What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity can be described as a slight discomfort experienced when your tooth is exposed to different temperatures or factors. Discomfort usually occurs as a sharp pain in the tooth.
Key takeaways:
- Severe cavities expose your tooth’s nerve endings, resulting in tooth sensitivity.
- Aggressive brushing and flossing may also lead to sensitivity. The quality of your toothbrush and your technique while brushing, are some of the causes of sensitive teeth.
- Fractures in the tooth may expose the dentin causing sensitivity.
Make sure to visit your dentist regularly as your dentist can spot a fracture or a small crack.
