Sensitive teeth is a problem that affects millions of people every year.
Sensitive teeth can be caused by a number of different factors.
Sensitive teeth can come from exposure to roots or worn tooth enamel. It can also come from a cavity, chipped tooth, or periodontal gum disease. Sensitive teeth can be helped by using a special toothpaste with a desensitizing agent. There are lots of different over the counter toothpaste that are made especially for sensitivities. If toothpaste does not help with the sensitivity problem, then you may need to have other treatments performed. I never used to have a problem with sensitive teeth, but lately I have been wincing every time I eat something cold. I started a couple of weeks ago. I always have ice cream with my kids after they have a soccer match or baseball game. We went to the ice cream shop. I’ve been into my ice cream and a raging pain thought right into my head. I couldn’t get the pain to go away. The next day I was drinking a milkshake and the same thing happened. I decided to talk to my family dentist about the sensitivity problems. The dentist looked at all of my teeth and recommended a couple of different treatments. He did not believe that the problem was extreme. He honestly recommended using the same toothpaste that I already had in my home. He said that the sensitivity might go away if I continue using the toothpaste, but if it got worse, I should call and make another appointment.
