\"dentist<\/a>When a cup of hot soup or a\u00a0refreshing summer\u00a0popsicle leave you wincing in pain, we probably don\u2019t have to tell you you\u2019ve got a problem with sensitive teeth. Your dentist in Mt Holly wants your teeth to be as healthy as possible, so read on for the list of what may be causing your sensitivity, and how you can prevent it from worsening!<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

The top five causes of sensitive teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n

Without further ado, we present the list of what could be causing your tooth troubles!<\/span><\/p>\n

#1: Aggressive toothbrushing<\/span><\/h4>\n

There are a few places you want to be aggressive — on the basketball court, on the New Jersey turnpike\u2026 but your mouth is not one of them! If you\u2019re brushing too hard, you\u2019re also wearing down your tooth enamel, and that\u2019s a major factor for tooth sensitivity. Aggressive toothbrushing can also lead to gum recession, exposing your tooth roots to heat and cold. To avoid these problems, make sure you\u2019re brushing calmly, in gentle circles, using a soft bristled brush. <\/span><\/p>\n

#2: Tooth erosion<\/span><\/h4>\n

Your sensitivity could also be brought on by excessive acid consumption. If you frequently eat or drink highly acidic foods and beverages, you\u2019re accelerating the erosion of your tooth enamel, exposing your teeth to painful sensitivity. Beer, sodas and highly salty foods are all things that you might want to consider cutting back on for healthier teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Tooth decay<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re ignoring a spot of decay on your teeth, your mouth won\u2019t let you forget about it. Cavities and infection can cause significant sensitivity. That\u2019s your body\u2019s way of telling you something\u2019s wrong — so listen to it. Visiting your Mt Holly dentist to restore your tooth to its natural health will fix the sensitivity. <\/span><\/p>\n

#4: Tooth grinding<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re grinding your teeth at night, you\u2019re wearing down the enamel and, guess what? That\u2019s causing your sensitivity. See your dentist in Mt Holly as soon as you suspect you\u2019re grinding your teeth, and you\u2019ll be treated with a custom-fit, removable mouth guard to protect your teeth and jaw from the pressure at night. <\/span><\/p>\n

#5: Recent dental work<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019ve just had a dental procedure, like a filling, crown or teeth whitening treatment, your teeth will likely be sensitive for the first few days following the treatment. Don\u2019t worry — with a little patience, this sensitivity should subside soon. But don\u2019t hesitate to contact your dentist if discomfort persists.<\/span><\/p>\n
