If you hung around our Las Vegas dental office for a few days, you’d see that one of the most common complaints we get from patients is the fact that they have Las Vegas sensitive teeth. Whether the pain in their teeth happens when they drink hot beverages or ice cold beverages, the cause is generally the same.
The pain that is caused by sensitive teeth generally comes from fluid that flows inside the tiny tubes under the enamel layer of your teeth. This layer is called the dentin and it’s where irritation can happen to the nerves of your teeth. Patients who have enamel that is worn down on their teeth may find that those tiny little tubes that are supposed to be within the dentin are now exposed. And that’s just one of the things that can cause sensitivity in teeth.
Another thing that can cause your teeth to become sensitive is acid reflux. If you have chronic acid reflux, the acid in your system may cause sensitivity in your teeth. So be careful to watch the amount of acid you have in your diet if you want to avoid teeth sensitivity.
