TEETH SENSITIVITY
The tooth is a sensitive part of the human body. In fact, so sensitive it is that tooth discomfort in one or more teeth that is triggered by hot, cold, sweet, or sour foods and drinks, or even by breathing cold air is felt as pain in the whole jaw sometimes. The pain from the discomfort comes all of a sudden and is sharp, shooting deep into the nerve endings of the teeth.
Causes :
Tooth sensitivity is caused when the underlying layer of the teeth – the dentin – gets exposed as a result of receding gum tissue (the protective blanket that covers the tooth roots) or attrition of overlying enamel.
The Roots which are not covered by hard enamel (Contains thousands of tiny tubules leading to the tooth’s nerve center (the pulp)), allows for the stimuli, that is, the hot, cold, or sweet food, to reach the nerve in the tooth, resulting in severe pain.
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR TOOTH-SENSITIVITY
- Too much of hard brushing of teeth.
- Recession of the gums.
- Gum disease (Gingivitis).
