sensitive teeth
Temperature-reactive chompers
Sensitive teeth are teeth that react painfully to stimuli like hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks.
The condition typically results from worn enamel or exposed tooth roots, allowing sensations to reach the nerve: I can't drink ice water—sensitive teeth.
Toothpastes marketed for sensitive teeth aim to reduce this discomfort.
