What brings on sensitive teeth?
It's usually brought on by tooth brush abrasion or recession of the tissue. Both of which will leave the tooth's root slightly uncovered, exposing the sensitive dentin which transmits the cold or hot sensation directly to the nerve of the tooth much faster. Once the enamel is worn away or the tissue is removed, the tooth will become hypersensitive due to this root exposure. One reason we recommend a soft tooth brush and non abrasive tooth paste.





Additional information: You may have developed this sensitivity if you've had a change in your diet over the past few days; more acidic foods such as oranges, lemons or even juice can etch or open the dentin tubules giving you a sensitive tooth or teeth. If this is the case it will subside if you remove these foods or drinks from your diet. Sensodyne tooth paste works well in these cases.





On the contrary, as one responder has suggested that " some get them some don't" is completely wrong. Obviously he unaware of the cause and treatment for this dental problem, since the major causes for sensitive teeth has been known and treated for many years. You can see your dentist if the pain continues, he can apply a solution on the exposed root area that will eliminate the sensitivity and at this time also check your tooth for a possible fracture or crack; which is also a know cause for dental sensitivity.

Reply:It can be thinning of enamel (some whitening systems do this) or receding gums, both of which bring the nerve closer to the surface, or idiopathic, meaning nobody knows why.





Sensodyne toothpaste (and other brands made for this purpose) really do help if you use them exclusively. You'll also learn where in your mouth to put the ice cream and how to eat a Popsicle painlessly, with a little practice.

Reply:Receding gums. I have this problem from time to time myself. Try brushing with Sensodyne toothpaste for a couple of days. Also, brush gently in a circular motion. Rough brushing can cause the enamel to wear away. Hope this helps!
