"Does eating frozen yogurt make you say “ouch” — or do you find yourself wincing when you brush or floss? You could have what’s known as tooth sensitivity.
But you don’t have to put up with the pain. In fact, there are things you can do to lessen tooth sensitivity and improve your oral health says Leslie Seldin, DDS, a dentist in New York City and a spokesman for the American Dental Association."
As mentioned in the article some of the top causes are:
- Brushing with too much gusto
- Eating acidic foods
- Grinding your teeth
- Some tooth-whitening toothpastes
- Gum disease
- Excessive plaque
- Having a recent dental procedure
- Cracked tooth
- Decay around edges
- Decay around fillings
