Have you ever felt a sudden and sharp pain eating ice cream or drinking hot tea? Or maybe it was an uncomfortable feeling, reminiscent of the cold gusts of wind in your mouth? According toWorld Health Organization, 90% of the people suffer from tooth sensitivity.
Tooth sensitivity can appear for various reasons, for example, internal organ disorders, inflammatory processes in the mouth, due to damages in enamel because of strong physical or chemical effects, etc. However, the most common causes of tooth sensitivity is associated with poor oral hygiene and dietary habits.
One of the reasons for tooth sensitivity is brushing your teeth too often and too strong. The problem can also be related to a wrong toothbrush. Toothbrush bristles can scrub not only the dirt but also damage the enamel. If you do not want to damage your teeth, choose brushes with soft bristles and pay attention to how you brush your teeth. Be extremely careful with your the gums. If your teeth are sensitive, you should choose special toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
Tooth sensitivity can be caused not only because of inadequate dental care, but also because of certain foods (such as sugar). You should clean your teeth twice a day, use floss and mouth rinse. This will prevent accumulation of dental plaque. Choose a toothpaste with fluoride. It will help reduce tooth sensitivity. No matter what toothpaste you use, remember that after brushing you must rinse your mouth with water.
