be a significan t factor in
undermining the tooth
structure and, in
consequence, oral
health, itself.
Vigorous and
horizontally directed
strokes particularly on
the gum area can wear a
v-shaped abrasion on the neck of the tooth. This will
render a large number of dentinal tubules exposed
and open to the oral environment and the fluids
inside vulnerable to rapid pressure changes which in
turn elicit nerve response perceived as a painful
sensation by the patient.
Behavioral modification coupled with the use of
“tissue friendly” soft toothbrush and gentle
toothpaste may significantly prevent the
unnecessary exposure of dentinal tubules. Using
soft-bristled tooth brush, the patient may direct
the tufts at a 45-degree angle around the gum
area and apply deliberate but gentle sweeping
strokes along the tooth surface towards the
incisal or cuspal surfaces. The gum area should
also be covered in the gentle brushing to aid in
Dentinal hypersensitivity is described clinically as a
short, sharp pain due to exposed dentinal tubules
responding to a variety of external stimuli which
includes thermal, osmotic, mechanical, evaporative,
and tactile stimuli.
Common treatment modalities usually involve
prevention of the occurrence of nerve stimulation by
either occluding the dentinal tubules or altering the
nerve stimulation process. Reduction or elimination
of risk factors, which include appropriate behavioral
conditioning among others, is also an integral
component of managing dentinal hypersensitivity.
The exposure of dentinal tubules is generally
attributed to the loss of tooth substance, both
enamel and cementum. One of the factors
contributing to the surface loss is poor tooth
brushing technique. If done injudiciously,

There is a growing professional awareness that dentinal hypersensitivity is one of
the top five oral problems which may compel an individual to seek dental care.
