Tired of the twinge? Understanding the Major Causes of Tooth Sensitivity!

Do you wince when you sip your morning coffee or enjoy a scoop of ice cream? Tooth sensitivity is a common, often painful, condition that can make everyday eating and drinking a challenge. At Cosmocare Medical Center, we’re here to help you understand the major culprits behind that sharp, sudden pain and how we can bring you relief!

As shown in the image, tooth sensitivity often stems from three main categories:

Sweet Food: Indulging in sugary treats like candy or even certain sweet fruits and vegetables can trigger sensitivity. The sugars can react with bacteria in your mouth to produce acids that erode enamel, exposing the dentin beneath.

Acid Food: Foods and drinks high in acid, such as vinegar, lemons, and tomatoes, directly contribute to enamel erosion. This wear and tear on your protective tooth surface leaves your nerves vulnerable to external stimuli.

Hot & Cold Food Drinks: Perhaps the most well-known triggers, hot beverages like tea and coffee, or icy cold drinks and foods like ice water and soda, can cause an immediate jolt of pain. This happens when the exposed dentin allows temperature changes to stimulate the nerves within your tooth.

Don’t let tooth sensitivity dictate your diet or dampen your enjoyment of food. Understanding these causes is the first step towards finding effective solutions. Our expert team at Cosmocare Medical Center can help diagnose the root cause of your sensitivity and recommend personalized treatments to alleviate your discomfort and restore your oral health. From desensitizing toothpastes to fluoride treatments and restorative procedures, we have a range of options to bring you lasting relief.
