Tooth Sensitivity

With the consumption of hot, cold, sugary or sour food or beverages, there is a sudden reaction in the teeth as well as problems similar to tingling. Sensitivity causes a sharp and deep feeling in the teeth.

The most sensitivity is most caused from root surfaces revealed upon gingival recessions. Although the exact reason is not known, information about the transmission of tooth sensitivity to the dental nerve through the channels at the micron level is emphasized.

• The recessed gum is exposed to the hot, cold and pressure effects of the root surface.
• Exposed canals reach the pulp and cause pain.

Factors Causing Tooth Sensitivity:

• Rough and traumatic brushing cause sensitivity over time due to abrasing enamel and cement.
• Gingival recession,
• Gingival recession,
• Broken teeth,
• Teeth grinding - clenching,
• Plaque accumulation, etc. causes sensitivity.

How Should the Professional Approach be in This Regard?

Pain signals stimulate the nerve by penetrating the dentin exposed to an external effect. Thus, it causes tooth sensitivity. With fluoride varnishes, root surfaces can now be easily healed. Restorations can be made with fillers instead of the missing layers of the tooth.
