Visit your Family Dentist this Winter

by admin

Wondering how visiting your family dentist this winter is being emphasized upon?

The Dentists at RiverRock Dental have the answer to your question.

There is a layer of your teeth that is extremely sensitive to temperature changes. This layer gets exposed when your tooth enamel wears down or the gums recede. Consequently, whenever you eat or drink something hot or cold it touches this part and causes pain. A Similar type of pain can be felt during winters as your teeth contracts in response to the weather.

Cold weather can hurt your teeth as well as causing toothaches or sensitivity in your teeth or nerves. Extreme cold climate makes your teeth contract thus cracking and exposing the layer below the enamel. This layer is called Dentin and forms the core of your teeth between the enamel and the gums. Any problem in your enamel or gums can leave you vulnerable to cold weather pain.

Sensitivity due to the cold weather is unavoidable even if you follow good oral care hygiene. To minimize the effects of cold weather, you must know the causes of sensitivity and how to deal with the related pain. Most importantly, you should visit your family dentist at the earliest.

Reasons for Seasonal Sensitivity from a Dentist’s Desk

Your Dentin gets exposed to sensitivity due to the following reasons-

· Periodontal Disease: The diseases of the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone can expose dentin to sensitivity. The very first phase of the periodontal disease is Gingivitis.

· Brushing too hard: Do you also brush your teeth too hard? To remove the yellowness of your teeth you think brushing hard is the only solution. It’s not, in fact, it can hurt your enamel badly.

· Clenching: The habit of clenching and grinding your teeth while sleeping or being awake causes sensitivity.

· Tooth Decay: A neglected tooth decay problem is often followed by teeth sensitivity in winters. You should immediately visit a dentist near you if you feel pain in your tooth.

· Acidic Beverages: Excessive consumption of beverages containing a high concentration of acid can affect your enamel. Sodas, coffee, juices, and tea can erode your teeth and expose the dentin layer.

How will your Family Dentist Help?

You should see your dentist whenever you feel tooth sensitivity to get the treatment. A dentist will determine which teeth are most sensitive and recommend the best solution for those teeth. If it’s just the beginning, sensitivity toothpaste can be used to get rid of sensitivity. However, if your teeth are extremely sensitive, then an advanced procedure can be used by a dentist to treat you.

One of the following solutions you can expect as your dental treatment-

· Fluoride Application: A dentist may apply fluoride to your sensitive teeth. It is a natural mineral that strengthens the enamel and prevents sensitivity.

· Covering Root Surface: Your dentist may use a sealant to cover the root surfaces of receding gums.

· Mouth Guard: Your dentist can make a mouth guard to prevent you from clenching your teeth. A mouth guard is also effective for jaw pain.

· Root Canal Treatment: In this procedure, the dentist removes the soft pulp from the affected tooth. This is an advanced treatment used to fix serious tooth decay issues.

It is worth visiting your family dentist this coming winter at RiverRock Dental.
