We propose you to find out the reasons, prerequisites and ways to get rid of this problem.

 There are three stages of hyperesthesia. At first, pain arises because of the temperature stimuli, with the second reaction appears because of chemical pathogens, on the third stage it hurts even after touching the tooth tissue.

If a person’s teeth are vulnerable, a sharp pain usually appears during eating.

 The main causes of hypersensitivity are:

 – Caries, because of which the enamel becomes thinner and there are microcracks in it

 – Exposure of the necks of teeth due to periodontitis

 – Erasing the teeth due to the use of a too stiff brush or improper cleaning of the teeth by too intense movements

 – Erosion of enamel due to the use of products with a high content of acidic substances

 Treatment:

 People with sensitive teeth should pay great attention to personal dental hygiene. You can prefer fluoride-containing mouth conditioners, special toothpastes with a high content of fluoride, which not only are better suited for people with hyperesthesia, but also provide additional protection against caries.

 Any of these or similar remedies for hyperesthesia should be recommended by the dentist, supplementing them with a course of treatment.
