If you find that your teeth react painfully to cold, hot, acidic, or sweet drinks and foods, you have what is known as sensitive teeth. A sharp breath of cold air can also cause the same kind of discomfort.

For most people, good oral hygiene and habits can ensure that you don’t end up with sensitive teeth caused by gum disease or receding gums.

• Brushing twice a day.
• flossing once.
• using a non-abrasive toothpaste

can reduce your risks of developing sensitive teeth. Even minimising the acidic content in your diet can also help in your efforts to avoid tooth sensitivity.

If your dentist has determined that a cavity or cracked tooth isn’t the cause of sensitivity then worn enamel or an exposed root could be the problem. Too-rough brushing is one of the possible causes of worn-down enamel and receding gums, so ban hard-bristle brushes. To treat sensitivity, try swabbing on desensitizing toothpaste, which will necessitate several treatments before pain is mitigated. Consulting Dr.Nechupadam Dental, Marine drive can also help quell discomfort since doctor can apply an enamel-strengthening fluoride gel or seal the tooth root to prevent painful jolts every time you snack on something hot or cold.
