Causes And Treatment Of Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is a discomfort or pain in the teeth caused by their contact with certain types of substances or by the temperature of these substances. In healthy teeth and gums, enamel and cementum respectively protect dentin, an inner layer that contains microscopic tubules. If the dentin loses the protection of the enamel or cementum, these tubules allow heat and cold or acidic or sticky foods to reach the nerves and cells within the tooth, generating sensitivity.

Common causes include cavities, cracked or cracked teeth, wear of a filling or enamel, and gum disease or recession. Possible solutions include desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride gel, filling or inlay, gum grafting, or endodontics.
