Teeth sensitivity is generally triggered by something that irritates the sensitive dentin layer beneath your enamel. Triggers can include:&nbsp;<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Cold and hot food or drinks&nbsp;<\/li>    <li>Breathing in cold air<\/li>    <li>Acidic or sugary food or drinks&nbsp;<\/li>    <li>Teeth whitening treatments<\/li>    <li>Some kinds of toothpaste and mouthwash (strong minty flavours)<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Having sensitive teeth can mean anything from having pain or discomfort in just one tooth or many, it can be a sharp short pain, or a dull ache that lasts for weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If your pain or discomfort is severe or lasts weeks on end, then it is advisable to see your dentist so they can make sure you don\u2019t have any underlying issues that need addressing.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-causes-my-teeth-to-be-sensitive-to-heat\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What causes my teeth to be sensitive to heat?<\/h2>    <p>Now that you know what triggers sensitive teeth, let\u2019s discuss why they can get close enough to the sensitive nerves beneath your enamel to cause you pain and discomfort. Not everyone has sensitive teeth, so what causes teeth to be sensitive to heat?&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Generally, sensitive teeth are caused by thinning or damaged enamel, exposed tooth roots or dental work. This is because your enamel (the top layer of your teeth) protects the sensitive dentin layer below.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>When your enamel is compromised somehow, it allows potential triggers of sensitivity to reach the dentin layer. Tooth decay is one of the main culprits because it weakens the enamel and causes cavities to form.&nbsp;<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"sensitive teeth hot drinks\" class=\"wp-image-4487\" style=\"width:300px;height:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Depositphotos_27770877_m-2015.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Underneath your enamel are the more sensitive parts of your teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Cavities are essentially a hole in the top layer of your tooth that lead straight to the dentin layer below. Now if you imagine drinking a hot cup of coffee, that heat is going to feel a lot hotter where that cavity is allowing access to the sensitive area.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>There are other causes of tooth sensitivity, but they all result in a sensitive part of your teeth being more exposed than a tooth with strong enamel and healthy gums. Some of these causes include:&nbsp;<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/sensitive-teeth\/sensitive-teeth-pregnancy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"30307\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pregnancy hormones<\/a><\/li>    <li>Gum recession&nbsp;<\/li>    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/sensitive-teeth\/teeth-sensitive-after-filling\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"29967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dental fillings<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>    <li>Teeth whitening treatments&nbsp;<\/li>    <li>Dental work like veneers<\/li>    <li>Teeth grinding<\/li>    <li>Brushing too hard<\/li>    <li>Consuming acidic foods (enamel erosion)<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Sometimes you may have a sensitive tooth or teeth directly after dental work, which may just be temporary while you recover.
