McAllen, TX -- (SBWire) -- 05/22/2015 --Having sensitive teeth is one of the most common dental problems experienced by people of all ages all over the world. This global health conditions is brought about by the loss or thinning of the enamel layer or the protective covering of the teeth. When the enamel is lost, there would be greater risks of developing tooth decay or dental caries, the person is also predisposed to pulp inflammation and other serious dental diseases.
With the relevant escalation in the number of people seeking for immediate dental treatments due to this oral health issue, dentists and dental experts are finding effective solutions to rebuild the worn enamel of the teeth; hence the use of new dental technology is put to the test for its effectiveness and efficiency in reducing tooth sensitivity which could last longer than other modern dental treatments.
Dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most upsetting dental problems because of the severe discomforts the patients may experience because of the exposure of the nerve layer of the teeth and the most affected teeth are the canines and the premolars. The pain results from the exaggerated reaction of the body to a stimulus to the exposed dentin and severe cases may already be brought about by pulpal inflammation or irreversible pulpitis; and the pain experienced by the patients is sharp and persistent and because of this, they are forced to seek immediate dental treatments.
Treatments of this dental condition start from the elimination of the etiological or the causative factors such as incorrect brushing techniques, gum recession, poor oral hygiene, generalized attrition, and bacterial exposure. Effective elimination of these predisposing factors that put people at risk for tooth sensitivity would successfully prevent the occurrence and even recurrence of the dental problem.
Improving the dietary intake and reducing intake of foods that causes erosion of the tooth enamel like those that contain exogenous and endogenous dietary acids such as some extremely acidic citrus fruits, carbonated beverages, yoghurt, and wine would also reduce the predisposition to dentin hypersensitivity.
Some dental experts have formulated some toothpaste to relieve the discomforts because of the enamel loss. They have integrated the use of sealants to block the tubules at the area of the exposed dentin. This has been proven to be very effective, but for a very short span of time. The use of toothpaste with sealants is just a temporary solution to the recurrent dental problem.
One of the latest and controversial treatments according to an exceptional Mcallen Dentist in Texas, for this oral health issue is the production of biocompatible materials to restore the eroded and lost tooth enamel. The latest technological advancement in the field of dentistry has already been proven effective in dogs. The procedure involves generation of a "biomimetic crystalline barrier" which is composed of the same exact elements of the tooth which are calcium and phosphorous. This material comes in a form of a paste which is applied to the teeth to form the so-called "biomimetic crystalline barrier" to seal the dentinal tubules as it crystallizes and forms calcium phosphate.
