Sensitive teeth can really be a pain. Not only do they hurt, but they make enjoying the little things such as hot, cold, sweet, or sour foods and drinks unbearable. Even breathing in cold air can hurt!
Many things can cause sensitive teeth, such as a cavity, a cracked or chipped tooth, a worn filling, gum disease, and more. But don’t worry, you aren’t doomed to a life of pain forever! Here are a few things that can help:
1. Use desensitizing toothpaste that is made specifically for sensitive teeth.
2. Use a soft bristled toothbrush that will be less damaging to your tooth enamel.
3. Avoid acidic foods and drinks that can eat away at your tooth enamel.
4. Add fluoride into your daily life through specific toothpaste, supplements, or even your normal diet.
5. Visit your dentist to make sure your gums are as healthy as possible.
6. Talk to your dentist about dental varnishes and coatings to give your teeth an extra layer of protection.
