WE MAY FEEL the dropping temperature in our toes, but we shouldn’t be feeling it in our teeth! Some of us experience a shock of pain as we breathe in the crisp air, or sip some hot chocolate. Tooth sensitivity tends to manifest in temperature extremes, so we notice it more during the winter season.
Sensitivity Is A Cry For Help
Tooth sensitivity is fairly common, but that’s no reason to ignore it! Tooth sensitivity could be your child’s mouth’s signal that something is wrong. For the most part, solutions are simple. And, as with most dental problems, sensitivity is best dealt with early on.
Some Causes of Sensitivity Can Lead To More Severe Problems
Healthy teeth are guarded from extreme temperatures by the tooth’s enamel layer, and by your gums. Sensitive teeth may signal receding gums as a result of gum disease or overbrushing. Sensitivity could also be caused by damaged enamel from a cracked tooth, acid erosion, or decay. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np7ITiE1Yjc?rel=0&w=543&h=305]
