Causes of Tooth Sensitivity

Written by
Common Causes of Tooth Sensitivity and How to Find Relief Have you ever cringed while enjoying your favorite hot coffee or biting into a cold ice cream cone? You’re not alone! Tooth sensitivity is a common issue that can make everyday treats feel like a painful challenge. But what exactly are the causes of tooth sensitivity, and how can you find relief? Let’s dive into the root of the problem and explore ways to protect your smile. What is Tooth Sensitivity? Tooth sensitivity, also known as dentin hypersensitivity, occurs when the protective layer of your teeth (enamel) wears away or when your gums recede, exposing the underlying dentin. Dentin contains tiny tubules that connect to the nerves inside your teeth, making them more vulnerable to hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks.

Coughs, Colds and Cavities

Written by
Just as candy, sweets and sports drinks can increase your risk for tooth decay, so too can liquid medications. There are a variety of ingredients commonly found in cough drops and syrup medications that can leave you more susceptible to tooth decay and cavities, especially when the medicine is taken consistently over long periods of time. To create a better taste, many medicines contain high fructose corn syrup and sucrose. These sugars can contribute to decay when bacteria in your mouth feed on the sugars and attack the enamel of your teeth. The citric acid in these syrups can also break down the enamel on the teeth.
