Tooth Sensitivity: Causes, Treatment & Best Remedies
Do you feel sharp pain in your teeth when eating cold, hot, or sweet foods? Tooth sensitivity is a common problem affecting many people, making daily activities like drinking coffee or eating ice cream uncomfortable. At Dharahara Dental, we provide expert solutions to help you overcome tooth sensitivity and protect your smile.
🦷 What is Tooth Sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity, or dentin hypersensitivity, occurs when the protective enamel layer of your teeth wears down, exposing the underlying dentin and nerve endings. This makes your teeth more sensitive to temperature changes and certain foods.
🔍 Common Causes of Tooth Sensitivity
- Enamel Erosion: Caused by acidic foods, carbonated drinks, or excessive brushing.
- Gum Recession: Exposes the roots of teeth, which lack enamel protection.
- Tooth Decay & Cavities: Damage to teeth can increase sensitivity.
- Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Exposed dentin and nerves lead to discomfort.
- Brushing Too Hard: Using a hard-bristled toothbrush or aggressive brushing can wear down enamel.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Weakens enamel and causes sensitivity.
- Whitening Products & Acidic Mouthwashes: Harsh chemicals can strip away enamel protection.
⚡ Symptoms of Tooth Sensitivity
- Sharp pain when consuming hot, cold, or sugary foods
- Discomfort when brushing or flossing
- Temporary or lingering sensitivity
- Pain when exposed to cold air
🛑 How to Reduce and Treat Tooth Sensitivity
✔️ 1. Use Nano-Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste (Available at Dharahara Dental)
Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) toothpaste is a scientifically proven solution for repairing enamel and reducing sensitivity. Unlike fluoride, it actively integrates into the enamel, sealing exposed dentin and protecting nerve endings.

✔️ 2. Switch to a Soft-Bristled Toothbrush
Using a soft-bristled toothbrush prevents further enamel erosion and reduces irritation to sensitive teeth.
✔️ 3. Avoid Acidic & Sugary Foods
Limit sodas, citrus fruits, and sweets, which weaken enamel and worsen sensitivity.
✔️ 4. Use a Desensitizing Mouthwash
Alcohol-free mouthwashes with potassium nitrate help reduce pain and strengthen enamel.
✔️ 5. Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene
Brushing twice a day and flossing regularly removes plaque and prevents gum recession.
✔️ 6. Consider a Fluoride or Dental Sealant Treatment
Professional fluoride applications and dental sealants at Dharahara Dental can provide additional enamel protection.
