We all have faced that feeling of sensitivity in our teeth. When we eat hot, cold or sweet foods we tend to have a sensation running down our teeth. You can go to your dentist to get it treated or even treat it yourself at home.

What really causes your teeth to become sensitive?

Enamel is a white and hard substance that protects our teeth. When the enamel wears down or becomes thin, the tubules get exposed to outside surface.  So hot and cold substances directly affect the nerves and stimulate them. Hence, you feel a sharp sensation of sensitivity.

Some reasons why enamel wears down are excess acid foods, tooth decay, teeth grinding etc.
