The roots of the teeth are protected by the gums and bone. <\/p>\n<p>When there is enamel wear or if there is gum loss, the dentin is exposed to the factors mentioned above and causing tooth sensitivity. Because dentin is connected to the nerve that is responsible for triggering pain in sensitive teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_5c07cc07\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Sensitive teeth are typically the result of wear and tear on tooth enamel or exposed tooth roots. Sometimes dental discomfort is caused by other factors, such as a cavity, a cracked or chipped tooth, a worn filling, or gum disease. <\/p>\n<p>Dentin is made up of thousands of microscopic tubules, which are called dentin tubules that when in contact with hot, cold, acidic or sugary substances will reach the nerves of the teeth and cause pain.<\/p>\n<p><b>Some factors that can contribute to tooth sensitivity are:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excessive force used during tooth brushing or brushes with very hard bristles. These factors can lead to enamel wear, causing dentin to be exposed or causing gum recession. <\/li>\n<li>People suffering from periodontal disease may suffer from tooth sensitivity because this disease leads to loss of gum and bone causing dentin to be exposed.<\/li>\n<li>The presence of gingivitis (gingival inflammation) can also lead to exposure of the tooth root and consequently tooth sensitivity.<\/li>\n<li>Fractured or cracked teeth can cause inflammation of the nerve zone of the teeth that we call dental pulp and cause sensitivity.<\/li>\n<li>Some mouthwashes, foods or drinks are acidic and can lead to enamel erosion exposing the dentin tubules consequently leading to tooth sensitivity.<\/li>\n<li>After oral hygiene done in the clinic, procedures for placing ceramic crowns or ceramic veneers or even dental restorations can lead to the appearance of tooth sensitivity that usually disappears after four to six weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tooth sensitivity after treatment with ceramics, veneers, or dental restorations<\/h3>\n<p>Some people report the presence of tooth sensitivity after a cavity treatment, application of ceramic veneers or ceramic crowns.<\/p>\n<p>Tooth decay, the necessary wear that is made on the teeth when placing ceramics or the process of cementing the ceramics can lead to irritation of the dental pulp leading to the presence of tooth sensitivity that is temporary.<\/p>\n<p>This sensitivity reduces substantially over the period of 4 to 6 weeks, however it can take up to 3 months for all sensitivity to disappear.<\/p>\n<h3>Tooth sensitivity after teeth whitening<\/h3>\n<p>Tooth whitening leads in some cases to the presence of tooth sensitivity temporarily, especially laser tooth whitening which, because it has faster and more effective aesthetic results, we need higher concentrations of the whitening product and which is activated through the laser.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 10% of patients may have moderate tenderness, and 4% of patients may have severe tenderness for one to two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Patients who experience receding gums are more likely to suffer from tooth sensitivity during teeth whitening treatment.<\/p>\n<p>This sensitivity is due to the product that is applied to the teeth to make the whitening lead to dehydration of the teeth, especially at the level of the dentin tubules and consequently tooth sensitivity. After the period necessary for the rehydration of the teeth, this sensitivity will decrease in a period that can go from 1 to 3 days and until it disappears completely it can take 1 to 2 weeks. <\/p>\n<p>After receiving a teeth whitening treatment, avoid hot or cold foods for a day or two. By following this procedure, you will not be exposed to undue tooth sensitivity. It is also recommended to brush your teeth carefully and use warm water when brushing.  <\/p>\n<h3>Treatment of sensitive teeth<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row us_custom_5c07cc07 via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--gap:3rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cero.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sens2-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cero.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sens2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cero.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sens2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cero.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sens2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cero.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sens2-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cero.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sens2.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>There are several types of treatment available and each professional must adapt the treatment to the type of sensitivity of each patient.

The topical application of this product is very much used in Asia and Europe.
