Hypersensitive Teeth

牙齿过敏

Good morning, Doctor Smith.

早安，史密斯先生。

I'm happy that I could get an appointment with you so quickly.

能这么快跟您预约好，我真高兴。

Many of my teeth have become very sensitive at the gumline.

我的许多牙齿的牙龈边缘变得十分敏感。

This is a problem I see in many patients.

我有许多病人都有这个问题。

When the gum has receded1 from a tooth, the root surface becomes exposed.

当牙龈萎缩下来后，牙根的外表就暴露在外面了，

The root isn't covered with tooth enamel2.

牙根是没有牙釉质盖住的。

Is that the cause of the pain?

这就是造成痛的原因。

Yes, that's why it might be sensitive to cold, heat, sweet foods or to the touch.

是的，这就是对冷热，甜东西和碰到它时就会感到过敏的原因。

The degree of sensitivity will change from time to time.

敏感的程度时不时有所改变。

Sometimes the pain will disappear and come back again at a later time.

有时不疼，有些时候又疼了。

If the tooth isn't kept clean by toothbrushing and dental flossing, the pain will be more severe.

假如没有利用刷牙或牙线把牙齿保持清洁，那么会疼得更厉害。

However, sometimes toothbrushing is painful, Doctor.

医生，我有时是刷牙感到很疼。

Please brush your teeth very thoroughly3 in spite of the discomfort4.

尽管不舒服但是刷牙仍然要刷的很透彻。

That will help to reduce the pain.

这样可以少疼一些。

Try to brush without toothpaste for three days.

先试一试不用牙膏刷牙三天。

Try using a different brand of toothpaste.

试一试用别的牌子的牙膏。

Don't use chemical mouthwash.

不要用化学漱口药。
