Surely it can not be separated from the role of functioning teeth to chew food, hold also for the benefit of facial muscles aesthetic / appearance of a person's face. Many patients complained to the dentist complaining of tooth ache / pains when drinking cold water, when breathing / in winter or when chewing food, to taste sour / sweet. Complaints that characterize the patient's teeth including sensitive. In some cases, sensitive dental care dentist successfully dealt with quite satisfactory.
Why do teeth become sensitive?
1. From the results of research experts in the USA, as much as 50-90%, patients with large pressure / excess when brushing your teeth. Habit of brushing your teeth with excessive pressure can make the gums become irritated or gum from the neck down teeth, over time the roots of the teeth will be open (gingival recession), neck cavities, the email layer would be reduced in thickness so that when drinking cold water, acid or sweet or even feather touched brush your teeth will ache.
2. Oral hygiene / poor state of oral cavity, the buildup of plaque / tartar, which is the "house" she lived many millions of germs in the oral cavity. Gradually tartar irritate the gums that can also be easily bleeding gums, bad breath also arise that are not "fresh".
3. Formation of tooth enamel coating is less than perfect (ename hypoplasia) can also occur in certain individuals. This situation will make the teeth become sensitive.
4. Food impaction / buildup of food debris in the area meeting with the gear tooth / teeth contacts. Time food is seeping in through the neck of the tooth and difficult to reach toothbrush so it will be difficult to remove, over time the cumulation will more and more, pressing the gum pockets deeper than normal.
Arising pain intermittent or continuously until the cavities arising at a meeting between the teeth. If this condition is left protracted teeth will be more porous and destroyed.
How to prevent sensitive teeth (sensitive teeth)?
To prevent tooth becomes sensitive, the key is to reduce excessive pressure while brushing teeth, using a toothbrush with the type of hair brush is not harsh and brush your teeth the right way.
Most patients who experience the above cases due to wrong brushing habits, namely by providing excessive pressure while brushing your teeth. The hope by giving the excess pressure will be obtained by clean white teeth but obtained is the reduction of gum (recession gigiva) so that the roots of teeth will be seen or even arise at the root of tooth cavities around the neck of the tooth. Habits like brushing your teeth at the top is very difficult to remove by the patient. But whatever the reason these bad habits must be eliminated.
In the above cases it is advisable to use an electric toothbrush (electric tooth brush / plaque remover). In an electric toothbrush there is a "sensor" pressure, which serves to stop the movement of a toothbrush in case of excessive pressure when brush teeth. Or use an electric toothbrush another model that provides warning lights / sound when brushing your teeth too strong.
Efforts to prevent periodontal disease is crucial in place to prevent the things that are not expected to safety tooth and gum tissue. It must be remembered that the recommended duration of rubbing is between 2-3 minutes and reach all tooth surfaces, using a toothbrush are eligible and how to rub the right to use toothpaste to taste.
Most patients brush their teeth less than 45 seconds, it's a very short time to obtain the results of oral hygiene is optimal. By the time a very brief brush of course there are areas not reached by the toothbrush, causing the deposition or accumulation of food debris, so there arose what is called plaque or tartar.
