Causes for Tooth Sensitivity Gilbert, AZ

Exposure of the dentin of a tooth is what makes a tooth feel sensitive. This could be due to a number of factors. Some of the most common reasons are:

1. Gum Recession- this comes from age or improper brushing.
2. Acidic Beverage (such as soda) that cause enamel erosion and exposure of dentin.
3. Tooth grinding- this may cause most or all of your teeth to feel sensitive.
4. Brushing with abrasive toothpaste, brushing incorrectly and brushing more than three times a day could result in the loss of enamel.
5. Gum disease
6. A chipped or fractured tooth

Dental treatments such as, teeth whitening, dental cleanings, having braces or getting a filling placed can also cause sensitivity during or after the visit.
