Sensitivity - Enjoy Every Bite

Tooth sensitivity sounds like pain or discomfort in the teeth as a response to certain stimuli like when you consume hot, cold, sweet or sour foods and drinks or even by breathing the cold air.

Why does tooth sensitivity occurs?

Teeth sensitivity occur when outer layer of tooth called enamel is worn off and inner second layer of tooth called dentin gets exposed. Dentin has tiny tubules or channels leading to your tooth's center called pulp. These dentinal tubules allow stimuli for hot, cold or sweet food to reach the nerves in your tooth which results in pain or discomfort you feel. Pain can be sharp, sudden and shoot deep into tooth nerve endings. These may range from mild to intense. Sensitivity can also be a symptom of other issues, including cavities, gum disease or a cracked tooth.

Causes Of Sensitivity Teeth

  • Brushing too hard (this can wear the enamel off and expose dentin)
  • Gum recession: this can occur due to periodontal issues, your gum tissue pulls away from your teeth, exposing your roots.
  • Gum disease: inflamed or sore gums may cause sensitivity due to loss of supporting ligaments of attachment.
  • Cracked teeth: chipped/ broken teeth may wear down the enamel and expose underlying dentin
  • Teeth whitening products may cause tooth sensitivity.
  • Age can also be a factor for the sensitivity (25-30 years people are more prone)
  • Acidic foods: Regular consumption of acidic foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes and pickles can causse erosion.
  • Recent dental Procedures: People get sensitive teeth after fillings, teeth cleanings and dental restoration placement which will generally be temporary and usually disappears in 2-3 weeks.
