Sensitive Teeth

Do you get a sharp pain when you eat or drink something hot or cold? Or when you breathe in chilly air? If so, you could be dealing with sensitive teeth. This often happens when your gums start to pull back from the teeth or if gum tissue wears away — sometimes from brushing too hard or not keeping up with regular brushing and flossing. The pain comes from the tooth root becoming exposed, where the nerve endings live, and these are directly linked to your brain — making your teeth react more strongly to changes in temperature.
