Hypersensitivity of the teeth: who is to blame and what to do
From increased sensitivity of the teeth suffersMore than half of the people on our planet. Particularly prone to this misfortune is the beautiful half of humanity. Why does this disease occur and how to cope with the problem?
Many mistakenly believe that increasedsensitivity has tooth enamel. But this is a delusion, since enamel is the most durable tissue in the whole body. The reason lies in the more loose layer, which is under the enamel - dentine. But for some reason, the enamel can become thin, leaving the dentin without protection.
Causes of hypersensitivity of teeth:
Diseases of the endocrine and nervous systems. Be sure to visit a dentist before a visit to the dentist.
- Pregnancy, menopause. Violated by the mineral metabolism in case of hormonal failure in the body. The problem is solved by the intake of dietary supplements and vitamin-mineral complexes.
- Dental problems. Caries, erosion or cracks in the enamel, bruxism (teeth grinding), periodontitis, atrophy of the gums, poor teeth whitening, incorrect bite. Dentists and orthodontists will help in leveling these problems.
Poor oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth is important not only regularly, but also delicately. The brush should move smoothly and vertically, and not horizontally. It is better to start cleaning with long teeth, and not with incisors. It is best to use brushes with soft bristles and special pastes for sensitive teeth.
- Wrong food. Because of this, the tissue of the teeth may be deficient in minerals and vitamins. One of the reasons is vitamin A deficiency, which is found in eggs, carrots, liver. It is necessary to limit the consumption of carbonated drinks and acidic foods. Both hot and cold food are very harmful. After eating, it is important to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth.
Than treat?
The increased sensitivity of teeth dentists treat the coating of micropores of tooth enamel with special lacquers. And also with preparations containing calcium, fluorine, magnesium and phosphorus, which strengthen enamel.
