How often do you refuse to have hot tea in winter or cold fruit juice in summer? Maybe your teeth are sugar-sensitive? If you have the first-hand knowledge of it, then the matter is in the hypersensitivity of your teeth.
In fact, hypersensitivity means the hypersensitive dentin, which is under your teeth soft coating (under the so called dental cement), in the root. If the coating is damaged, then the dentin is uncovered. It can happen in case you clean your teeth too thoroughly, or use the toothpaste with high-abrasivity level. Dentin can also be uncovered if you abuse fizzy drinks, eat too much salted food or too much citrus fruit. As all of these foods contain big amounts of acid, they influence badly the surface of the teeth coating, dissolving it.
