Frequently Asked Questions About
Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity can manifest as a sudden, sharp pain that disappears in seconds. Patients often experience this sensitivity when they consume hot or cold beverages or when they breathe in cold air. While the pain may be brief, it can be intense. In some cases, the pain may last for longer periods. If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity, it is important to see your dentist so that they can determine the underlying cause and address the problem.

There are several things you can do to manage sensitive teeth at home. First, avoid foods and beverages that are known to trigger sensitivity. Second, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush gently. Third, use toothpaste for sensitive teeth, and finally, visit your dentist regularly to ensure that any underlying problems are caught and managed early. By taking these steps, you can reduce the discomfort associated with tooth sensitivity.

If you have sensitive teeth, avoid hot, cold, sweet, and acidic food and drinks as this trigger the pain associated with sensitive teeth. Instead, opt for softer foods that are easy to eat. Also, avoid carbonated beverages as they can cause erosion of enamel which can worsen tooth sensitivity. Lastly, avoid drinking alcohol as it can dehydrate your mouth and make your teeth more susceptible to sensitivity. Avoiding these triggers can ease the discomfort associated with sensitive teeth.
You may brush and floss your teeth even if you have sensitive teeth. The key is to be gentle and to use a soft-bristled brush. You may also want to switch to a toothpaste specifically designed to address tooth sensitivity. Toothpaste contains ingredients that block the tubes that lead to the nerves inside the teeth, providing relief from the pain of sensitivity. If you follow these tips, you can continue to brush and floss your teeth without discomfort.
While this condition is relatively common and usually not a cause for concern, it can signify more serious dental problems. If your sensitivity persists for more than a few weeks or you experience sudden, severe pain, you should see your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist can determine the cause of your sensitivity and recommend the best course of treatment. In most cases, sensitive teeth can be treated with at-home care, such as desensitizing toothpaste or fluoride gel. However, your dentist may recommend a root canal or other dental procedures if the problem is more severe.
