5 Teeth Sensitivity Myths
Do you suffer from regular
sensitivity? Teeth sensitivity is
often misunderstood, but our
dental team can help you find
relief.
We're here to help you
separate the fact from
fiction concerning teeth
sensitivity.
Here are three of the five
myths associated with
teeth sensitivity.
Myth: People’s teeth are
supposed to hurt when they bite
into cold or hot foods. Feelings of
sensitivity when eating hot or
cold foods should not be a typical
experience.
If you suffer from
hypersensitivity, it can
actually be a sign that
something is wrong.
Myth: Desensitizing
toothpastes are not effective
in reducing teeth sensitivity.
Desensitizing toothpastes
include compounds like
potassium nitrate or strontium
chloride that block pain signals
between the surface of your
tooth and the inside nerves.
Prescription strength
toothpastes are also an
option for more severe and
prolonged feelings of
sensitivity.
Myth: Sensitivity never results in tooth
loss. Sensitivity may in fact be a
precursor to tooth loss. Gum
recession can cause sensitivity
among several teeth at the same
time. Untreated gum recession can
lead to tooth loss.
Tooth decay can also cause
sensitivity. When left untreated,
it may lead to an infection in the
gums or jaw and risk spreading
to other areas in the head or
neck.
