Teeth sensitive to sugar: adopt the right gestures!

1. How does sugar damage teeth and enamel?

2. What are the remedies for sensitive teeth?

3. Why choose a MyVariations toothbrush?


Tooth hypersensitivity is one of the most uncomfortable disorders affecting the teeth. This pathology is manifested by the sensitivity of the teeth to sugar, pain in contact with cold and hot and many foods. 🍕

Thus, as soon as they come into contact with these sweet products, pain in the gums or on the whole of the teeth occurs. To make the teeth less sensitive, there are different solutions . Before opting for a treatment, it is essential to know the causes of such a problem.

This is where advice from a dentist or other dental professional comes in handy. Find the right steps to make your teeth less sensitive to sugar in this article. 😉

How does sugar damage teeth and enamel?

According to WHO information, sugars naturally present in fruits and vegetables differ from free sugars. Moreover, no scientific evidence attests to the harmful effects of the former on health. As for the latter, there is a lot of information showing that overusing them is linked to a high risk of dental caries and pathologies such as diabetes and obesity . 😖

By definition, free sugars correspond to all the monosaccharides and disaccharides added to food by manufacturers, cooks or consumers themselves. To these are added those naturally present in honey, syrups and fruit juices. A definition borrowed from the WHO and the UN and appearing in several of their reports.

From microfilm to cavities

When you consume sugary foods and drinks , your teeth retain some of the sugar. This serves as food for the bacteria present in the mouth in a natural way. 🦠 From then on, they develop and give birth to dental plaque.

As they consume sugar, bacteria in plaque release acids . These attack the dental enamel , erode it and weaken it. This is how dental caries occurs, which should be avoided at all costs . 😷 They increase as oral bacteria feed on sugar, a phenomenon aggravated in the absence of good oral hygiene.

Caries is a hole in the tooth. It forms gradually after acids from plaque bacteria eat away at the enamel and internal cavities of the teeth. 🦷

The evolution of caries

Initially, the decay causes only slight damage. But when not treated in time, it festers and attacks the deeper layers of the teeth.

The bacteria responsible for cavities do not only attack the teeth. They also attack the gums and lead to gingivitis or periodontitis , even severe periodontitis in the most advanced cases. 😰

This results in inflammation of the gums . Then, these redden and swell . A gum affected by this disorder can be painful and bleed during toothbrushing . To get rid of this gingival pathology , it is necessary to resort to solutions capable of eliminating the causative agent, that is, the dental plaque and tartar to be eliminated , as well as the bacteria that compose them. 🤭

However, it is possible to reduce the risk of this disease by knowing the foods to avoid to prevent periodontitis.

What are the remedies for sensitive teeth?

Different solutions can combat dental sensitivity or hypersensitivity . This involves improving your diet and using certain oral care products.

Foods to exclude from your daily life

First, it is advisable to avoid or moderate the consumption of foods likely to aggravate the problem, starting with those that are sweet. Exclude acidic foods and drinks, and foods that are extremely hot or frozen from your diet. ☕️ If a food gives you dental discomfort, the ideal is to exclude it from your routine, or at least consume it in great moderation.

The products to adopt

To keep your teeth healthy, use a well-chosen toothpaste that can relieve the symptoms of tooth sensitivity and is specifically designed for this purpose. Indeed, this type of toothpaste contains a component that temporarily seals the hollows present in the enamel and in the dentin. Thus, the sensitive nerves of the tooth are less exposed to bacteria . ☝️

After each brushing, it is essential to make a mouthwash with salt water. Indeed, the latter reduces the risk of tooth sensitivity by eliminating the bacteria responsible for dental plaque. To prepare this solution, simply mix two teaspoons of salt with a cup of hot water. 💧

Other treatments

To reduce the degree of sensitivity of the tooth, one solution is to wear a mouth guard before going to bed, during the night. In fact, some people grind their teeth in their sleep. This is called bruxism , and can be the cause of tooth sensitivity.

To combat this, dentists advise a custom-designed mouth guard , called an aligner. Its role is to prevent pressure and prevent damage from nighttime squeaking. 🛌

To avoid dental sensitivity to touch , sugar or hot-cold, the ideal is to anticipate the disorder. To do this, make sure your gums are in perfect condition by having them checked by a dentist. Indeed, diseased or loose gums cause the teeth to become more sensitive. Faced with this situation, the gingival tissue undergoes decomposition and detaches from the tooth surface. Therefore, the part of the tooth that is below the gumline and devoid of enamel is exposed. Without this protection, it is the nerves that suffer. 👄
