Understanding Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is common problem occuring in young and old age groups which is manifested as mild pain or discomfort in one or more teeth due to exposure to external stimuli.

External stimuli can be hot and cold food, sweet and sour food or acidic beverages. Pain can occur while eating, drinking or even after brushing. The pain of dentinal hypersensitivity is classically short, sharp and rapid onset in character.

Causes of Tooth Sensitivity

Dentinal Hypersensitivity occurs due to wearing off of the outermost layer of tooth called Enamel and exposure of inner layer called Dentin. Sensitivity starts when dentinal tubules in dentin gets exposed to hot and cold temperatures in mouth. It can be generalized or localized.

Exposure of dentinal tubules occurs due to 

1. Gingival Recession (Receding away of gums leading to root exposure.

2. Periodontal Diseases

3. Vigorous Brushing in horizontal motion for long period of time.

4. Enamel Wear and Abrasion

5. Erosion, commonly caused by acids or oesophageal reflux.

6. Attrition of teeth due to tooth grinding or bruxism (also known as Night Grinding).

7. Cavities in mouth

8. Cracked Tooth

9. Fractured or worn out tooth fillings.

10. Excessive consumption of acidic beverages.

11. Poor Plaque Control

Dental Treatment for Tooth Sensitivity or Dentinal Hypersensitivity
