Tooth root sensitivities: Oversensitivity of exposedroots of teeth to cold, hot, and sour foods because those roots are no longer protected byhealthy gum and bone. Chronic gum disease contributes to toothache due to rootsensitivities. The roots are the lower 2/3 of the teeth that are normally buried in bone.The bacterial toxins dissolve the bone around the roots and cause the gum and the bone torecede, exposing the roots. The sensitivities may be so severe that the person avoids anycold or sour foods.
