Many experience it, but few know why. In today\u2019s post, we\u2019d like to look at the topic of tooth sensitivity<\/b> and explain just a few of the things that can cause it.\r\n\r\nGum Disease\/Gum Recession<\/b>\r\n\r\nOne of the primary causes of tooth sensitivity<\/b> is gum recession, which itself if caused by gum disease. When gum disease isn\u2019t treated, it can cause the gums to recede, exposing more of the tooth and increasing one\u2019s sensitivity to things that are hot or cold. Treating gum disease early, before it has time to become more developed, will help patients prevent gum recession and the sensitivity related to it.\r\n\r\nBrushing Techniques<\/b>\r\n\r\nAre you brushing correctly? If you\u2019re not, that could be what\u2019s causing your tooth sensitivity<\/b>. Brushing aggressively with a hard-bristled brush can harm both your teeth and your gums. If you have questions about how to brush correctly, Dr. Latner<\/a> would be happy to demonstrate the next time you come to our Los Angeles<\/b> dental office.\r\n\r\nTeeth Damaged by Grinding or Clenching <\/b>\r\n\r\nBruxism, a stress-induced condition that involves teeth grinding, can lead to cracked teeth. When that happens, bacteria can get inside the tooth to the nerve, causing tooth sensitivity<\/b>. Clenching<\/b>, biting your teeth extremely hard, can do similar damage as bruxism<\/b> and cause tooth sensitivity<\/b>. An oral appliance can help patients stop teeth grinding and prevent cracks from forming.\r\n\r\nAge<\/b>\r\n\r\nSome patients who are between the ages of 25 and 30 will experience an increase in sensitivity. If you are between these ages and have noticed a change, talk to Dr. Latner<\/b>.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t live with uncomfortable tooth sensitivity<\/b>. Call<\/a> Westside Dental Associates<\/b> today to schedule an appointment with our Los Angeles team<\/a>. We provide care to patients from Santa Monica<\/b>,\u00a0Beverly Hills<\/b>,\u00a0West LA<\/b>,\u00a0Mar Vista<\/b>, and beyond.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s not uncommon for patients of Westside Dental Associates to ask us about tooth sensitivity.
