What Is Sensitive Teeth?

It Is Caused by Exposed Dentine!

Tooth sensitivity is when pain occurs caused by external stimuli or the enamel that protects our teeth gets thinner or gum recession occurs. It mainly comes from two dental structures and first affecting is the crown.

In addition, periodontal disease causes the root structure to slowly dissipate, gums around teeth start to shrink and roots are exposed, causing sensitivity; gums in older people also shrink slightly because there is no enamel protection around roots. Once the roots are exposed, teeth sensitivity occurs. Many people who brush their teeth encounter sensitive areas and would avoid brushing the sore spots. However, this increases the chance of tooth decay and gum inflammation due to improper oral care.
