Are your teeth sensitive to temperatures that are cold or hot?

Here’s what you need to know about teeth that are sensitive.

You know what it’s like to suffer from tooth sensitivity if you’ve ever had a hot drink or a cold ice cream cone only to feel a sudden, stinging sensation in your teeth.

Responsive teeth can occur to anyone. But to tackle the root of the problem, proper diagnosis is necessary. Contact us to schedule a checkup if you’re struggling with sensitive teeth, and let’s see what ‘s going on.

What causes sensitive teeth?

When your tooth enamel wears down, your teeth become sensitive, revealing the underlying surface called “dentin.”

Dentin comprises thousands of microscopic channels that provide direct access to your tooth pulp, including blood vessels and nerves, while enamel serves as a protective shield. To enter these nerves, heat and cold will pass through these pathways, causing pain and sensitivity.

So, what causes enamel to wear down?

• Gum disease
• Gum recession
• Tooth decay
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Brushing too hard (or using a hard-bristled toothbrush)
• Tooth clenching and grinding

How to care for your enamel?

For 2 minutes, brush your teeth 2x a day, floss 1x a day, and keep up with your regular dental checkups and cleanings as directed.

Following are answers to some frequently asked questions about Sensitive Teeth.

Is it Bad to have sensitive teeth?

Although it is typically not an emergency problem, sensitive teeth are also a symptom of a bigger problem with dental health. Extra, nobody wants to be in pain to live! Be sure to speak with your periodontist about tooth sensitivity so that you can establish the right treatment plan.

Is tooth sensitivity going to go away?

Only for a few moments do you experience the sharp, short pain, usually after eating something hot or cold (and sometimes under pressure). You’re probably suffering from toothache, not sensitive teeth, whether your teeth are throbbing or in pain. You may reduce the feeling or help it go away entirely, depending on the cause, with proper care and treatment.

Will tooth enamel grow back again?

Tooth enamel is the body’s toughest tissue, but it can not be regenerated. You can “remineralize” your enamel, however, as well as find other solutions to guarantee that your teeth remain solid, safe, and durable.

Is the whitening of teeth for sensitive teeth bad?

Many therapies for at-home teeth whitening cause temporary tooth sensitivity or discomfort. If you already suffer from sensitive teeth, until you have discussed it with our team of dental health providers, avoid over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments.
