Tips to avoid Teeth sensitivity, treatment for Teeth sensitivity
1. The usual difiniton of Teeth sensitivity
Teeth sensitivity is a common name for dentin hypersensitivity or root sensitivity. If hot, cold, sweet or very acidic foods and drinks, or breathing in cold air, makes your teeth or a tooth sensitive or painful then you have sensitive teeth. For example, sensitivity to temperature usually means teeth have been compromised in some way. Sometimes it means one or more teeth are hitting too soon or too hard because they have moved out of place slightly, changing how their surfaces meet to form your bite. These shifts may be caused by habits such as thumb sucking, or they can occur because the bone structure of one or more teeth changes.
Sensitive teeth are the most common dental problem. If you feel pain or discomfort when you take in very hot or very cold food or fluids, you have sensitive teeth. The enamel on your teeth wearing thin and exposing the dentin - tiny hollow canals on the teeth, mainly causes this problem. Receding gums can also cause it. Fortunately, you don't have to suffer; there are several things you can do to alleviate the problem.
