Hot, cold, sweet or acidic food and drink or breathing in cold air may be some of the things that increase sensitivity of your teeth.\r\n\r\nThe most common cause of tooth sensitivity is gum recession, where the gums have shrunk away at the neck of the tooth, exposing the root surface. The root surface is not covered by the hard outer tooth coating, enamel, and when the underlying dentine is exposed to stimuli e.g. cold, a sharp pain is experienced. It usually is relieved by removing the stimulus - e.g. avoiding ice cold drinks.\r\n\r\nSensitive toothpaste helps create a barrier between the sensitive dentine and the stimuli that is painful.
