Tooth sensitivity can be the consequence of nervous diseases
Tooth sensitivity is the scientific name of “hyperesthesia of tooth enamel” and is divided into generalized when such hypersensitivity is characteristic of more than a quarter of all the teeth, and localized, if their number is less.
For pain with hyperesthesia characterized by a very short duration, no more than 30 seconds, but the pain is very sudden and sharp, like a dagger. Despite the name of the disease, the reason is the increased sensitivity is not tooth enamel, and under her layer of dentin having a large looseness. The enamel is like a shield that resists the aggressive action of various factors to this vulnerable tissue. But if the tooth enamel has become thin, and even more was destroyed, the dentin is no more protection.
However, hypersensitivity develops not only due to the destruction of tooth enamel. The dentinal layer has a thin microtubules that serve to protect the nerve endings. Is to open dentinal tubules as nerve endings are exposed, and to any stimulus the tooth reacts to sharp piercing pain.
To completely eliminate the possibility of pain due to inflammation, be aware that when the inflammation of the:
• pain caused by hot or cold food lasts a long time
• hypersensitivity localized only around one tooth
• even special toothpaste that you used for 2 weeks no effect.
If these symptoms you have, then it is likely inflammation, and you should immediately consult a doctor.
Tooth sensitivity can be the consequence of the nervous and endocrine diseases and disorders of mineral metabolism that occur under specific hormonal conditions (menopause, pregnancy). Therefore, before visiting to the dentist are recommended to visit an endocrinologist. This involves the use of fluorides for the treatment of hyperesthesia, which can adversely affect the thyroid gland.
Suffering from hypersensitivity need to eliminate from your diet all sour and carbonated, because they destroy the tooth enamel.
