Many people in this world suffer needlessly because of pain from sensitive teeth. Sensitive teeth are usually caused by worn tooth enamel, from acidic food and drink, tooth-grinding, and overly vigorous tooth-brushing. Following these steps can help reduce or even eliminate that trouble.
Steps
- Visit a dentist. They are able to prescribe a special mouth guard for your sleep if they determine that you grind your teeth while sleeping.
- Understand that if you love to drink soda and citrus juices, cutting back is the best option, but drinking these drinks through a straw will lessen the contact of enamel-wearing acids with your teeth.
- Drink cold or hot drinks through a straw will keep these common causes of pain off your teeth.
- Use a toothpaste designed to help with sensitive teeth.
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush, and brush gently but thoroughly.
- Use an over-the-counter numbing gel if you have pain, on the affected areas.
- Take up a hobby to help reduce stress that may cause you to grind your teeth.
Warnings
- Only a dentist can properly diagnose problems with teeth, so if you are not certain your pain is just sensitivity, visit a clinic.
Things You'll Need
- Straws
- Numbing gel
- Sensitivity toothpaste
- Dental mouth guard (possibly)
- Soft-bristle toothbrush
