Here are 10 habits that lead to sensitive teeth, as reported health.india on Thursday (06.09.12) include:
1. Brushing teeth the wrong way
Brushing
your teeth with a pressure that is too strong or use a fluffy brush to
scrape the enamel harder and make the open dentin. Brush your teeth with a very strong pressure can also cause gum recession and make the tooth root exposed.
Dentin and tooth root that is open will cause tooth sensitivity and pain when eating hot or cold foods.
2. Use mouthwash
Long-term use of mouthwash containing some acid can worsen tooth sensitivity. Talk to your dentist about the use of a neutral fluoride mouthwash if you have dentin sensitivity.
3. Clenching teeth
Clenching teeth (grinding) can mengerupsi enamel and dentin eventually opens.
4. Acid foods
Intake of foods high in acid, such as soft drinks, fruit juice, pickles, and others can cause enamel erosion.
5. Teeth whitening products
Chemicals
such as carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide in tooth whitening
products can penetrate the enamel and dentin into very quickly. Excessive use of whitening products can cause sensitive teeth.
6. Patching gear
The
fillings can be very sensitive to repeated damage or processes that
cause corrosion, erosion and wear acid erosion can cause tooth
sensitivity.
7. Plaque
Plaque on the root surfaces of teeth can cause sensitive teeth.
8. Gum disease (Gingivitis)
Inflamed
gum tissue will cause root surface gugi open so that will be very
susceptible to sweet foods and the temperature hot or cold foods.
9. Cavities
Teeth that are chipped or broken and will expose the dentin tooth decay and cause sensitivity.
10. Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux
Acid
reflux will cause erosion of teeth because saliva and acid that has
been down to the stomach back into the esophagus will rise and fill the
mouth with acid.
Stomach acid can cause a loss of enamel that causes tooth sensitivity.
Chewing on Ice, Even though chewing on ice may seem perfectly harmless, munching on a few hard, frozen cubes could chip or possibly crack a tooth.Teeth Grinding, Technically referred to as bruxism, frequently grinding, whether due to stress or poor sleeping habits, can slowly wear down the health of your teeth. Bruxism can be difficult to control because the habit largely occurs unconsciously.
