This condition can result in discomfort when certain\ntypes of food are consumed, including those that are cold, hot, spicy, sweet or\nsour. Avoiding these triggers is an easy solution, but the cause of tooth\nsensitivity is more complicated and can signal an underlying dental issue. In\nthis post, your emergency dentist explains why your teeth may be sensitive and\nwhat signs to look out for to avoid a dental emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons for Sensitivity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your sensitivity is a newly developed condition or\nsomething you\u2019ve been dealing with for a prolonged period of time, it\u2019s\nimportant to understand why you\u2019re experiencing this discomfort. Common causes\ninclude: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Natural condition <\/li><li>Enamel erosion <\/li><li>Acid reflux<\/li><li>Cavities <\/li><li>Receding gums <\/li><li>Cracked teeth<\/li><li>Recent dental procedure<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When You Should Talk to Your Dentist <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach out to your dentist if you suddenly experience a high\nlevel of sensitivity or are especially sensitive in a particular area of your\nmouth. If a specific tooth is extremely sensitive for more than a few days and\nreacts strongly to hot and cold temperatures, you should also speak with your\ndentist. Sensitivity lasting more than 30 seconds after coming into contact\nwith an extreme temperature should be addressed as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer you wait, the worse whatever is causing your\nsensitivity can get. With an untreated cracked tooth, bacteria can grow and\nlead to an infection. A case of receding gums leaves your roots and nerves\nexposed and can be a sign of gum disease. Speaking with your dentist now can\nsave you from needing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.willowgrovedentist.com\/emergency-exam-special.html\">emergency\nexam<\/a> later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prevent and Care for Tooth Sensitivity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining a healthy oral hygiene routine can help prevent certain\ncauses of sensitivity. When sensitivity is naturally present, there are also\nsimple ways to lessen the discomfort. The following strategies can be used for\nboth sensitivity prevention and treatment: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Use a soft-bristled toothbrush twice a day, avoiding\nexcessive force<\/li><li>Floss gently as least once a day<\/li><li>Use desensitizing toothpaste <\/li><li>Avoid mouthwashes that contain acids <\/li><li>Limit your consumption of acidic and sugary\nfoods<\/li><li>Use a mouth guard if you are prone to grinding\nyour teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth sensitivity can be a natural condition, but oral\ndiscomfort of any kind should be mentioned to your dentist just in case. Don\u2019t\nfeel like you have to wait for your next checkup to speak with them. If you are\nexperiencing severe pain from sensitivity, reach out to your dentist\nimmediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Advanced Smile Design, Dr. Barry Isdaner has over 45\nyears of experience providing expert care to his valued patients.
