“Dentin hypersensitivity” is often the diagnosis when a dental patient complains of experiencing discomfort from the sensations of hot and cold or even sweetness. Sensitivity may be innate or it can be brought on by brushing too vigorously, the habit of grinding or gnashing the teeth together or otherwise weakening the protective quality of the tooth enamel. When that happens the more delicate under layers of the teeth are exposed to these sensations. Talk to your dentist if you suspect that there may be an issue.
