April 26, 2011 -- Tooth sensitivity, a common problem affecting 1 out of 3 people globally, could soon be treated with greater efficacy and long term impact thanks to the latest advances in medical technology, revealed GlaxoSmithKline, a leading manufacturer of toothpaste including desensitizing product Sesnsodyne. According to the company, most of the solutions available today focused on providing relief from dentine hypersensitivity, but new advancements in research and technology imply that future products formulated to treat this condition can also ‘repair’ the sensitive teeth.
People develop sensitive teeth when the soft, inner core of the teeth, becomes exposed. This can happen due to factors such as abrasion from tooth-brushing, acid erosion which dissolves the enamel or tooth grinding that causes the enamel to be worn away leading to sensitivity. Once exposed, changes in temperature brought on by hot and cold foods and drinks cause the fluid in the tiny exposed pores to expand and contract. This process can irritate the nerve and bring on the pain and discomfort of sensitive teeth.
