Do You Suffer From Tooth Sensitivity?

Do you get twinges when you eat or drink certain foods?  Is your sensitivity a daily problem or perhaps just an occasional annoyance? Chances are you have "dentin hypersensitivity," another name for sensitive teeth.

Sensitivity is a common dental problem. It's not a disease, but rather a condition that develops over time due to common factors such as receding gums, over vigorous tooth brushing and tooth grinding. Most sufferers are between 20 and 50 years old.

As many as 38% of adults regularly suffer from painful teeth due to sensitivity, some more frequently than others.
