5 Causes of Sudden Tooth Sensitivity

Sensitivity in teeth is a general issue that can happen at any age. It arises whenever we eat or drink extremely hot or cold food items, affecting dentin, a layer beneath the white enamel of teeth. It makes dentin lose its protective shield and gives twinges and pain in teeth. 

In India, close to 30% of the population has dental hypersensitivity. In this blog, we will walk you through the common causes of teeth sensitivity that you must consider to overcome teeth sensitivity.

Common Causes of Teeth Sensitivity

Brushing Abrasively

One of the most common causes of Teeth Sensitivity is brushing your teeth abrasively (aggressively) or using a toothbrush with sharp-pointed bristles. These two aspects lead to the removal of the dentin protective layer, resulting in teeth sensitivity. It is highly recommended to brush gently using a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Unhealthy Diet

In India, people are fond of sweets, spicy street food, ice-creams, candies, and drinking milkshakes. In marriages and buffets, people eat different foods, from freshly hot cooked starters to directly jumping to ice-creams and desserts. It is prone to affect your tooth enamel and pulverize them over time. 

Hence, it is recommended not to eat hot and cold food dishes together. Avoid excessive consumption of citrus fruits, chilled drinks, preservatives containing juices, and acidic foods to avoid teeth sensitivity.

Tooth Decay

A tiny cavity in your mouth will affect tooth enamel and dentin protective shield, leading to teeth sensitivity. You can get a crown or teeth filling from a dentist or inculcate mouthwash in your oral care regime. We recommend buying Flickr Mouthwash, illustrious for reducing tooth decay because of sodium chloride in its components.

Sinus Infection

If you are suffering from a sinus infection, it might pain your teeth and give you inflammation because of sinus symptoms, such as swelling or discomfort in teeth or head with slight head movement. We recommend contacting your doctor or dentist and getting the needed prescription (painkillers) for the relief.

Teeth Whitening Treatment

If you have recently undergone teeth whitening treatment, you might experience sensitivity in your teeth as a temporary side effect. It happens because some dentists and professionals use extremely harsh tooth whitening products or get the treatment frequently. 

It is advisable to use Mouthwash such as Flickr or Medicated Tooth Gel, which has a teeth-whitening agent and gives you the intended results without any severe side effects. You can even visit your dentist to get a prescription for relief from teeth sensitivity post-whitening treatment.
