Is Your Tooth Sensitive to Hot & Cold Food? Read This Quickly

“You Scream... I Scream... We All Scream For Ice Cream...”

Familiar with these terms? You better be. But, if you put yourself in place of anyone of the thousands of Australians who have tooth sensitivity; you will know how much they cringe on the thought of licking their creamy treat!

The problem of tooth sensitivity can happen to anyone. It happens when the dentin is exposed to the root area from gum disease or receded gums. In contrast to your teeth crowns, the root area of the tooth is not safeguarded by enamel. It is rather protected by cementum.

In time, the enamel and cementum wear away the nerves from your tooth, thus leaving them exposed. And that is what triggers off tooth sensitivity.

Now, a Few of Those Common Causes of Erosion Include:
  • Brushing your teeth over-zealously.
  • Suffering from an acidic diet.
  • Having Acid Reflux Disease.
  • Using an abrasive toothpaste.
  • Teeth Grinding.
  • Dry Mouth.
  • Bulimia 
And etc.

Look a Lot Like What You Usually Do Unmindfully, Doesn’t It? But, truth be told, the issue of tooth sensitivity can be cured easily.

Its Proper Diagnosis

There are loads of ways to treat tooth sensitivity, and every dentist in Enfield (or any other region) will have their own diagnosis.

In words of Shelley Barbara- a dental expert working at a clinic at Enfield-

“There’s is no universal treatment method. And this is because tooth sensitivity occurs due to various reasons. Depending on the cause of this issue, the diagnosis will be chosen.”

Another important aspect to keep in mind is never going to a dentist who assures of treating the issue without addressing its real cause. And if done, then it could make it worse, in time!

Dental Procedures That Works: 
  • Properly bonding inlays or crowns. These may help fix the tooth flaw which is causing the sensitivity.
  • Application of varnish or Fluoride Gel
  • Using a surgical gum graft which safeguards the root and lessens sensitivity if any gum tissue was eroded from the root.
  • And, finally going for a root canal treatment if the sensitivity is very severe. After the treatment, a reliable dentist in Croydon Park will even apply dental sealants to the base of the root to protect it.
So, now that these popular treatments of tooth sensitivity are clear as crystal, waste no time in making an appointment with quality dental care professional.
