Do you know that sharp, irritating sting you feel when you take a sip of a cold beverage 🧊 or spoon a hot soup? This condition is nothing other than tooth sensitivity that affects millions of people.

So, why do these stings occur, and is it possible to get rid of them permanently? As PYS Dent clinic, in this article, we will examine the causes of sensitive teeth and explain the personalized sensitivity treatment methods in detail.

🔬 Why Does Tooth Sensitivity Occur?

Our teeth are covered on the outside by enamel, a strong protective layer. However, beneath this enamel layer is a layer called dentin, which contains thousands of tiny channels (tubules). These channels lead directly to the nerve endings in the center of the tooth.

Tooth sensitivity begins when the protective enamel layer wears down or the gums recede, exposing the dentin surface. External stimuli such as cold, heat, or acidic substances travel through these open channels to the nerve, causing an instant pain (stinging).

The Most Common Causes Triggering Sensitivity:

• Improper Brushing: Brushing too hard wears down tooth enamel and causes gum recession. 🦷

• Gum Diseases: Gingivitis and periodontitis lead to the gums pulling back and exposing the root surfaces.

• Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Clenching or grinding teeth at night causes cracks in the teeth, increasing sensitivity. 😬

• Acidic Foods/Beverages: Acidic foods (soda, carbonated drinks, citrus fruits) chemically dissolve the enamel. 🍋

• Tooth Decay and Old Fillings: Early-stage tooth decay or leaky old dental fillings can cause sensitivity.

👨‍⚕️ Permanent Solutions Applied at the Dentist (With PYS Dent Assurance)

When home remedies are insufficient, professional help is essential to determine the underlying cause and apply a permanent sensitivity treatment.

Effective Treatment Methods Applied at PYS Dent Kayseri Clinic for our patients' sensitive teeth issues:

1. Professional Desensitizing Agents: Specialized fluoride varnishes or desensitizing bonding agents applied at our clinic instantly seal the exposed dentin channels. 🛡️

2. Root Surface Covering (Bonding): Root surfaces exposed due to gum recession are permanently covered with tooth-colored filling materials (bonding).

3. Night Guard Treatment: If your sensitivity is due to extreme pressure from bruxism, a custom night guard is prepared under the expertise of PYS Dent.

4. Gum Grafting: In severe cases of gum recession, surgical methods are used to restore the gum level and permanently cover the exposed root surface.

5. Root Canal Treatment: Rarely, if sensitivity has advanced enough to permanently damage the nerve, root canal treatment may be necessary. 💉
