligaments, which exposes the main surface, leading right into the tooth’s nerve. Eating sweets is the main cause of tooth damage.
Tooth Whitening Treatments
Every professional teeth whitening product uses the same active ingredients: hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Using the lightest products may trigger teeth whitening sensitivity for some individuals. Always choose the products with lower peroxide degrees (approximately five to six percent) and shorter application times (five minutes).
Applying the same ingredient dentists use in a less concentrated formulation provides indirect bleaching to present a brighter smile.
Teeth Gum Hurt
A tooth that hasn’t broken through the gum (affected tooth). Gingivitis is a gum disease that causes red, swollen, and tenders that bleed easily when brushed. The place around this tooth may ache, beating, and also be very debilitating. Issues with harm to the nerves at the middle of the tooth (pulp) may be due to injury to the face or out of the grinding tooth.

How Can I Prevent Tooth Sensitivity to Sugar?
Watch What You Eat
A few of the best foods for healthy teeth are new veggies and fruits due to their high nutrient value and other teeth cleaning advantages. There are calcium-rich foods, like low-fat or fried milk, cheese and yogurt, fortified soy beverages, canned salmon, almonds, and dark green leafy vegetables, which help to develop strong bones and teeth. Chewing on crispy foods has the spit running, which, combined with water, also scrub away plaque-causing bacteria and food particles.
Watch Your Sugar Intake
Sugar is like an attraction for bacteria. The two harmful bacteria within the mouth are Streptococcus Mutans and Streptococcus Sorbrinus. Both of these feed on the sugar that you consume and normalize dental plaque, and it can be a sticky, colorless film that forms on the surface of their teeth.
Suppose the plaque isn’t washed away by cleaning or saliva. In that case, the surroundings in your mouth become dirtier, and cavities might begin to form. If the pH of plaque falls below normal, or less than 5.5, the acidity starts to dissolve minerals and destroy the tooth enamel. Erosions will shape, and they’ll become bigger until a big hole appears.
Avoid Acidic Foods
Avoid soda, sports drinks, or other strong beverages instantly to preserve your teeth for a couple of hours.
Don’t use drinks such as coffee, high in carbohydrates and rich in color.
Avoid highly acidic foods for teeth-whitening such as oranges and strawberries.
After acidic foods or beverages, wash your mouth with water, drink milk, or enjoy a cheese snack right after. Dairy and other calcium-rich foods might help neutralize acids.
Change Brushing Habits
Brush once you drink or eat.  A mouth rinse that’s fluoride may also assist.
Drink more water to be the best drink for your overall health.
Moving the toothbrush in kind, circular movements to eliminate plaque.
You should brush smoothly your tongue each time you brush your teeth.
Mouthwash reduces the total amount of acid in the mouth, cleans hard-to-brush areas in the teeth region, and remineralizes the teeth.
Avoid Self-Whitening Treatments
You might only need careful cleaning to restore your smile’s sparkle. Pick a product with a peroxide level around in the middle of that scale. Get a licensed cleaning and mouth exam, even if you choose to whiten your teeth at home.
Visit Your Dentist
Ask your dentist about why do my teeth hurt when I eat sweets, what to use for it and how much lightening you can anticipate. Your dentist will examine your cavities and check the health of your gums. Treating them before you whiten is safer for your jaws. Your teeth color changes with age and it varies from person to person.
What Toothpaste Should I Use?
Sensitivity toothpaste on the market will take care of the problem by treating the dentinal flips’ opening and protecting them from pain. Sometimes, just getting rid of the plaque on the teeth is enough to release.
How Can I Treat Tooth Sensitivity?
Depending upon the root cause of the pain, different therapies may be used. Your dentist may determine your identity through a dental examination, and, sometimes, dental radiography (X-rays) is required. After the test is tooth thinning, the dental practitioner can employ multiple treatments to remineralize the tooth.
Painkillers
Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen work especially well against dental pain or moderate toothaches.
OTC numbing gels and lotions that contain ingredients like benzocaine may freeze the area. Applying a cold compress can help relieve the pain of a toothache.
Saltwater beverage is a frequent home remedy for a toothache.
Garlic is a common family ingredient that some peoples use to relieve pain.
Mouthguard
Mouthguards are made and come instantly to wear to protect teeth. They’re cheap and can be purchased at most sporting goods stores and department stores. But little can be done to correct their match; they’re tight, make talking and breathing hard, and supply little if any protection. Dentists don’t support their use.
Fillings
The dentists place a crown to fill the cracked tooth to shield it from further injury or bacterial invasion. A cavity may call for a multi-prong method of cure based on how far the disease has improved. After the tooth damage is more complex, dental bonding might be supported. Dental bonding uses a dental composite gum, that bond to your teeth when a dental curing light is shone.
Sealants
Dental sealant is a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing coverings of back teeth, especially on the premolars and molars, to stop tooth decay. The sealant instantly bonds into the teeth’ holes and channels, forming a protective shield over the enamel. Sealants can protect up to 10 years, but they need to be examined for cracking at proper dental check-ups.
Fluoride
Fluoride treatment can, sometimes, reverse a pit in the early stages of its growth. It reduces the corrosion of tooth enamel from the creation of Fluorapatite and its fusion into the tooth. The fluoride ions decrease tooth enamel demineralization speed and boost the speed of remineralization of teeth in the first phases of cavities.
It uses these effects by the demineralization and remineralization cycle. The remineralization cycle applies to preventative methods when fluoride is found in the oral cavity. After fluoride is consumed, it has a minimum impact.
Special Toothpaste
There are many causes that cavities grow more common with age. Some include common prescription toothpaste that causes dry mouth, the recession of gums. Always choose Hydroxyapatite nanocrystals-rich product.
A variety of calcium phosphates are including in formulations for remineralization, which could help in the reformation of enamel to get the answer that my teeth hurt when I eat sweets.
To avoid unfavorable effects on both teeth and gums, we recommend consulting a dentist to decide the best treatment plan. Tooth whitening not only cleans your teeth but, more importantly, motivates you to take better care of your teeth, which will enhance your overall health.
