Sensitive Teeth?
JULY 15, 2013 BY EVANS DENTAL
Are your teeth sensitive to hot, cold, or sweets? If so, there are many reasons why that might be the case. Some reasons include: tooth decay, a cracked tooth, worn tooth enamel, worn fillings, exposed roots (gum recession), grinding or clenching, brushing too hard or using a hard bristled toothbrush, teeth whitening, or acidic foods.Depending on the cause of the sensitivity, there are a few things that will help provide some relief.
1. Try a desensitizing toothpaste such as Sensodyne or Colgate Sensitive Pro- Relief.
2. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing at least 2 times a dayand flossing at least once a day.
3. Gently Brush using a soft-bristle toothbrush to protect gums.
4. Use an over the counter fluoride rinse or a fluoride rinse prescribed by your dentist.
5. Wear a night guard for grinding.
6. Maintain regular dental office visits.
