This sharp dental pain is caused when your gums have pull back and expose the surface beneath, called the dentin. Dentin is the soft tissue layer that makes up the inner part and roots of our teeth. This inner area is composed of thousands of tiny tubes that lead to the tooth's nerve center (the pulp).
