Mindfull Of Sensitivity ???
Let the taste of IceCream or sip of Coffee not make you wince ever again.
#Sensitivity of tooth is a sign that indicates your teeth needs immediate Attention
Each and every tooth of ours has a protective layer over it called Enamel.
Fact: Enamel is the hardest structure of the body,harder than bone.
Sensitivity occurs when this enamel layer is affected by Dental Caries,chipping/cracking from trauma,aggressive brushing,grinding of teeth(bruxism),or too much consumption of aerated drinks,gum recession from gum disease.
How Can I prevent Tooth Sensitivity?
*Good Oral hygiene is the best defense against any dental problem
*Use a soft bristles tooth brush and do a gentle brushing for 2mins twice a day
*Replace your toothbrush every 3months,as frayed tooth bristles lead to ineffective brushing and affects the gums too
*clean inbetween the teeth with dental floss(never use toothpick)
*wear a teeth night guard in case of bruxism
*Avoid aerated drinks as they erode away the enamel
Could Teeth Sensitivity be Treated?
Sensitivity of teeth could be easily treated.The treatment varies from simple solution of using a desensitizing toothpaste, in-office application of fluoride varnish/desensitizer,fillings, onlay ,to wearing a dental crown.
Tips to Manage Sensitivity
- Swirl and keep your tongue over the sensitive teeth,the saliva and tongue serve as Thermal insulators and give relief from sensitivity.
- Apply a small amount of desensitizing tooth paste over the affected teeth,leave it for 3minutes and brush with a soft bristles tooth brush
- Use Fluoridated mouth wash.
However these tips are suggested only for a symptomatic relief and are not solution.
Consult your dentist at the earliest as Good Oral Health is a gateway to Great General Health.
