Ouch! Oh my god!
Have you ever had that bad experience of enjoying a cold soda, and then suddenly you feel like you've been given a shot of steam in your teeth? That's not magic, it's teeth sensitivity sending you into a rage!
The headline is Enamel. That's the hard coat that protects the tooth. If you brush your teeth like you're removing plaque or drinking too much soda, the enamel wears away and leaves a "ghetto" exposed.
Beneath it is Dentin, which has pores leading to the nerves. When the enamel wears away, the cold penetrates right to the nerves. That's where you get that shot that makes you cry! Also, when the gums recede (recession), the root remains exposed and causes pain like you stepped on a hot stone.
