1/ 10 Exposed dentin
The dentin tissue in the area of the tooth crown is covered with enamel, and in the root part with cement. The destruction of the tooth enamel exposes the dentin and makes it excessively sensitive to irritation.
2/ 10 Sensitive teeth
Exposed dentin reacts with pain which is transmitted through the dentinal tubules to the pulp of the tooth.
3/ 10 Hot drinks
Most often, the teeth become sensitive to thermal stimuli – food or liquids that are too cold or too hot.
4/ 10 Other stimuli
Teeth may become sensitive to mechanical stimuli – touch, when brushing with a toothbrush, drawing air, chemical stimuli – eating acidic or sweet foods or liquids, using spicy spices.

A dentist can apply topical agents: fluoride gels, varnishes, pastes and solutions by rubbing or applying calcium and magnesium preparations to the bare and hypersensitive surface, as well as resins and dentin impregnating agents that block the dentinal tubules.
10/ 10 Home remedies
At home, you can use toothpastes designed for hypersensitive teeth, which effectively eliminate dentin hypersensitivity, in combination with a mouthwash applied once a day. In the case of acute dentine hypersensitivity, it is recommended to use the rinse twice a day.
