- Common cause of sensitive teeth is gum disease.
Gum disease results in receding gums that lead to sensitive teeth.
Best way to prevent it is by taking good oral care.
- Avoid food deposition on gums by brushing properly twice daily.
- Use interdental aids like floss and interdental brush to remove food trapped between teeth.
Avoid using pins as it can injure your gums and cause recession.
- Brush using a soft brush.
Vigorous and improper brushing cause enamel wear that in turn increases sensitivity.
- If you have sensitivity you can use sensitive tooth pastes for brushing twice daily.
- For age related tooth wear & persistent sensitivity consult a dentist online.
Your dentist may suggest a root canal treatment fluoride gel or crown or a filling as per you need.
- Avoid extremes of temperature till your problem resolves to avoid discomfort.
Some people can have sensitivity to air and sweet.
Avoid them too.
