Tooth sensitivity can catch you off guard, turning the simple joy of a delicious ice-cream or a soothing hot chocolate into a source of pain. If your teeth are sensitive to temperature, sweetness, or even brushing, you’re not alone in your discomfort. But there’s light at the end of the tunnel; there are various steps you can take to alleviate that pesky tooth sensitivity for good.<\/p>\n

Tooth Sensitivity<\/h2>\n

Before diving into remedies, it’s critical to know what we’re dealing with. Tooth sensitivity, or ‘dentin hypersensitivity’, arises when the protective enamel of the tooth wears away, exposing the softer inner dentin. This exposes the nerve endings, causing discomfort when they come in contact with triggers like cold, heat, or acidity. But what can you do? Here’s how you can start to say goodbye to tooth sensitivity.<\/p>\n

Adopting the correct brushing technique is crucial to prevent further enamel damage. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle, circular motions can help avoid aggressive wear on the enamel. And remember, over-brushing can be just as bad as not brushing enough!<\/p>\n
