What Can I Do About My Sensitive Teeth?

If hot, cold, sweet or very acidic foods and drinks, or breathing in cold air, makes your teeth or a tooth sensitive or painful then this is something you might want to read. Tooth sensitivity is very common and it has been estimated that approximately half the population experiences tooth sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity can come and go over time, it is caused by dentin on the root areas that is exposed and does not have the protective covering that is needed.Some of the causes of this exposure are:- Brushing too hard- Using a very abrasive toothpaste- A very acidic diet (ex: sodas, citrus, pickles)- Bulimia- GERD (aka: Acid Reflux)Some of the treatments may be as follows:-Use toothpaste for sensitivity (ex: Sensodyne)-Use soft Toothbrush-When brushing do not apply too much pressure and use small circular motions-Limit intake of acidic foods and drinks-Use a fluoride rinse daily (ex: Act)It is important to tell your dentist or hygienist if you have any sensitive teeth, so that he or she can examine your mouth, see if the problem is tooth sensitivity (dentin hypersensitivity) and help you choose the best treatment. Please visit our office in Tamarac, FL.
