What is Tooth Sensitivity?

Sensitivity is the short, sharp pain experienced when 

eating or drinking something cold, hot, sweet, sour or 

spicy. This is because of exposed dentine – the inner 

core of the tooth surrounding the nerve. This can lead 

to other problems if not treated.

What Causes Sensitive Teeth?

Dentinal hypersensitivity, or tooth sensitivity, is a 

common dental problem. It’s a condition that can develop 

over time, as a result of common problems such as receding 

gums and enamel wear. Most sufferers are between 20 and 50 

years old. Tooth sensitivity can start to happen when the 

softer, inner part of the tooth called ‘dentine’ becomes 

exposed. Dentine lies under the enamel and the gums.

Thousands of microscopic channels run through the dentine 

towards the centre of the tooth. Once the dentine is exposed, 

external triggers (such as a cold drink) can stimulate the 

nerves inside the tooth, resulting in the characteristic 

short, sharp sensation of tooth sensitivity.
