Sensitive Gums

The sensitive gums is a common condition characterized by pain or discomfort in the gums, especially when brushing, eating or exposure to hot or cold foods and drinks. It is a sensitivity that can be due to various factors, such as:
-
Receding gums: As the gums recede, exposed more than the tree of the tooth, including the root, which is more sensitive.
-
Abrasion of the enamel: Abrasion of enamel can cause sensitivity by exposing the underlying dentinal tubules.
-
Dental erosion: Enamel erosion from acidic foods and drinks can also cause sensitivity.
-
Dental disease: Periodontal disease can lead to gum inflammation and sensitivity.
Symptoms
Symptoms of sensitive gums may include:
-
Pain or discomfort in the gums when brushing, eating or exposure to hot or cold foods and drinks
-
Burning sensation in the gums
-
Bleeding gums
-
Difficulty chewing certain foods
Treatment
Treatment of sensitive gums depends on the underlying cause. We can use:
-
Toothpaste for sensitive gums: These toothpastes contain ingredients that help unclog the dentinal tubules and relieve pain.
The most common ingredients include:
- Potassium nitrate: Reduces the sensitivity of the nerves in the teeth and gums.
- Sodium fluoride: Protects against tooth decay and strengthens enamel.
- Strontium chloride: Closes the small pores on the dentin surface, reducing sensitivity.
- Tin hydroxide: Fights bacteria and protects gums.
- Vitamin E: It has antioxidant properties and helps with gum health.
- Pyrophosphates: They prevent the accumulation of plaque and the appearance of gingivitis.
- Allantoin: Soothes irritations and helps heal gums.
These ingredients work together to reduce sensitivity, protect against plaque and maintain healthy gums.
-
Fluorine: Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and protect teeth from tooth decay.
-
Dental veneer: In cases where sensitivity is due to exposed roots, the dentist may apply a special liner to protect the area.
-
Periodontal treatment: If sensitivity is due to periodontal disease, more extensive treatment may be needed.
Prevention
To prevent sensitive gums, we can follow these tips:
- We brush our teeth correctly and regularly: We use a soft toothbrush and brush our teeth at least twice a day.
- We floss daily: Flossing helps remove plaque and food stuck between the teeth.
- We limit the consumption of acidic foods and drinks: Acidic foods and drinks can erode tooth enamel.
- We visit our dentist regularly: Regular dental exams can help diagnose and treat gum problems early.
