Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
Why does ice cream hurt my teeth so much?
Cold treats cause pain because the nerves inside your teeth feel the temperature change through a thin outer layer. A dentist can check if that hard outer shell is too thin or if your gums have pulled away, leaving the bottom parts of your teeth unprotected.
Can I fix sensitive teeth at home?
Using a toothpaste made for sensitivity can help build a protective layer over time. It is a great idea to avoid very acidic drinks, as these are common sources of tooth sensitivity that make the problem worse.
Does gum disease cause teeth to be sensitive?
Yes, because gum issues often lead to receding gums and dental sensitivity, which leaves the roots of your teeth unprotected. Keeping your gums healthy by flossing is an effective way to prevent that type of discomfort.
Will the sensitivity ever go away on its own?
If the pain comes from a recent filling, it might fade as the tooth recovers. However, most cases related to enamel wear and dental sensitivity require a professional to provide a treatment that strengthens the tooth surface.
