Why does Sensitivity Occur?
Why does Sensitivity Occur?
If you have sensitive teeth you may be wondering why one day you suddenly had a reaction to cold drinks or ice cream. Tooth sensitivity for many goes beyond cold liquids to certain types of toothpaste and even acidic foods. As we age we get used to being limited in our activities and come to live with the idea that we can’t do all of the things we used to do with such ease. As a child you may remember eating countless ice lollies and ice creams with no problem. So what changed?
Over time the enamel that protects your teeth can be removed leaving your teeth vulnerable to extreme cold temperatures and extremely acidic food. Without sufficient enamel you are exposing your nerves to these temperatures without offering the protection needed. Enamel can be worn away by excessive brushing, acidic drinks and grinding of the teeth. So what does this mean for tooth whitening? London’s top dentists reveal the answer.
