Sensitive Teeth
Tooth sensitivity is among the common causes of a toothache. The phrase “tooth sensitivity” refers to tooth discomfort or feelings of toothache in one or more teeth. The pain of tooth sensitivity is usually sharp, sudden and shooting. Tooth sensitivity occurs when the layer of a tooth underneath the enamel (called the dentin) or the layer covering the root (called cementum) is exposed along the gum line due to receding gums. The exposed areas respond to hot and cold, and sometimes too sweet and spicy foods, and trigger pain.
If you are exhibiting any signs or symptoms of tooth sensitivity, please visit Bells Corners Family Dentistry for a proper assessment and to find out the best steps to take for treatment.
Some factors which can contribute to tooth sensitivity include
Overzealous brushing
You can have too much of a good thing. Brushing your teeth with too much force, or with a hard-bristle toothbrush, may wear down tooth enamel, expose the cementum or dentin and cause tooth sensitivity.
Grinding or clenching your teeth
Grinding can cause the enamel to wear away and leave the dentin exposed.
Gum Disease
Inflamed gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, leaving vulnerable areas exposed.
