About Tooth Sensitivity in Mumbai
Tooth sensitivity, also known as dentin hypersensitivity, is a common condition characterized by sharp, temporary pain in one or more teeth in response to specific triggers such as hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks, or cold air. It occurs when the protective enamel covering the tooth crown or the cementum covering the root becomes worn or recedes, exposing the underlying dentin layer, which contains microscopic tubules connecting directly to the tooth's nerve. When these exposed tubules are stimulated by temperature or pressure changes, fluid movement within them triggers a rapid nerve response perceived as sharp pain. It can range from a mild occasional annoyance to a persistent problem that interferes with eating and drinking.
