Sensitive Teeth? Don't Suffer in Silence!

 

Sensitive Teeth Got You Down? 

Do you experience any discomfort when consuming something cold or hot?Do you feel a sharp pang when brushing your teeth? Millions of people worldwide suffer from the frequent issue of tooth sensitivity.

But fear not! Lv Dental is here to help you smile without the sting. 

What causes tooth sensitivity?

There are several reasons why your teeth might be feeling extra sensitive.Some of the most frequent causes listed below

• Receding gums: When your gums recede, they expose the dentin, the layer beneath your tooth enamel. Dentin is much softer than enamel and contains tiny tubules that lead directly to the nerve of your tooth. This can make your teeth hypersensitive to hot, cold, sweet, and sour stimuli.

• Worn enamel: Over time, enamel can wear away due to factors like acidic foods and drinks, aggressive brushing, or grinding your teeth. This can also expose the dentin and lead to sensitivity.

• Cracked teeth: A cracked tooth can allow irritants to reach the dentin and nerve, causing pain.

• Dental treatments: Certain dental procedures, such as fillings or crowns, can temporarily irritate the tooth and cause sensitivity.

How can Lv Dental treat tooth sensitivity?

The good news is that there are many effective treatments for tooth sensitivity. Depending on the cause and severity of your sensitivity, 

• Desensitizing toothpaste: These toothpastes contain ingredients that block the tiny tubules in your dentin, preventing irritants from reaching the nerve.

• Fluoride treatment: Fluoride strengthens your tooth enamel and helps to prevent further erosion.

• Dental bonding: If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, bonding can cover up the exposed dentin and protect your tooth from sensitivity.

• Gum grafting: If your gums have receded significantly, Lv Dental may recommend gum grafting to cover the exposed dentin and protect your teeth.

Here a few things you can do at home to help manage tooth sensitivity:

• Brush gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

• Avoid acidic foods and drinks.

• Use a straw when drinking cold beverages.

• If you grind your teeth at sleep, use a mouthguard.
