Why Do Teeth Become Sensitive?
Tooth sensitivity is a common dental problem that causes discomfort or pain when your teeth come in contact with hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks. At Gautam Dental Care, we help you identify the root cause and provide gentle, effective treatment.
Worn Enamel The outer protective layer of your teeth (enamel) can wear down due to brushing too hard, acidic foods, or grinding teeth. Once enamel weakens, the underlying dentin gets exposed, causing sensitivity.
Gum Recession When gums pull back from the teeth, the root surfaces become exposed. These roots are not protected by enamel, making them highly sensitive to temperature changes and pressure.
Tooth Decay or Cavities Cavities expose inner tooth layers, leading to sharp pain or sensitivity when eating or drinking.
✨ At Gautam Dental Care, we provide advanced treatments to reduce sensitivity and protect your teeth for long-term comfort.
