If enjoying things like ice cream or hot tea are painful for you because they hurt your teeth, you are not alone in suffering from tooth sensitivity. Sensitive teeth, or dentin hypersensitivity, is a common problem that makes eating hot or cold foods painful for some people.
Dentin hypersensitivity is treatable, but the treatment will depend upon the underlying cause of your tooth sensitivity.
Sensitive teeth is caused by the exposure of the dentin beneath the enamel of your teeth. Without the protection of the enamel, your teeth will become more sensitive to hot and cold because the dentin is made of small tubes or canals that expose extreme temperatures to the nerves in your teeth.
