Age Related Tooth Sensitivity
We know what happens to aging gums and teeth. Aging can make gums recede.Sensitive root material is more sensitive to cold and abrasion. Periodontal problems are also very prevalent.
Dry mouth can also cause root cavities, leading to increased tooth sensitivity.?

Other treatments some seniors receive, such as radiation and chemo, can also damage gums and teeth.
