The Underlying Cause of Your Sensitive Teeth

Do you feel pain or aches when you are trying to avoid your favorite foods and drinks? If so, you could be experiencing sensitive teeth. Hot and cold foods can trigger a sensitive spark in your teeth and can at times be painful.

Here is a list of common causes of sensitive teeth:

– Cavities can cause your teeth to feel painful when neglected.

– Too much teeth-whitening exposure can harm your tooth enamel and increase sensitivity.

– A cracked tooth can be hard to see with the naked eye but will cause severe pain that needs to be treated before the bacteria causes cavities, or you fracture your tooth permanently.

– Worn tooth enamel can happen if your toothbrush is too abrasive wearing down your tooth enamel.

– The natural progression of time can also cause your tooth enamel to wear down causing sensitivity, which is why visiting your dentist regularly is essential to keep your oral health in excellent shape.
