If you have ever eaten or drank anything hot or cold and you cringe, then you are experiencing a form of tooth sensitivity. Millions of Americans suffer from tooth sensitivity each day, due to cold, sweets, etc. Learning more about tooth sensitivity can help you to find the right solution for your personal needs.
Causes
When you have sensitive teeth, the issue can occur on a regular basis or come and go. Usually, the issue is due to exposed dentin within the root area of the teeth. This exposure can be caused by receded gums or gum disease. When the root is exposed, the nerves are affected by hot or cold, which causes the sensitivity.
Erosion of the gums can be caused by a variety of issues such as an acidic diet, abrasive toothpaste, hard brushing, bulimia, dry mouth, excessive teeth whitening or grinding of the teeth. Thankfully, there are options for treatment, to ensure your teeth feel better and avoid any issues with sensitivity.
