solution for sensitive teeth

 Are you suffering from sensitivity when you have ice creams?or when you have tea/coffee?.Do you   want to know why it happens?Here is the short explanation about it.

Sensitivity in teeth occur due to various problems.Some get sensitivity when they intake hot items.and some may get during cold items,it depends on the problem in your tooth.

WHAT IS SENSITIVITY IN TEETH?

Teeth has three layers.enamel,dentin and pulp.Enamel is the outer most covering.Dentin is the middle layer and pulp is the innermost layer.When there is a wear off in enamel,your dentin layer will exposed outside.Dentin layer has tube like structures called tubules.If the hot/cold items touches the dentinal layer directly ,then you will get sensitivity over that teeth.

Sensitivity in tooth may occur due to countable reasons.The major causes for sensitiviy are

1.over brushing

2.intake of more acidic foods

3.decayed tooth

4.gum disease

5.dislodgement of previous filling.

              

             OVER BRUSHING

Over brushing leads to sensitivity because the enamel structure is wear off and leads to explosion of dentin.Enamel is white in color,where dentin is yellowish in color.So you can clearly differentiate between them.

                                                 INTAKE OF MORE ACIDIC FOODS.

Ahen we consume more acidic foods enamel wear off can easily occur.Acidic foods includes citrus fruits like orange,lemon,grapes,gooseberry and  acidiated drinks like Pepsi,cola also causes tooth sensitivity.

DECAYED TOOTH

When decay is present in enamel you will feel some food catch in your teeth.and when it touches the dentin you will feel the sensitivity.and finally when it touches pulp pain will occur.

GUM DISEASE

When there is excessive plaque formation in your teeth,it will make the enamel to chip off.so the gums will get detached from teeth leading to dentin exposure.So you will feel the sensitivity.

DISLODGEMENT OF PREVIOUS FILLING

If there is a crack or dislodgement in your previous filling,then you will feel the sensitivity,because filling will be done usually in dentinal layer.So when the filling gets dislodged dentin will gets exposed and sensitivity occurs.

sensitive teeth can be treated according to your cause.
