Sensitive teeth and its treatment ======================================

When you have sensitive teeth, certain activities such as brushing, eating, and drinking can cause temporary, sharp pain in your teeth. Sensitive teeth are usually the result of tooth enamel wear or tooth root exposure. However, sometimes tooth discomfort is caused by other factors such as cavities, cracked teeth, worn fillings, or gum disease.

If sensitive teeth bother you, see your dentist. He can identify or rule out the underlying causes of your toothache. Depending on the situation, your dentist may recommend:

**Anti-allergic toothpaste** After several uses, hypoallergenic toothpaste can sometimes help prevent pain associated with sensitive teeth. A variety of over-the-counter products are available. Ask your dentist which product might work best for you.

### fluoride Your dentist may apply fluoride to sensitive areas of your teeth to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce pain. He may also recommend the use of prescription fluoride at home, which is applied through a custom tray. #### Desensitization or bonding Sometimes, exposed root surfaces can be treated by applying bonding resin to sensitive root surfaces. Local anesthesia may be required. ##### Gum graft If the root of your tooth has lost gum tissue, a small amount of gum tissue can be taken from another place in the mouth and attached to the damaged area. This can protect the exposed roots and reduce sensitivity.

nerve killing If your sensitive teeth are causing severe pain and other treatments have not worked, your dentist may recommend a root canal. A method used to treat problems in the soft core of the tooth (dental pulp). Although this treatment method may seem remarkable, it is considered the most successful method to eliminate tooth sensitivity.

To prevent the recurrence of sensitive teeth, brush your teeth twice a day with a soft toothbrush and toothpaste containing fluoride and dental floss. Use gentle strokes instead of harsh or harsh washing and avoid using abrasive toothpaste. If you grind your teeth, ask your dentist about a mouth guard. Grinding teeth can cause tooth breakage and sensitivity.

You can also be careful when eating or drinking acidic foods and drinks, such as sodas, citrus fruits, and wine, all of which can wear away small amounts of tooth enamel over time. When drinking acidic liquids, use a straw to limit contact with your teeth. After eating or drinking an acidic substance, drink water to balance the acid level in your mouth.
