17. IV. Sensitive Teeth
Tooth sensitivity – also referred to as dentin
hypersensitivity.
What is Tooth Sensitivity?
- Tooth sensitivity is mainly caused by exposure of
dentine of the tooth to the oral environment. The
dentine has numerous fine tubules which connect to
the pulp. When the nerve endings in the pulp are
irritated by external stimulus, sharp pain is felt.
- When heat, cold or pressure touches these channels,
you feel pain.

Brushing too hard Maintain good oral hygiene
Plaque build up Use a soft bristled toothbrush
Gum disease Use desensitizing toothpaste
Teeth grinding Watch food consumption
Cracked teeth Use fluoridated dental products
Acidic food Avoid grinding and clenching teeth
Age To relieve stress from daily life.
