TEETH SENSITIVITY - CAUSES AND TREATMENT

                          Teeth sensitivity can occur when you consume hot, cold, sweet or sour foods and even by breathing cold air. Pain can be sharp, sudden and shoot deep into tooth nerve endings.the teeth sensitivity can eiter be a chronic issue or a temporary problem.

                      


CAUSES OF SENSITIVE TEETH

                                        Some people suffer from sensitivity more than others because they have thinner enamel.the enamel is the outermost layer of the teeth ,which helps protect them. mention below are some of the major causes of sensitive teeth among people.

  CONSUMING MORE ACIDIC FOOD 

                                      Some people love to eat tomatoes ,fruits,fruit juices ,citrus stuff etc.. they like to have such foods ,making their mouth fill with water.however, it can cause multiple problems with their teeth .the outermost layer of the teeth is know as enamel.the enamel can get eroded  by the consumption of foods and drinks which are acid rich. it also exposes the tender layer present beneath,know as dentin.people with sensitive teeth can cut down the acid by taking a glass of milk or a piece of cheese after eating.

                                                        

SOME TOOTHPASTE AND TEETH WHITENERS 

                                        everyone wises to get a brigth and shiny smile. few people use special tooth paste and tooth whiteners usually contain peroxide based bleancing solutions.these solutions are responsible for causing sensitivity.almost all people do not feel sensitivity once they stop using these products.

RECEDING GUMS

                                  there are thousands of tiny tubes present in the roots of teeth.these roots make the person feel cold,hot,sour,and more and carry it towards the pulp,the nerve centre of teeth.the roots are covered with gum tissue.but in people suffering from periodontal diseases,the layer pulls away from the teeth.these roots are ultra sensitive and cause sensitivity as they get exposed.

CLENCING AND GRINDING OF TOOTH

                               The strongest material present in our body is the tooth enamel. But grinding or clenching can cause problems. These habits are responsible for wearing away the enamel after a few times. It leads the nerve to end up in a dangerous situation. The wear and tear can be prevented by using mouth guards, making changes in lifestyle and diet, etc.

 BE GENTLE WITH YOUR MOUTH

                                People suffering from sensitivity must visit the dentist. They can help you by letting you know about the actual cause behind the sensitivity. You must make more changes in your lifestyle if you want a bright and pearly white smile. People must opt for special toothpaste for sensitive teeth, switch to a soft-bristled brush, purchase a mouthwash with fluoride, etc.

CHANGE IN DAILY LIFESTYLE

                                 People should avoid consuming acidic foods and beverages to reduce sensitivity. They must avoid citrus fruits, carbonated beverages,wine,andmore. If you’reconsuming such beverages, it is suggested to consume using a straw. The straw will make contact with the teeth quite limited.

SENSITIVE TEETH TREATMENT

                       There is no single treatment option which is good  for everyone. People can try various home remedies and dental procedure according to what suits them best. Mentioned below are some of the major ways sensitivity can be easily treated.

  •                     1) people with sensitivity issues must brush their teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush along with a thin layer of toothpaste containing fluoride in a normal amount. Fluoride toothpaste is very beneficial as it makes the enamel strong and helps in reducing pain. They must avoid vigorous strokes while brushing their teeth and brush with gentle hands.
  •                      2) They can also opt for a mouthwash with a very less amount of fluoride present in it. It can help in reducing the sensitivity. You can also visit a dentist nearby to get a sensitive teeth treatment.
  •                     3) they usually recommend getting a mouth guard, which helps the people as their teeth won’t be able to grind by using it. The mouth guard prevents the teeth from getting fractures and rising sensitive teeth.
