Care for Tooth Sensitivity at CDC Dental
Do you wince at the thought of sipping hot coffee or cringe when enjoying a cold ice cream?
Tooth sensitivity can turn these simple pleasures into moments of discomfort. At CDC Dental, we’re dedicated to taking the guess work out of tooth sensitivity and offering you solutions to reclaim the joy of your favourite treats.
Why Are Your Teeth So Sensitive?
Tooth sensitivity, or dentin hypersensitivity, strikes when your enamel wears down or your gums recede, exposing the dentin underneath. This can happen due to various reasons, from your diet to your dental hygiene habits.
Common culprits include
- Enamel Erosion: Acidic and sugary foods are enamel’s arch enemies, wearing it down over time.
- Gum Recession: Pulling back gums exposes sensitive tooth roots, leaving them vulnerable.
- Tooth Decay: Cavities can breach the protective layers of your teeth, getting too close to the nerves.
- Bruxism: Grinding your teeth? This habit can wear down your enamel, exposing the sensitive dentin.
- Dental Procedures: Sometimes, dental work can leave your teeth feeling temporarily sensitive.
