What Causes Sensitive Teeth?
Tooth sensitivity, also known as dentin hypersensitivity, occurs when the dentin (the softer layer of tissue beneath your enamel) becomes exposed. This exposure allows external stimuli, such as hot, cold, sweet, or acidic substances, to trigger sharp pain or discomfort. Several common causes contribute to this condition:
Common Causes of Tooth Sensitivity:
Enamel Erosion: Frequent consumption of acidic foods and beverages, aggressive brushing, or acid reflux can gradually wear away tooth enamel, exposing sensitive dentin.
Gum Recession: Gum recession from periodontal disease or aggressive brushing can expose tooth roots, causing increased sensitivity.
Tooth Decay and Cavities: Cavities or decay can cause sensitivity by compromising the protective enamel layer.
Cracked or Fractured Teeth: Damage to teeth can expose nerves, leading to sensitivity.
Dental Procedures: Temporary sensitivity may occur after procedures like fillings, whitening treatments, or root planing.
Grinding or Clenching Teeth: Bruxism can wear down enamel and cause fractures, increasing sensitivity.
