Sensitive Teeth
Do you experience pain or tingling in your teeth…..
especially when eating sweets or very hot or cold foods?
You may have sensitive teeth.
Pain from sensitive teeth is not always constant; it can come
and go. Constant pain could be a sign of a more serious
problem. It is still important, however, to discuss your
Symptoms with your dentist to determine the cause and proper
Treatment.
WHAT CAUSES TOOTH SENSITIVITY?
In healthy teeth, porous tissue called dentin is protected by your
Gums and by your teeth’s hard enamel shell. Microscopic holes
In the dentin, called tubules, connect to the nerve, triggering
Pain when irritated by certain foods and beverages.
Dentin can be exposed by:
• Receding gums caused by improper brushing or
Gum disease
• Fractured or chipped teeth
• Clenching or grinding your teeth
• Erosion
TREATING TOOTH SENSITIVITY
Depending on the diagnosis, your dentist may recommend one
Or more of the following treatments to relieve the symptoms of
Sensitive teeth:
• A soft-bristle toothbrush, to be gentle on gums or a powered brush.
• A fluoride rinse or gel for sensitive teeth, prescribed by your dentist.
• A desensitizing toothpaste.
In case the above treatment is not reducing the tooth sensitivity, than you need to consult your dentist for further treatment in the clinic.
