What causes tooth sensitivity?

Fizzy drinks, wine and acidic fruit juices, such as pineapple juice, can damage tooth enamel.

When the gum recedes, part of the tooth root may become exposed, increasing sensitivity to cold or brushing. Brushing too hard can contribute to this problem.

Grinding or clenching the teeth, often linked to stress, can wear away enamel and expose the dentine, increasing sensitivity.

Decay, a crack or a damaged dental restoration can also cause sensitivity. Some treatments, such as teeth whitening, may also cause temporary discomfort.

Treating tooth sensitivity

What are the symptoms of tooth sensitivity?

The main symptom is brief pain or discomfort when:

Consuming hot, cold, sweet or acidic food or drinks.
Brushing your teeth or flossing.
Coming into contact with cold air or breathing through your mouth.

Pain that continues after exposure to heat or cold, occurs spontaneously, or is accompanied by swelling or a fever should be assessed promptly: it may not be simple hypersensitivity.

Treating tooth sensitivity

What solutions are available to treat tooth sensitivity?

Treatment for tooth sensitivity depends on its cause. Several solutions can protect sensitive areas and ease the pain:

Specialist toothpastes: depending on their formulation, their ingredients can reduce hypersensitivity through different mechanisms.
Fluoride mouthwashes: these may be recommended as an additional measure in certain situations, but they are no substitute for brushing or investigating the cause of the sensitivity.
Application of varnishes or composite materials: the dental surgeon can apply fluoride varnishes or composite materials to protect sensitive areas.

Treating tooth sensitivity

Treatments provided by your dentist

Desensitising the tooth: certain dental procedures can desensitise teeth by applying specific agents to the tooth surface.
Gum grafting for significant gum recession: in cases of severe gum recession, a gum graft may be considered to cover the exposed root and reduce sensitivity.

Treating tooth sensitivity

How can you prevent tooth sensitivity?

There is no secret to preventing tooth sensitivity: you need to adopt healthy habits.

Oral hygiene

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a suitable toothpaste, and avoid brushing too hard. You should brush at least twice a day.

Diet

Limit acidic food and drinks that erode enamel, and eat calcium-rich foods to help strengthen your teeth.

Regular dental check-ups

Regular examinations can detect early signs of erosion or gum recession, allowing sensitivity to be treated before it becomes too troublesome.

Solutions for bruxism

If you have bruxism, consult a dental surgeon who can look for signs of the condition and assess suitable solutions, including a protective night guard where indicated.

FAQ

Are toothpastes designed to treat tooth sensitivity effective?

They can help reduce hypersensitivity when used regularly and correctly. In some cases, they are not enough and need to be combined with treatment at the dental practice.

Can tooth sensitivity be treated permanently?

Sensitivity can be managed, but it cannot always be cured permanently, depending on the underlying cause. The first step is to identify the source and change your habits to achieve optimal oral hygiene.

Should I see a dentist if I have tooth sensitivity?

Yes. It is important to consult a professional who can assess the cause of the sensitivity and recommend suitable treatment before the problem gets worse.

Can tooth sensitivity go away on its own without treatment?

Rarely. Tooth sensitivity generally does not improve without treatment or a change in habits. If it persists or returns, have it examined.
