Those people who suffer pain from sensitive teeth are not able to consume neither cold and hot beverages nor soups and ice-creams.

Tooth decay is the main cause for sensitive teeth. The pain will increase as the decay gets deeper. It can be very sharp and painful when the decay involves the nerve of the tooth.

Tooth decay is caused by faulty cleaning and brushing of gums and teeth. Add to this, the consumption of acidic or aerated liquids can increase teeth sensitivity.

The treatment for sensitive teeth can be implemented by the restoration of teeth enamel. In addition, by the use of anti-sensitivity gels or pastes that contain calcium and phosphates.
