Cracked teeth and worn-out fillings
These are also causes of teeth sensitivity due to the crack on the surface of a tooth or teeth that reach down to the root and sometimes the gum line. When hot and cold temperatures come in contact with cracked teeth, that makes a person experience sharp pain.
Receding gums
The receding of the gums happens naturally due to age and when it does, it exposes the roots of the teeth. Since these do not have any protective layer, it will be a cause of tooth sensitivity.
Gum disease
Gum disease is caused by tartar or plaque build-up and when it is not treated right away it will wear out the bony support of the teeth and eventually, the teeth will develop pockets around the teeth and cause teeth sensitivity.
Teeth Whitening
People who undergo the bleaching of their teeth may feel temporary pain and teeth sensitivity. When it comes to how to fix sensitive teeth, you may want to seek other gentler means of lightening your smile.
