You may not notice your teeth feel sensitive until your teeth come into contact with a hard surface or extreme temperatures. When this happens, you will experience sharp pain within sensitive teeth. This discomfort is usually temporary but can continue for some hours in more severe cases.
Sensitive teeth can become painful as a result of certain activities such as brushing your teeth too hard or eating and drinking something hot or cold. This sensitivity may also come and go depending on the health of your teeth.
A tooth becomes sensitive when its hard protective enamel surface is damaged and the dentine underneath is exposed. Holes in the dentine lead directly to the nerve, so when they're exposed to extremes of temperature or pressure, they can quickly cause teeth to become painful.
There are a few common causes behind sensitive teeth which your dentist will consider during your checkup:
By understanding the reason behind your sensitive teeth, your dentist can set out the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
Having regular checkups to monitor the health of your teeth will help you to keep your enamel in the best possible condition and protect against sensitivity. An initial consultation with the Pan Dental team will help you identify any potential problems and get personalised advice on preventing greater sensitivity.
