Tooth sensitivity is a condition whereby a person suffers discomfort in the tooth (this discomfort could be as mild as a little twinge or severe discomfort that can last for some hours). Tooth sensitivity, in some cases, can be a symptom for a dental problem.
This condition can occur at any time and can be experienced by many people. This discomfort can be experienced early in life during the early teenage years and old age (over 70 years), but those who have a higher risk of suffering from this condition are people between the ages of 20 and 40. Being a female also increases a person’s risk.
Tooth sensitivity occurs when a person’s dentine is exposed. The dentine is the softer part of the teeth which is covered by a layer called the enamel (the visible part of the teeth). This condition is more likely to occur at the region where the gum and tooth with a thinner layer of enamel meet.
Tooth sensitivity can be caused by the following:
Tooth sensitivity can more likely be felt when a person drinks or eats something cold, when cold air catches the teeth, and sometimes when a person eats or drink something hot. Tooth sensitivity can also be felt by some when they consume sweets or acidic drinks and foods. This pain comes and then disappears and could be mild or severe on different occasions.
We know that tooth sensitivity gets triggered when cold, hot, acidic or sweet drinks and foods is being consumed so avoiding these could be helpful. If you believe your tooth sensitivity gets triggered by brushing your teeth with the cold tap water, then using warm water could make a difference. No matter the severity of the tooth sensitivity, it is important always to brush the teeth on a regular basis as not brushing could worsen the situation.

Tooth sensitivity is best treated after its cause has been known through a proper diagnosis. This diagnosis involves taking a look at your teeth to know the cause of the sensitivity and how best it can be treated. Special de-sensitising products are usually used by a dental team to help the symptoms get better. They can also apply fluoride gels, varnishes or rinses to the affected teeth.
These products are usually applied to the teeth during an appointment with the dentist and are usually applied again after a week or two so that the teeth can have some protection. Several appointments may be needed before the sensitivity can settle. In cases where these products do not offer the help required, the neck of the tooth where the gum meets the tooth may be filled by the dental team so that the dentine can be covered. In severe cases, root-fill may be needed.

Rubbing this toothpaste on the areas with greater sensitivity twice daily can also help bring relief. It usually takes from a few days to several weeks for this toothpaste to become effective. You should find out the type of toothpaste you should use from your dental team.
