If you suffer from sensitive teeth, your dentist will most likely inform you that you’re not alone.
In fact, it’s thought that around 45 percent of Australian households have at least one person with sensitive teeth.
While there’s no defining reason why one person would have sensitive teeth and another wouldn’t, it’s a pain that occurs when you eat something cold, hot, or acidic, or even when you encounter cold temperatures outside as well.
The primary cause of sensitive teeth is exposed dentin – a part of your tooth connected to nerves that trigger pain and sensitivity.
