What Causes Sensitive Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can develop sensitive teeth that react painfully to\nair, temperature, or particularly sweet or acidic foods. Common causes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Brushing Too Hard: <\/strong>If you\u2019re too rough with
    your teeth, your toothbrush might wear away the enamel, exposing the softer,
    more sensitive dentin underneath. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Receding Gums:<\/strong> Gum disease can cause the
    tissues protecting the roots of the teeth to pull back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cracked Teeth:<\/strong> A crack can give bacteria
    an opening to enter the tooth and attack the inner pulp. In addition to
    sensitivity, this can also lead to an infection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bruxism:<\/strong> Clenching and grinding your
    teeth at night is hard on your enamel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Long-Term Use of Mouthwash: <\/strong>Certain
    mouthwashes that you can buy over the counter contain acids that can worsen
    tooth sensitivity and damage the dentin layer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Certain Dental Procedures:<\/strong> After a
    professional cleaning, root planing, or a tooth restoration procedure, it\u2019s
    normal to experience some tooth sensitivity for four to six weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Serious Dental Issues:<\/strong> In some cases,
    your toothache will be a side effect of advanced decay or infection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s the Solution for Sensitive Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If your sensitive teeth are the result of a more pressing\noral health issue, said issue will need to be treated. But for patients who\nonly need to treat the sensitivity itself, Vanish XT could be the ultimate\nsolution. This combination of fluoride and other minerals helps seal off the\ntubules in the tooth that connect to its nerves, thus protecting it from\ntemperature changes or other stimuli that might aggravate it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Not only does Vanish XT reduce tooth sensitivity, but it\nalso helps fight against demineralization and acid erosion \u2013 even on the parts\nof the tooth where it wasn\u2019t directly applied. The effects of the treatment\nnormally last about six months or longer, so it\u2019s a good idea to have it done\nduring your regular appointments. It\u2019s a fast, painless procedure that will\nultimately let you enjoy all your favorite foods and beverages again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
