10​ ​Biggest​ ​Causes​ ​of​ ​Tooth​ ​Sensitivity   

Are​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​tender?​ ​From​ ​acidic​ ​foods​ ​to​ ​certain​ ​toothpastes,​ ​a  number​ ​of​ ​culprits​ ​could​ ​be​ ​to​ ​blame.   

Does​ ​drinking​ ​an​ ​ice​ ​cold​ ​beverage​ ​cause​ ​dental​ ​discomfort?​ ​Or​ ​do​ ​you​ ​find  yourself​ ​wincing​ ​when​ ​you​ ​brush​ ​or​ ​floss?​ ​You​ ​could​ ​have​ ​what’s​ ​known​ ​as  tooth​ ​sensitivity.  You​ ​don’t​ ​have​ ​to​ ​put​ ​up​ ​with​ ​the​ ​pain,​ ​however.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​things​ ​you​ ​can​ ​do  to​ ​lessen​ ​tooth​ ​sensitivity ​and​ improve​ ​your oral​ ​health, says Leslie​ ​Seldin,  DDS,​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​in​ ​New​ ​York​ ​City​ ​and​ ​an​ ​associate​ ​professor​ ​of​ ​dentistry​ ​at​ ​the  Columbia​ ​University​ ​College​ ​of​ ​Dental​ ​Medicine.  Here’s​ ​why​ ​you​ ​could​ ​be​ ​experiencing​ ​this​ ​mouth​ ​malady​ ​—​ ​and​ ​steps​ ​you  can​ ​take​ ​to​ ​find​ ​relief​ ​for​ ​sensitive​ ​teeth:  1.​ ​You​ ​brush​ ​with​ ​too​ ​much​ ​gusto.​ Sometimes​ ​tooth​ ​sensitivity​ ​comes​ ​from  brushing​ ​with​ ​too​ ​much​ ​force​ ​or​ ​using​ ​a​ ​hard-bristled toothbrush.​ ​Over​ ​time,  you​ ​can​ ​wear​ ​down​ ​the​ ​protective​ ​layers​ ​of​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​and​ ​expose  microscopic​ ​hollow​ ​tubes​ ​or​ ​canals​ ​that​ ​lead​ ​to​ ​your​ ​dental​ ​nerves.​ ​When  these​ ​tubes​ ​are​ ​exposed​ ​to​ ​extreme​ ​temperatures​ ​or​ ​acidic​ ​or​ ​sticky​ ​foods,  tooth​ ​sensitivity​ ​and​ ​discomfort​ ​can​ ​result.​ ​The​ ​simplest​ ​solution​ ​is​ ​to​ ​switch  to​ ​a​ ​toothbrush​ ​with​ ​softer​ ​bristles​ ​and​ ​to​ ​be​ ​gentler​ ​when​ ​brushing.  2.​ ​You​ ​eat​ ​acidic​ ​foods.​ If​ ​the​ ​pathways​ ​to​ ​your​ ​nerves​ ​are​ ​exposed,​ ​acidic  foods​ ​such​ ​as​ ​tomato​ ​sauce,​ ​lemon,​ ​grapefruit,​ ​kiwi,​ ​and​ ​pickles​ ​can​ ​cause  pain.​ ​But​ ​avoiding​ ​these​ ​foods​ ​can​ ​help​ ​you​ ​avoid​ ​any​ ​tooth​ ​discomfort.  3.​ ​You’re​ ​a​ ​tooth-grinder.​ Even​ ​though​ ​tooth​ ​enamel​ ​is​ ​the​ ​strongest  substance​ ​in​ ​your​ ​body,​ ​grinding​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​can​ ​wear​ ​down​ ​the​ ​enamel.​ ​By  doing​ ​so,​ ​you​ ​expose​ ​the​ ​dentin,​ ​or​ ​the​ ​middle​ ​layer​ ​of​ ​the​ ​tooth,​ ​which  contains​ ​the​ ​hollow​ ​tubes​ ​that​ ​lead​ ​to​ ​your​ ​nerves.​ ​Talk​ ​to​ ​your​ ​dentist​ ​about  finding​ ​a​ ​mouth​ ​guard​ ​that​ ​can​ ​stop​ ​you​ ​from​ ​grinding.​ ​The​ ​best​ ​guards​ ​are  custom-made​ ​to​ ​fit​ ​your​ ​bite,​ ​Dr.​ ​Seldin​ ​says.  4.​ ​You​ ​use​ ​tooth-whitening​ ​toothpaste.​ Many​ ​manufacturers​ ​add  tooth-whitening​ ​chemicals​ ​to​ ​their​ ​toothpaste​ ​formulas,​ ​and​ ​some​ ​people

are​ ​more​ ​sensitive​ ​to​ ​them​ ​than​ ​others.​ ​If​ ​your​ ​toothpaste​ ​contains  whitening​ ​agents,​ ​consider​ ​switching​ ​to​ ​one​ ​that​ ​doesn’t. 

