Needless to say, toothache is hell.It is clear that if the teeth are started before the carious stains turned into gaping holes, worse, the pulpitis developed and, so to speak, the "expected" reaction in the form of a piercing pain - there's nothing to say, is it to blame? and without emergency dentist can not do.
But when you seem to look healthy teeth,there is no tooth decay, and literally everything - whether it's eating hot or cold food, or even just an elementary hygienic procedure, such as everyday teeth cleaning, causes discomfort and painful feelings, it already shows that you most likely developed hyperesthesia or hypersensitivity of teeth.
What causes hyperesthesia?
There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Let's list some:
- loss of the hard part of the tooth (enamel and dentin), most often at the tooth's neck - the so-called wedge-shaped defect;
- Functional insufficiency of enamel;
- Parodontosis;
- abnormal abrasion of tooth enamel along the cutting edge of teeth and chewing tubercles;
- bruxism or uncontrolled tightening of the teeth during sleep (they also say "teeth grinding"), which also leads to a pathological abrasion of the enamel;
- some endocrine disorders;
- preparation of teeth for a crown or a procedure for removing tartar;
- improper nutrition, and much more.
What to do if the teeth react to everything, how to reduce the sensitivity of the teeth?
Of course, if you regularly visitdentist for preventive purposes, and on another visit you will complain about the increased sensitivity of the teeth - the treatment will necessarily be picked up with adequate, using special pastes and fluorolacs, and also physiotherapy procedures will be prescribed.
If you are not a frequent guest at the dentist (and this is already a big minus), then first use at least a few simple tips:
While brushing your teeth, use a soft-bristled brush to avoid hurting sensitive areas of your teeth.
Toothpaste buy with the label "forsensitive teeth "(in particular," Sensitiv "toothpaste proved to be very good in this respect) and pay attention to the toothpaste composition - there must necessarily be such elements as fluoride, phosphorus, calcium.
Do not choose whitening pastes containing acids and abrasives during the exacerbation period.
Also, do not abuse pastas,which include such antiseptics as triclosan and chlorhexidine - they are not designed for long-term use and they can be used no more than 3 weeks in a row.
The very procedure of cleaning your teeth should be gentle -cautious movements up and down parallel to the axis of the tooth (this is with closed teeth), and from the inside (from the side of the tongue) do as if sweeping movements. On chewing surfaces also do cleaning effortlessly.
While finding out the reason for the originhypersensitivity of teeth, try to eat not too cold and not too hot dishes and drinks, minimize sweet soda from the refrigerator, or do not use them at all.
It is recommended to choose products containingphosphorus and fluorine (nuts, fish, liver), and be sure to include milk, cottage cheese and cheese in your diet, since they are the ones that make up the deficiency of calcium in the body.
If possible, limit or completely exclude acidic products that destroy enamel, and drink citrus juices only through a straw.
It is worth noting that in some cases the bodybegins to independently produce replacement dentin, and the pain then may eventually disappear by itself. But if a disease is found, one way or another connected with a more serious loss of hard tooth tissues, then there is no place to go - a visit to the dentist cannot be avoided.
