SENSITIVE TEETH

Hypersensitivity affects 45 million adults in the United States, and 10 million are chronically affected with sensitive teeth. Tooth sensitivity is tooth discomfort after eating cold or hot foods or liquids, or even breathing cold air.

This problem often happens when gums recede and/or cementum is not presence. Gum tissue acts like a protective blanket to cover the roots of the teeth, but as the gums recede the underlying tooth roots are exposed. Thousands of tiny dentinal tubules (channels) leading to the tooth’s never center (pulp) are than exposed. These tubules allow more stimuli like heat, cold or pressure to reach the nerve in the tooth and you feel pain.

Tooth sensitivity is caused by a number of factors: brushing to hard or with too much pressure, which removes gum tissue. Two out of three people brush too hard.

Using a hard tooth brush instead of a soft one.

Poor oral hygiene, which leads to plaque build-up around the teeth and gums. This plaque hardens into tartar. The bacteria that live in plaque cause gum disease and gum recession. The exposed roots contain small pores or tubules, which lead directly to the nerve of the tooth. Pain, pressure and cold stimuli can travel down the tubules and trigger the tooth nerve, causing pain and discomfort.

Long-term use of mouthwashes such as Listerine or Oraldene damage dentine and cause dentin sensitivity, and reverse the beneficial effects of toothpaste.

Root sensitivity can occur after having your teeth cleaned, following root planning, crown placement, or even having fillings.  The good news is this sensitivity will disappear in about four to six weeks.

Decreased saliva flow: a simple test is to invert the lower lip, dry off the mucous membrane and see how long it takes for small droplets of saliva to flow from the minor salivary glands. If it takes more than a minute, the saliva flow is down.

The key to preventing tooth sensitivity is to keep your gums healthy by reducing the pressure you use while brushing, using a soft toothbrush, and maintaining good oral health habits.  This means brushing all your teeth for 2-3 minutes, not the usual 30-45 seconds that most people brush. Flossing is also crucial in order to reach the 35 percent of the tooth surfaces where brushing can not reach.

What to you once you already have sensitive teeth: Use a toothpaste for sensitivity. They work in a cumulative fashion to cover the open tubules. They contain strontium chloride and/or potassium nitrate, which act to remineralize the tooth surface by diffusing into the open pores (tubules) on the enamel. This process helps block transmission of sensation from the tooth surface to the tooth nerve. They need to be used four to six weeks before any changes can be noted.

Continue to practice brushing gently and carefully around the gumline, so you do not remove more gum tissue or continue to demineralize the tooth surface. Avoid highly acidic foods like citrus or soda pop that can work against the sensitivity toothpaste. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush twice/day, using a low abrasion desensitizing toothpaste. Use fluoride mouth rinse to help remineralize the tooth surface. Fluoride gels and varnish are also effective.

Don’t use a tartar control toothpaste, use a fluoridated toothpaste or desensitizing toothpaste. Try spreading a thin layer of desensitizing toothpaste on the exposed roots with your finger or a Q-tip before you go to bed.

Avoiding very cold foods. Monitor your intake of fruit drinks or sports drinks that are high in sugar and/or acid; as well as tomatoes, pickles, citrus, soda, and tea.

1) THE FUNNY SIDE OF DENTISTRY

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist. “I want a tooth pulled, and I don’t want Novacaine because I’m in a big hurry,” the woman said. “Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we’ll be on our way.” The dentist was quite impressed. “You’re certainly a courageous woman,” he said. “Which tooth is it?” The woman turned to her husband and said, “Show him your tooth, dear.”
