Silent Acid Reflux: A Cause of Unexpected Tooth Sensitivity

Imagine your teeth have a protective coat called enamel.

Sometimes, this coat wears away, making your teeth sensitive.

Silent acid reflux, where stomach acid comes up without you feeling heartburn, can wear away this coat.

This can happen even if you don't feel any pain in your chest!

Dentist Dr. Premila Naidu explains that this hidden acid can damage your teeth, making them hurt with hot, cold, or sour foods.

It's like the acid is slowly dissolving the protection.

So, if your teeth are sensitive, it might be a sign of a hidden problem that needs to be checked by a dentist to protect your teeth.
