What is tooth sensitivity?
Dental sensitivity is a transitory pain syndrome derived from the exposure of the dentin, the internal part of the tooth, to external thermal, chemical or tactile stimuli and that cannot be associated with any other dental pathology.
Under normal conditions, when the tooth is healthy, the enamel and the gum play a protective role, preventing the internal parts of the tooth from being exposed.
When the cement or dentin is exposed due to receding gums or enamel wear, external stimuli (cold, hot, sweet, etc.) can excite the nerve endings causing tooth sensitivity.
What are the main factors that favor gum retraction?
The main factors that can cause retraction of the gums or loss of dental enamel are very varied, some of them can be:
- Abrasion: loss or wear of tooth enamel from rubbing against an external object (for example, abrasion from brushing)
- Attrition: tooth-to-tooth contact on chewing surfaces can lead to loss of enamel (e.g. bruxism)
- Erosion: loss or wear of dental enamel due to chemical action
Is there any treatment for sensitivity?
In some people, pain due to dental sensitivity may be tolerable, while in others, this pain can prevent them from carrying out proper oral hygiene and this can lead to other more serious pathologies such as cavities and gum disease. To avoid problems caused by poor oral hygiene, it is recommended to use products suitable for sensitive teeth.
Currently, there are different types of toothpaste and mouthwashes on the market that are specific for sensitive teeth, just as there are special brushing techniques for areas where there are gingival retractions.
