Dentin hypersensitivity, often called sensitive teeth, is a prevalent dental issue characterized by sharp, transient pain due to exposed dentin responding to thermal, tactile, osmotic, or chemical stimuli. This condition affects many people, impacting their quality of life by limiting dietary choices and causing discomfort during oral hygiene practices.Pain from dentin hypersensitivity typically arises when the protective enamel is worn away or when gum recession exposes the underlying dentin and its microscopic tubules, which connect directly to nerve endings.Contributing factors include aggressive tooth brushing, periodontal disease, acidic dietary intake, and certain dental procedures. Managing this condition effectively involves a combination of preventive measures, such as proper oral hygiene and dietary modifications, along with treatments aimed at desensitizing the nerves or sealing the exposed tubules.Ongoing dental research continues to yield new insights and treatment options for dentin hypersensitivity, promising improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
