Many people have teeth that are sensitive to temperature and touch, often due to their enamel being worn down over time. Luckily, this process can be reversed with sensitivity treatment.
What is sensitivity treatment?
As the enamel in your teeth begins to wear down, your teeth become more and more sensitive. There are a variety of dental products that can combat this sensitivity by helping to strengthen your enamel. We can make a variety of recommendations to relieve your sensitivity including over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride treatments at your next appointment, and if your teeth are overly sensitive, a prescription strength at-home fluoride treatment. Scheduling a consultation will help us determine your level of sensitivity and prescribe treatment to desensitize your teeth.
How can I prevent tooth sensitivity?
The best way to prevent tooth sensitivity is by practicing good oral hygiene habits. You can start by making sure that you are brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes at a time. Ensure you are using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a toothpaste infused with fluoride. It is also important to cut down on food and drinks that are highly acidic, such as soft drinks, sports drinks, and energy drinks, as these can begin to wear away and weaken your tooth enamel.
Sensitive teeth can be unpleasant and downright uncomfortable. When your teeth are sensitive, you may not be able to enjoy your favorite food and drinks. To help combat your tooth sensitivity, we will recommend some of our favorite, trusted products to help restore your enamel.
