Custom Sensitive Teeth Program
Sensitive teeth can be very troubling. There are many causes and sensitivity varies from person to person. Hypersensitivity is transient pain in the tooth that may occur when people brush, floss, eat or drink something hot /cold, breathe in cold air, or eat sour, acidic, sweet, or sugary foods. The sensitivity comes from the exposure of living dentin cells. Below are common origins for this exposure:
- Gingival (gum) Recession
- Plaque with bacteria producing acid
- Beverages (soda, fruit juice)
- Toothbrush
- Abrasive Toothpaste
- Erosion
- Occlusal Trauma
- Pyrophosphates
- Sugars
- Dry Mouth
- Post Surgery or Root Planing
- Mouth Breather
- Cracked Tooth
- Smoking
- Tooth Whitening
The Dental Group provides their patients with a custom sensitive teeth program designed specifically for their needs.
