LACURA Sensitive plus
Sensitivity occurs when the enamel is damaged, thinned or eroded, leaving the underlying dentin exposed. While enamel is hard and durable, dentin is more vulnerable. It is a porous material, covered with tiny, fluid-filled tubules that transmit sensory information back to the tooth's pulp, a nerve-rich area within the tooth. Without the usual protection of the enamel, the dentin is exposed to hot and cold liquids, air, extremely sweet foods and other stimuli. This increased exposure leads to more signals passing into the tooth pulp, creating a higher level of sensitivity. Here is some of the main causes of tooth sensitivity: Tooth decay, Enamel damage or erosion, Gum recession due to gum disease & Exposure of the root surface.
Enamel can suffer damage due to decay or trauma, but gradual erosion is more common. If your enamel is naturally thin, you're more likely to see it erode over time. Even normal enamel, however, can be worn down due to a stiff toothbrush, abrasive toothpaste or an abundance of acidic foods such as citrus fruits and sour candies. When enamel erodes far enough to expose the dentin, sensitivity sets in. Recession of the gums due to infection can leave the roots of your teeth exposed. The roots are meant to be protected by the gums and other connective tissue. When they are exposed, direct contact with food, drink and even cold air can cause intense discomfort.
