Why Do my teeth get hurts when I take cold or hot beverages or drinks?

What causes sensitive teeth?

When you visit our dental office for tooth sensitivity treatment, the first step will be determining the underlying cause of dental sensitivity. While the exact habit or experience that leads to dental sensitivity will vary from person to person, the underlying causes are typically the same. Each tooth is made up of three layers. The hard, outer layer called the enamel is the tooth’s defense system, protecting the softer, inner layers of teeth. Immediately below the enamel is the dentin, a tooth layer that contains a number of microscopic tubes that lead into the innermost layer of the tooth called the pulp. The nerve system of the tooth is housed within the pulp. Normally, dentin is protected by healthy gums and enamel, but when the dentin is exposed, microscopic holes in the dentin called tubules are irritated. Tubules are connected directly to the tooth nerve and the irritation caused by hot and cold temperatures is what causes tooth sensitivity and pain. Dental sensitivity to a temperature typically occurs when cells within the dentin layers of teeth or the tooth’s nerve are stimulated by the hot or cold beverage.
