Dental hypersensitivity produces excruciating pain to a stimulus such as cold or heat, to get ice cream, drinking coffee, brushing himself, a food acid or other causes.

Dental hypersensitivity produces excruciating pain to a stimulus such as cold or heat, to get ice cream, drinking coffee, brushing himself, a food acid or other causes.

This hypersensitivity is caused by the tooth has a kind of pipe has a liquid into and contact with the outside world, experiencing a change in temperature, the liquid expands or contracts resulting in severe pain. For practical purposes it is produced by a cavity that destroys the enamel, or periodontitis, since the root of the tooth is in contact with the outside. Read the rest of this entry »

The most usual treatment is the use of blockers exposed dentinal tubules (ferric oxalate and strontium chloride and strontium fluoride and some soda) to remove sensitivity. Blockers are also placed in the area such as mechanical, resin, compomer, or other products that release fluoride, providing function and aesthetics.

Among the main causes that can trigger hypersensitive dental are dental fractures and microfractures, which expose them to the dentinal tubules (tiny tubes that form the structure of the teeth) responsible for carrying sensation to the teeth.

Among the most effective ways to combat dental hypersensitivity include toothpastes for sensitive teeth, causing them obliteration of dentinal tubules in a short period of time, thereby decreasing the dental hypersensitivity. There are also specialized for dental desensitizing being applied by the dentist in the dental office. Read the rest of this entry »

This is a condition that affects everyone at some point in their lives, this talk reflects the most interesting aspects of its etiology, and the mechanism by which it occurs.

The dental hypersensitivity is a sharp, brief pain sensation in response to various stimuli. These stimuli can be thermal (hot food or cold drinks), chemical (acids or sweet) or mechanisms (brushing, etc.).

It is estimated that one in four adults suffer from dental hypersensitivity, this affects patients between 25 and 45. However, there are certain risk groups: people who brushed their teeth vigorously, patients with gingival recession, those undergoing periodontal treatment, bulimic individuals with xerostomia, patients with severe malocclusion causing periodontal problems or abnormal exposure necks teeth.

“I hurt my mouth when I drink something cold.” Hypersensitivity in dentistry. What is it? How is it treated?

Now that summer comes, we all want to drink something cold, but many people are deprived of ice cream or a refreshing drink because they feel a painful sensation whenever you take something fresh.

It manifests as a localized sensation of pain (mild or sharp), especially when drink hot, cold, sweet or sour, this is what is called dentin hypersensitivity. This is a relatively common problem in dental practice consultation, is due to some disease, vigorous brushing, etc.., Gums recede exposing the cement and / or dentine (inner layer of the tooth) and teeth become more sensitive.

Thus, the usual lack of protection of the dentin allows different stimuli – such as heat, cold, or acidic foods or sweet-stimulate nerve endings inside the tooth and cause the sensation of pain. Why does this happen? The situation has many causes, such as wear of tooth enamel, periodontal diseases (such as gingivitis) that produce a receding gums, and even tooth whitening treatment.
