Do you avoid eating ice cream, or drinking cold drinks because it's uncomfortable? You might have teeth sensitivity. This is quite a common ailment and at least one in eight adults experience this. Here are some tips to relieve the pain.
1. Find the Right Toothpaste - If you have sensitive teeth you have to pick a toothpaste suited for you. One with fluoride should help with tooth strength. Some kinds of toothpaste are specifically for sensitive teeth. Don't just pick random ones because they might worsen the problem. Ask your dentist for some advice.
2. Gentle Brushing - Brushing unnecessarily hard can damage your tooth's enamel, uncover the tooth dentin and canals. When acidic and food with high temperature touches your teeth it will cause sensitivity. Change your toothbrush often and choose one with softer bristles.
3. Use Mouthwash - Some mouthwash has acids that cause teeth sensitivity. If your tooth's enamel has worn down and your dentin is out these, acids will make the sensitivity worse. Choose one to use a neutral fluoride rinse instead.
4. Say No to Acidic Foods - Lessen your intake of sodas, wine yogurt, and citrus foods. Avoiding these will be a great help in your teeth' healing. Acidic food softens the enamel from your teeth so if you eat some acidic food; don't ever brush your teeth yet. Drink milk instead. This neutralizes the acid which in turn helps with teeth sensitivity.
5. Don't Grind your teeth - Grinding your teeth wears down the enamel and can uncover your dentin. Wear a mouthpiece if this ever happens to you.
6. Good Dental Hygiene - Caring constantly for your dental health lessens the chances of getting sensitive teeth. Brush twice a day and don't forget to floss afterward.
7. Go to your Dentist - The best help you can get is from the professionals. Sensitive teeth are not only caused by one thing. Take care of them by going to the dentist regularly.
