The Causes of Tooth Sensitivity and Your Treatment Options

There are many possible causes of sensitive teeth. A recent oral hygiene cleaning, the addition of a crown, tooth grinding, and thin enamel are a handful of common issues.

However, what treatment options might your dentist recommend so that you can enjoy a pain-free smile?

– Switching to a softer toothbrush can help.

– Choose a toothpaste with fluoride as an active ingredient will help keep enamel strong, to prevent sensitivity.

– There are devices that can prevent you from grinding your teeth when you sleep.

“At home, you can and should invest in a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently brush your teeth to avoid wearing away any more enamel.”
