SENSITIVE TEETH
Is the taste of ice cream or a sip of hot coffee sometimes a painful experience for you? Does brushing or flossing make you wince occasionally? If so, you may have sensitive teeth.
Possible causes include:
- – Tooth decay (cavities)
- – Fractured teeth
- – Worn fillings
- – Gum disease
- – Worn tooth enamel
- – Exposed tooth root
Dentin is less dense than enamel and cementum and contains microscopic tubules (small hollow tubes or canals). When dentin loses its protective covering of enamel or cementum these tubules allow heat and cold or acidic or sticky foods to reach the nerves and cells inside the tooth. Dentin may also be exposed when gums recede. The result can be hypersensitivity.
– Fluoride gel. An in-office technique which strengthens tooth enamel and reduces the transmission of sensations.
– A crown, inlay or bonding. These may be used to correct a flaw or decay that results in sensitivity.
– Surgical gum graft. If gum tissue has been lost from the root, this will protect the root and reduce sensitivity.
– Root canal. If sensitivity is severe and persistent and cannot be treated by other means, your dentist may recommend this treatment to eliminate the problem
