Sensitive Teeth? Preston Dentist explains..

Sensitive teeth, also known as dentin hypersensitivity, is a common problem that is experienced by over 40% of the UK population at some point in their lives. It is typically a short, sharp pain from exposed dentin in response to stimuli (pressure changes to temperature and electrical changes). The innermost part, the pulp of the tooth, contains all the nerves and blood vessels that keep our tooth alive; the dentin is the second innermost part that encapsulates the pulp-it is also the suspect behind tooth sensitivity. Dentine; the inner layer of the tooth, is the part of the tooth structure that is covering and protecting the nerve endings, when exposed to extremely hot ,cold stimuli, and sweet and sour tastes, it automatically triggers a sudden impulse that make us feel a split-second, sharp pain.

Restore Natural Appearance and Colour of your Teeth with Dental Crowns

Teeth that are decayed, worn down, broken or affected by gum disease may need to be restored by your dentist. The most common type of tooth damage; decay is mainly caused by eating or drinking sugary food and drinks. Damaged tooth tissues can become very painful and also sensitive to different elements such as change of temperature, i.e. Cold / Hot.

When teeth are damaged beyond repair with the traditional restorative techniques (fillings), It is essential to protect them from further injury and also to restore the cosmetic appearance. One of the oldest and most successful ways of protecting teeth is to fit a dental crown over the top. A dental crown is a ceramic or metal and ceramic cap that is designed to fit over the damaged tooth, covering all parts of the tooth above the gum line to act as a barrier.
