Dental hyperesthesia is an increased sensitivity of enamel and/or dentin to external stimuli such as cold, heat, acid or touch. It occurs due to thinning of protective dental tissues or exposure of the roots.
Degrees of increased tooth sensitivity
Depending on the manifestation of hyperesthesia, dentists distinguish several stages of this condition:
- Discomfort occurs when exposed to cold or heat, the excitability threshold of dentinal zones is determined from 5 to 8 μA.
- Teeth react not only to heat and cold, but also to chemical agents (sweet, sour, salty), the threshold of dentin excitability is 3-5 μA
- A painful reaction is provoked by any irritants, including normal touching of the tooth; dentin excitability rates vary from 1.5 to 3 μA.
What are the causes of increased tooth sensitivity?
Increased sensitivity of enamel and dentin can develop under the influence of both dental factors and general disorders in the body. Professional diagnostics will help to understand the source of the problem.
Dental causes of hyperesthesia:
- Caries – in this case, sensitivity increases only in the area of one tooth.
- Tooth wear – sensitivity is observed in the area of one or more teeth, sometimes throughout the entire row of teeth, when tooth wear reaches the border of enamel and dentin.
- Gum recession or exposure of the tooth neck due to other reasons.
The development of dental hypersensitivity can also be caused by general diseases:
- pathology of the nervous system – psychotic and neurotic disorders;
- metabolic disorders, in particular, pathological menopause;
- diseases of the digestive system;
- some infectious diseases.
Sometimes hyperesthesia occurs after teeth whitening. Usually this phenomenon is temporary and goes away on its own after a few days.
Diagnosis of dental hyperesthesia
To make an accurate diagnosis if hyperesthesia of teeth is suspected, a comprehensive examination of the oral cavity by a dentist is necessary. The doctor evaluates the condition of the tooth tissue, gums, the presence of caries or cracks, and also conducts special sensitivity tests to determine the severity of the problem and exclude other dental diseases.
Methods of treating hyperesthesia
Depending on the underlying cause, treatment of enamel hypersensitivity may additionally include dietary and lifestyle adjustments. When caring for your daily oral cavity, it is important to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to reduce mechanical impact.
In case of thinned enamel or exposed dentin, effective treatment is provided by filling or restoration. It is equally important to eliminate carious lesions.
In each clinical case, methods for treating enamel hypersensitivity are selected individually depending on the cause of the problem.
How to help yourself before visiting a doctor
Before visiting the dentist, you can temporarily relieve discomfort by using a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth marked “sensitive”, a soft brush and gentle brushing technique. You should also avoid very hot, cold, sour or sweet foods and drinks, refuse whitening products and aggressive rinses.
