What is tooth sensitivity?
Hyperesthesia or otherwise tooth sensitivity is a problem that many face. It consists in the fact that in contact with a tooth stimulus acute pain occursas a rule, short-term. At the same time, the tooth itself can be completely healthy.
Irritants with increased sensitivity can be:
- the effects of temperature, both cold and hot;
- mechanical impact;
- hitting a tooth is sweet or sour.
The root cause of the problem lies in the very structure of the tooth: under the layer of enamel is the dentin tissue, which contains the tubules with fluid and nerve endings. If the enamel is thinned, then when the stimulus hits the nerve endings and there is a painful attack.
Effectively deal with the problem will help special dental tools - desensitizing, having as part of salts of strontium, potassium or fluorinethat penetrate the tubules, surrounding the sensory nerves, reducing sensitivity.
Causes of the problem
-
Tooth diseases: erosion of enamel, caries. - Calcium is washed from the surface of the enamel.
- Increased erasability of enamel.
- Regular use of whitening pastes or professional whitening too frequent.
- Malocclusion.
In addition, enamel hypersensitivity may cause use of acid productswashing out minerals from a tooth. These are citrus fruits (oranges and lemons) and juice from them, wines, carbonated drinks. It is better to refuse them.

After professional and home teeth whitening, she got a completely unpleasant result - the enamel became thin, and hypersensitivity appeared. It became absolutely impossible neither to smoke on the street, nor to drink a glass of scalding coffee. And at my work without coffee and cigarettes you will perish.
I decided to buy pasta of a slightly higher price category than usual - Lakalut Extra Sensitive. And I was pleased. The noticeable result was noticed after a week, while the whiteness with such difficulty was not lost, the teeth were smooth and clean, but the sensitivity was dulled. Now, if you accidentally get a piece of candy on a tooth, I don’t get sick of the pain.
Toothpaste Extra Sensitive Lacalut really helps. My sensitive teeth literally after the first days of reception began to respond more adequately to the effects of cold and hot dishes. And each time the effect is more and more noticeable.
For the first time I used Lakalut Sensitive paste on the advice of a dentist. And he was quite pleased: the price is low by modern standards, and the quality is more than decent.It helps to reduce the sensitivity of enamel, while it is well enough cleans it from plaque, very pleasant unobtrusive taste. We now use the whole family.
