What is the main cause of sensitive teeth?!


Question: What is the main cause of sensitive teeth.?
Answers:
Its called dentine hypersensitivity.. The rapid flow of liquids (cold/hot drinks) in dentinal tubules can trigger nerves along the pulpal canal of the dentin causing pain.. This hydrodynamic flow can be increased by cold, air pressure drying, sugar, sour (dehydrating chemicals), or forces acting onto the tooth..

Treatment can consist of Potassium nitrate, Gluma, and Fluoride therapy.. Potassium nitrate is commonly used in toothpastes such as Sensodyne or Crest Sensitive as a remedy.. There is some dispute about its effectiveness..

also, another method is to just drink more milk...... Over time it will have a similar effect....
