Is Your Tooth Sensitivity Bothering You
2
Healthy eating accompanied by an active lifestyle
contributes greatly to one's health and well
being. However, at some point in time health
complications crop up, which requires medical
attention.
3
If you divide the human body into various parts
as per medical science, each body part have their
own health-related issues.
4
Maintaining a healthy oral hygiene is not at all
difficult, but at some point in time due to bad
habits or genes, certain dental problems are
found in many people.
5
There are many sorts of dental diseases that
affect human beings. One such complication that
is often reported among a wide section of people
is tooth sensitivity.
6
Tooth sensitivity is a very painful disease,
which can be cured by following certain
medications and remedial measures. Let us
discuss more about tooth sensitivity.
7
What is tooth sensitivity?
8
Tooth sensitivity is a common dental issue, which
involves discomfort or pain in teeth when you eat
certain substances or at some temperatures.
9
The worst part about tooth sensitivity is the
fact that the pain often shoots into the tooth's
nerve endings, which leaves you with a lingering
sensation long after the pain has gone.
10
However, there is nothing to worry about as tooth
sensitivity is treatable and your dental
condition can be improved. Here are the ways in
which you can easily deal with your tooth
sensitivity.
11
Toothpaste for sensitive teeth
12
There are several types of toothpaste available
in the market that are specially manufactured for
helping people with dental sensitivity.
13
These pastes contain an active ingredient known
as potassium nitrate, which acts to block the
tiny tubules in the dentin.
14
However, the catch is that the toothpaste will
not work for everybody, but most dentists
recommend using a toothpaste as the first source
of medication for sensitivity.
15
You need to use it continuously for some period
of time to see the actual results.
16
Change the way you brush
17
You will be surprised to know that most of the
dental problems are caused due to the improper
brushing of the teeth.
18
If you are not using a soft toothbrush, or you
scrub your teeth very hard, or not spending
enough time brushing your teeth, then you can
aggravate your sensitive tooth.
19
Brushing your teeth vigorously can wear away the
enamel while increasing the sensitivity of your
teeth.
20
Moreover, if your gums have receded or there is
bone loss and your tooth's root is exposed, then
you should be careful while brushing your teeth
as you can scrub at the cementum.
21
The cementum protects the root of your teeth,
however, it wears away faster than the enamel.
Therefore, you must change your brushing habit
and it will definitely help you to a large extent.
22
Avoid acidic food and drinks
23
The choice of your food also has a role to play
in the sensitivity of your teeth. For example,
red wine, fruit juices and acidic foods such as
oranges and pickles attack your enamel.
24
Consequently, when the enamel wears out,
sensitivity also increases. You must stay away
from these foods and drinks and if ever you eat
them, then brush your teeth for at least 20
minutes after having them.
25
Furthermore, if you do not have sensitivity, then
also you must stay away as far as possible from
these foods as enamel loss is irreversible.
26
Stop grinding your teeth
27
When you do this you are wearing away the enamel,
which will result in a sensitivity problem. Some
people even do not realize that they are grinding
their teeth.
28
While others do it when they are sleeping, which
results in jaw pain or headaches. If you have the
habit of grinding your teeth when sleeping, then
use a mouth guard or change your sleeping
position.
29
You must never ever grind your teeth, which can
lead to sensitivity problem.
30
Finally
31
If you first determine the exact cause of
sensitive teeth, then you can easily find the
required solution without wasting much of your
time.
32
Moreover, if you use clove oil, then you can
considerably reduce your sensitivity as it works
wonders for sensitive teeth.
33
However, if the problem persists, then visit a
dentist for a complete solution.
