Shooting pain or a tooth sensitive teeth caused by stimulation of nerve endings located in the small tubes that contained in tooth dentin or bone (layer of tooth under the email).
If the layer of missing emails, or open tooth root which causes the small tubes of the den tine is open, then it can happen until the pain sensation of shooting pain when administered excitatory stimuli such as temperature (food or drink hot or cold), touch stimuli, osmotic stimuli (food sweet), and chemical stimuli (acid, chemical drugs tooth whitening).
Rheumatic pain or pain sensation may occur because these stimuli can trigger the movement of fluid in the small tubes in the dentin, the movement of this fluid will stimulate the nerve endings causing a sense of rheumatic pain or pain. Especially for chemical stimuli, these stimuli did not affect the movement of fluid in the dentin tubes but directly stimulates nerve endings teeth.
There are various causes of the tubes in the dentin is open:
1.Disappearance email and cementum layer (the layer covering the root). Can be caused by:
a.Erosion or cavities (due to acid). This can be triggered by poor oral hygiene, food or Minu
man acid, certain diseases or disorders (GERD, Chron’s disease, bulimia, xerostomia), fillings or tooth anatomy is such that causes the retention or attachment of plaque.
b.Atrisi teeth. It is a condition of loss of enamel (the email or den tine) due to friction between the surface of the tooth. Abnormalities found in people with bruxism (teeth grit habit-swipe), and in the elderly (because of the use of teeth that had been going long)
cAbrasion teeth. Loss of enamel (the email, dentin, or cementum) or mechanical damage to teeth. Can result from using a toothbrush that is too harsh a manner that is not correct brushing, use of anti-tartar toothpastes that contain abrasives, maintenance scaling and root planning to remove tartar.
The condition of the roots of teeth that are open also can lead to erosion and abrasion cementum layer. Cementum is a thin layer covering the tooth root surface and highly susceptible to erosion or abrasion.
d.Trauma. Trauma resulting in cracking or rupture of the teeth can also cause open dentin. In addition, a drastic change in tooth
(Eg when eating and drinking with hot and cold temperatures at the same time can also cause cracks in teeth).
2.Adaptation dental fillings that are less good.
3.Dental Care Sometimes bleaching or bleaching, dentine tubes that are open do not cause tooth pains. Because under certain conditions, these tubes can be blocked by debris or organic materials. When performing a bleaching treatment, drugs that are used to dissolve the debris-debris causing dentin tubes is re-opened.
Preventing cavities
To prevent toothache. You perform the following steps:
1.check teeth regularly
Visiting the dentist every 6 months even if you do not feel the toothache. This is necessary for doctors to detect a small hole that occurred in the tooth and can be handled immediately for hole no bigger. It can also detect the tooth that is not flat or grooved cause tooth can be difficult to clean.
2. Brushing your teeth regularly and in a timely manner.
In the morning after breakfast and at night before bed is the perfect time to brush teeth. Saliva is not much out as we sleep, so the teeth will be damaged if you leave food residue on the teeth without a brush. Saliva is useful to protect from bacteria that cause cavities.
3. Mouthwash after meals.
Brushing teeth is not possible after we eat, the best way is to rinse his mouth for the rest of the food is not kept sticking and reducing acidic conditions in the tooth.
4. Use dental floss to remove food residue.
Food scraps left behind, should not be removed by using a toothpick. Use a toothpick can cause a gap between the larger teeth in addition to causing injury to the gums.
