When biting hard objects, rinsing with cold water or even blowing cool wind in life, there will be obvious soreness and pain in teeth, which is a symptom of tooth sensitivity. Now let me introduce the main causes of soft teeth. I hope I can help you.
Causes of soft teeth
1. Cracked teeth
It refers to the small and undetectable cracks on the surface of the crown. Cracked teeth can be caused by internal causes of tooth structure and external causes such as excessive chewing force. Prone to molars. Cracked teeth have no symptoms in the early stage of cracked teeth. With the deepening of the crack and involving the dental pulp, it will cause tooth soreness and bite pain. There will be spontaneous pain only when the dental pulp is infected. Finally, tooth splitting and loss of teeth can occur.
2. Dental caries
If you have dental caries, you will feel sour and soft when brushing your teeth, drinking hot water and chewing food. Then it means that the caries has developed to a medium depth. When the caries develops to a depth close to the dental pulp, the sensitive symptoms will be obvious, and even the pain will appear under the stimulation of cold and heat.
3. Tooth wedge defect
Due to the wrong brushing method, the tooth neck is mechanically damaged, resulting in defects and exposure of the dentin layer. It is easy to be stimulated by external stimuli, especially when the temperature difference between cold and hot changes. It should be noted that when spontaneous pain occurs, it means that the injury has developed to a deep place close to the pulp, causing pulpitis.
4. Dentin hypersensitivity
Due to the exposure of the second layer of dentin and the sensitive symptoms caused by the opening of dentin tubules, there is no spontaneous pain. It is particularly sensitive to temperature changes and the stimulation of chewing and occlusion. Multiple teeth can appear at the same time.
5. Periodontal disease
When periodontitis develops to the middle and late stage, due to alveolar bone absorption, gingival atrophy occurs and the root surface is exposed. The root surface that has lost its protective effect is prone to sensitive symptoms under the stimulation of cold and hot temperature. It is also characterized by multiple teeth or feeling the neck of full mouth teeth is sour and soft. When teeth bite, they will feel obvious weakness.
6. Gastric acid reflux dental hypersensitivity
Digestive tract diseases can also cause tooth soreness. This is because the reflux gastric acid of patients with gastric acid reflux esophagitis corrodes the teeth in the mouth and causes decalcification on the tooth surface, so that the teeth are very sensitive to external stimuli.
7. Anxiety tooth sensitivity
Can anxiety disorder also lead to tooth sensitivity? It may sound a little incredible. Some patients with anxiety disorder always feel that the teeth in their mouth are sensitive and sour and soft. In fact, they go to the hospital and find no sour and soft sick teeth. At this time, anti anxiety drugs need to be used to treat anxiety disorder, and tooth sensitivity will be reduced with the reduction of anxiety disorder.
8. Tooth sensitivity during menstruation
Tooth sensitivity during menstruation: common in young women. It may be related to the effect of hormone level changes on oral environment during menstruation, or mental anxiety during menstruation.
Treatment of soft teeth
1. If there is dental caries, it means that the teeth are rotten. You must go to the dental hospital for extraction in time before they deteriorate.
2. If you usually have bleeding when brushing your teeth and your gums are very red when looking in the mirror, it is mostly periodontitis. You can go to the hospital for examination. If periodontitis, you need corresponding periodontal treatment, otherwise your teeth will fall off very early.
3. Brush and gargle your teeth correctly every day. You can choose soft toothpaste to reduce the friction on your teeth.
4. Avoid eating cold, hot, sour, sweet and spicy food during tooth pain:
5. Supplement vitamin C. you can eat more fruits rich in vitamin C in your life, such as Kiwi fruit and sweet orange, which can well treat the symptoms of gum bleeding and sore.
6. Pay attention to oral hygiene. When choosing toothpaste, you can use anti allergy toothpaste to brush your teeth, or lengsuanling toothpaste to protect the sour and soft teeth.
7. Chewing tea carefully can improve the softness of teeth, because tea contains a lot of fluorine and tea polyphenols, in which fluorine can increase the acid resistance of teeth, and tea polyphenols have the effect of sterilization and disinfection.
Solutions to tooth allergy
1. Basically, keep your teeth clean. Dental plaque is a white colloidal substance on the teeth, which will produce acidic substances to stimulate the teeth, especially when the teeth are naturally sensitive. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, preferably after meals or before going to bed, and floss at least once a day. These methods can resist dental plaque.
2. Reduce tooth wear and enhance tooth hardness. In order to reduce the wear of teeth, first, try to bite hard food as little as possible. For example, you can't bite small walnuts and crabs with your teeth, and you can't open the beer bottle cap with your teeth.
3. For tooth allergy, you can chew garlic or wipe the allergic area with fresh garlic, or chew walnut kernel and tea, which have a certain desensitization effect. Because the main component of walnut kernel is glyceryl linoleate, which can achieve desensitization effect, while tea is rich in tea polyphenols and fluorine, which can be closely combined with calcium in teeth, enhance the acid resistance of enamel and increase the protective layer of teeth.
4. Use a soft toothbrush. Usually, people will damage the protective enamel due to excessive force when brushing their teeth or using a hard bristled toothbrush. As the gums shrink, the exposed dentin is more vulnerable to the wear of the toothbrush. Softer brushing can also make the toothbrush move more freely, and the brushing effect is better.
5. For tooth allergy, it is recommended to brush teeth with targeted desensitization toothpaste to improve the wear resistance of teeth. Desensitization toothpaste should be used twice a day, and long-term use has a certain curative effect.
6. Don't stimulate your teeth. The teeth are very hard, but the gums and dental nerves are very weak, so you must not eat too cold, too hot or too sour when eating. Especially when eating hot pot, don't wear ice drinks or ice beer. You may feel great between cold and heat, but your teeth really can't afford it! It's better not to eat fruits like lemon directly. It's OK to squeeze a little in drinks or dishes for seasoning.