  5.​ ​You’re​ ​a​ ​mouthwash​ ​junkie.​ Like​ ​whitening​ ​toothpaste,​ ​some  over-the-counter​ ​mouthwashes​ ​and​ ​rinses​ ​contain​ ​alcohol​ ​and​ ​other  chemicals​ ​that​ ​can​ ​make​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​more​ ​sensitive​ ​—​ ​especially​ ​if​ ​your  dentin’s​ ​exposed.​ ​Instead,​ ​try​ ​neutral​ ​fluoride​ ​rinses​ ​or​ ​simply​ ​skip​ ​the​ ​rinse  and​ ​be​ ​more​ ​diligent​ ​about​ ​flossing​ ​and​ ​brushing.  6.​ ​You’ve​ ​got​ ​gum​ ​disease.​ Receding​ ​gums,​ ​which​ ​are​ ​increasingly​ ​common  with​ ​age​ ​(especially​ ​if​ ​you​ ​haven't​ ​kept​ ​up​ ​with​ ​your​ ​dental​ ​health),​ ​can​ ​cause  tooth​ ​sensitivity.​ ​If​ ​gum​ ​disease​ ​or​ ​gingivitis​ ​is​ ​the​ ​problem,​ ​your​ ​dentist​ ​will  come​ ​up​ ​with​ ​a​ ​plan​ ​to​ ​treat​ ​the​ ​underlying​ ​disease,​ ​and​ ​may​ ​also​ ​suggest​ ​a  procedure​ ​to​ ​seal​ ​your​ ​teeth.  7.​ ​You​ ​have​ ​excessive​ ​plaque.​ The​ ​purpose​ ​of​ ​flossing​ ​and​ ​brushing​ ​is​ ​to  remove​ ​plaque​ ​that​ ​forms​ ​after​ ​you​ ​eat.​ ​An​ ​excessive​ ​buildup​ ​of​ ​plaque​ ​can  cause​ ​tooth​ ​enamel​ ​to​ ​wear​ ​away.​ ​Again,​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​can​ ​become​ ​more  sensitive​ ​as​ ​they​ ​lose​ ​protection​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​the​ ​enamel.​ ​The​ ​solution​ ​is​ ​to  practice​ ​good​ ​daily​ ​dental​ ​care​ ​and​ ​visit​ ​your​ ​dentist​ ​for​ ​cleanings​ ​every​ ​six  months​ ​—​ ​or​ ​more​ ​frequently​ ​if​ ​necessary.  8.​ ​You’ve​ ​had​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​procedure.​ It’s​ ​common​ ​to​ ​experience​ ​some  sensitivity​ ​after​ ​a​ ​root​ ​canal,​ ​an​ ​extraction,​ ​or​ ​the​ ​placement​ ​of​ ​a​ ​crown.​ ​If  symptoms​ ​don’t​ ​disappear​ ​after​ ​a​ ​short​ ​time,​ ​you​ ​should​ ​schedule​ ​another  visit​ ​to​ ​your​ ​dentist,​ ​as​ ​it​ ​could​ ​be​ ​a​ ​sign​ ​of​ ​infection.

9.​ ​Your​ ​tooth​ ​is​ ​cracked.​ A​ ​chipped​ ​or​ ​cracked​ ​tooth​ ​can​ ​cause​ ​pain​ ​that  goes​ ​beyond​ ​tooth​ ​sensitivity.​ ​Your​ ​dentist​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​evaluate​ ​your​ ​tooth  and​ ​decide​ ​the​ ​right​ ​course​ ​of​ ​treatment,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​a​ ​cap​ ​or​ ​an​ ​extraction.  10.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​decay​ ​around​ ​the​ ​edges​ ​of​ ​fillings.​ As​ ​you​ ​get​ ​older,​ ​fillings  can​ ​weaken​ ​and​ ​fracture​ ​or​ ​leak​ ​around​ ​the​ ​edges.​ ​It’s​ ​easy​ ​for​ ​bacteria​ ​to  accumulate​ ​in​ ​these​ ​tiny​ ​crevices,​ ​which​ ​causes​ ​acid​ ​buildup​ ​and​ ​enamel  breakdown.​ ​Be​ ​sure​ ​to​ ​see​ ​your​ ​dentist​ ​if​ ​you​ ​notice​ ​this​ ​type​ ​of​ ​tooth  sensitivity​ ​between​ ​visits;​ ​in​ ​most​ ​cases,​ ​fillings​ ​can​ ​be​ ​easily​ ​replaced.  Tooth​ ​sensitivity ​is​ treatable.​ ​In​ ​fact,​ ​you​ ​might​ ​find​ ​that​ ​using​ ​toothpaste  specifically​ ​made​ ​for​ ​sensitive​ ​teeth​ ​helps,​ ​Seldin​ ​says.​ ​However,​ ​these  formulas​ ​don’t​ ​work​ ​for​ ​everyone.  If​ ​your​ ​sensitivity​ ​is​ ​extreme​ ​and​ ​persists​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​what​ ​steps​ ​you​ ​take,​ ​be  sure​ ​to​ ​see​ ​your​ ​dentist​ ​for​ ​an​ ​evaluation.​ ​Only​ ​an​ ​office​ ​visit​ ​can​ ​determine  the​ ​most​ ​likely​ ​cause​ ​of​ ​your​ ​tooth​ ​sensitivity​ ​and​ ​the​ ​best​ ​solution​ ​for​ ​your  particular​ ​situation.
