We understand how unpleasant the sensation of sensitive teeth can be. Pain or discomfort when consuming cold, hot, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks can affect quality of life and cause significant distress. Tooth sensitivity is a common issue that can be caused by various factors, but with proper diagnosis and treatment, it can be successfully managed.

What causes sensitivity?

The primary cause of tooth sensitivity is the exposure of dentin, which is located beneath the enamel and contains microscopic tubules leading to the tooth’s nerves. When the protective enamel layer thins or the gums recede, the dentin becomes more vulnerable to external stimuli, leading to pain and unpleasant sensations.

Enamel thinning can be caused by:

• abrasive toothpastes,
• excessive brushing with heavy pressure,
• using a hard toothbrush,
• acidic foods and drinks such as citrus fruits, carbonated beverages, and wine can also contribute to enamel erosion, increasing sensitivity.

Gum recession is often the result of periodontal diseases, which lead to the exposure of tooth roots. This condition allows external irritants to reach the nerve endings, intensifying the discomfort.

Other causes of sensitivity include tooth fractures, cracked fillings, cavities, or whitening procedures, which can temporarily increase tooth sensitivity.
