Applied Desensitizing Materials
Patients can have teeth that are very sensitive to hot or cold temperatures. This can be the result of gingival (gum) recession due to heavy tooth brushing or periodontal disease. During recession, the root of the tooth can become exposed and small pores on the root surface can transmit thermal energy to the interior of the tooth and result in pain. In dentistry, we call this dentin hypersensitivity.
