  people worldwide especially when you have hot or
  cold food items. Temperature changes in the oral
  cavity and certain acidic or sweetened food items

• 1. Use Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth

The market has several brands of toothpaste go
and select the one that has been especially
formulated for sensitive teeth. Take help from
the web, family, friends and the best help from a
professional like a dentist or a dental
hygienist. Using good quality toothpaste
formulated for sensitive teeth will help you
protect your teeth from the sensation and pain
you experience while having food or drinks.
Toothpastes formulated for sensitive teeth
contain ingredients that help block transmission
of sensation from the tooth surface to the
nerves. 2. Change the Way you brush your teeth
3
Using a soft brush instead of a hard or medium
tooth brush is recommended by dentists at
ChelseaDentalSPA. A toothbrush with soft
bristles cleans your mouth without damaging teeth
or gums. Brush your teeth with toothpaste that
has been specially formulated for sensitive teeth
twice every day for around two minutes to keep
your teeth and mouth healthy. Always rinse your
brush after using it, and store it upright and
revealed so that that it can dry before your next
use. It is important for the toothbrush to dry
else bacterial growth may take place on it. 3.
Stop tooth grinding
4
Many people grind and clench their teeth from
time to time. Teeth grinding can be caused by
stress and anxiety. When people grind their teeth
it can result in fracturing, loosening, or loss
of teeth. When you feel the urge to grind your
teeth just relax your jaw and keep the upper and
lower teeth apart, it will help in preventing you
from grinding teeth. To reduce pain due to
granulating or gripping, the dental specialist
will make a plastic night monitor. Utilize the
guard while you rest. It is important to have
your dentist evaluate you with a comprehensive
examination and develop a treatment plan that is
specialized for you. 4. Avoid Acidic Foods and
Drinks
5
As they say prevention is better then cure avoid
acidic foods and drinks, these food and drinks
can contribute to tooth erosion and tooth
sensitivity. Avoid foods and beverages like sport
drinks, sodas, orange juice, tomatoes,
yogurt/sour cream, wine, meat, fish to get relief
from the discomfort caused by sensitive
teeth. 5. Talk to your Dentist about sensitive
teeth Some people have really sensitive teeth
that simple toothpaste cannot cure. If you have a
persistent tooth sensitivity that is causing a
lot of problem and is preventing you from having
your meals properly then you should visit your
dentist. Your dentist will clean your teeth, if
your teeth are too sensitive to be cleaned. Ask
your dentist about products available for home
use and also visit the dentist every 6
months. Article Resource https//chelseadentalsp
