When you have teeth sensitive to triggers like sugar, acid, or extreme temperatures, the pain will only occur if your teeth come into contact with these things.<\/p> <p>If the pain lasts for a long time after these triggers or isn\u2019t associated with anything in particular that you eat or drink, there\u2019s a chance that a more serious problem is causing your pain than just a sensitive tooth. In this case, having a dental checkup is best to discuss your concerns.<\/p> <p>Until your appointment, you can manage any pain by taking regular painkillers (if they are normally suitable for you). Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/toothache-relief-causes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">toothache guide<\/a> for more information about what might be causing the pain, what treatments are available, and how you can manage your pain at home.<\/p> <div class=\"dentist-tip\"> <div class=\"dentist-tip__title\">Ask a dentist: What can be done to minimize tooth sensitivity?<\/div> <div class=\"dentist-tip__content\"> <p>Sensitivity can occur because of any number of factors. Routine brushing and flossing using proper technique is one of the first steps to minimizing tooth sensitivity because it prevents decay and recession. You also need to make sure not to brush too hard against your tooth or your gums. This can lead to abrasion or gum recession, exposing the second layer of the tooth\u2019s surface \u2013 dentin \u2013 and causing tooth sensitivity from nerve stimulation in the dentin layer. Using a soft bristle toothbrush also helps prevent and minimize tooth sensitivity.<\/p> <p>If you are already experiencing sensitivity, using a special toothpaste, such as Sensodyne, or a prescription fluoride toothpaste can help minimize the discomfort. If tooth sensitivity lingers and\/or occurs spontaneously, you may be experiencing a serious dental problem such as a cavity or a broken tooth. In these cases, it is best to see a dentist to evaluate your tooth and receive the appropriate treatment.<\/p> <p><strong>Dr. Roselyn Oji, DDS<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <h2 id=\"how-to-fix-sensitive-teeth-for-good\" \"how-to-fix-sensitive-teeth-for-good\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">How to fix sensitive teeth for good<\/h2> <p>If you\u2019re looking for how to completely cure your sensitive teeth, your dentist will probably have the answer.

You may have sensitive teeth after a filling, after whitening, or like many people, perhaps you have teeth that are sensitive to hot and cold stimuli.<\/p> <p>Whatever the reason, the best remedy for a sensitive tooth is to follow correct brushing and general care routines. This includes brushing regularly and correctly, flossing, and using mouthwash for teeth sensitivity every day. Keep up with regular dental visits so they can spot cavities or gum problems early on and offer you the most appropriate treatment.<\/p> <h2 id=\"faqs\" \"faqs\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are my teeth so sensitive?<\/h3> <p>Your teeth may feel sensitive as a result of different sensitive teeth causes which can be the wearing away of the hard, enamel coating of your teeth or exposure to triggers like sweets.<\/p> <p>You might have a cavity, infection, or gum disease if you have extreme teeth sensitivity. Your dentist will be able to check your mouth and identify any underlying problems that need to be treated.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get rid of tooth sensitivity?<\/h3> <p>You can relieve tooth sensitivity by using special toothpastes and mouthwashes designed to protect and strengthen your tooth enamel. For a total fix, you will need to visit a dentist.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I have sensitive teeth during pregnancy?<\/h3> <p>Sensitive teeth during pregnancy may be a result of \u2018pregnancy gingivitis\u2019, which affects more than 60% of pregnant women. This condition is associated with an increase in blood flow to the gingival tissue and hormonal changes that affect the body\u2019s ability to tolerate plaque buildup. While pregnancy gingivitis is temporary, pregnant women are encouraged to increase their hygiene vigilance and routine.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?<\/h3> <p>It is possible to develop teeth sensitivity after whitening them, either with a home kit or at the dentist. However, some whitening kits may be specially formulated to be gentle, so start there. You can also start by using the product for less than the recommended time and build it up slowly to see how it feels.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I have tooth sensitivity after a filling?<\/h3> <p>You may develop sensitive teeth after a filling which is not uncommon, and the most likely reason is that a nerve ending in the tooth has been disturbed or exposed. The feeling should subside by itself after a few days after it has had time to heal. If you continue to experience sensitivity for more than two weeks after getting a filling, then contact your dentist.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do my teeth hurt when I drink cold water?<\/h3> <p>You may experience tooth sensitivity to cold water which may indicate that you have worn-down or cracked enamel. If your case is severe, your dentist will recommend the right treatment for your sensitive teeth. Additionally, if your tooth is sensitive to heat, it is most likely due to the same issue.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is just one tooth sensitive to cold?<\/h3> <p>Having just one sensitive tooth to heat or cold may indicate a more serious problem such as decay that your dentist will want to examine.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What causes sensitive teeth all of a sudden?<\/h3> <p>Sudden tooth sensitivity usually occurs when eating cold or acidic foods and may show up sometime after a dental procedure like a filling or can indicate nerve root exposure. If you are bothered by tooth sensitivity, ask your dentist about it, and they\u2019ll help you find a solution.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do I do when I have a sensitive tooth?<\/h3> <p>If you are wondering what to do when you have a sensitive tooth, you can start with some common remedies like avoiding triggers like sweets and acidic drinks. You should also ensure you use a toothbrush with soft bristles and use toothpaste made to combat tooth sensitivity. If there is no sensitive teeth relief, you can visit your dentist to discuss more treatment options.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"> <ul class=\"share-buttons\"> <li class=\"share_item share_item-facebook\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-twitter\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-whatsapp-web\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-common\"><\/li> <\/ul> <p><script>\n    document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) {\n        var tempInput = jQuery('<input type=\"text\">');\n        var curUrl = jQuery(location).attr('href');\n        var shareButton = jQuery('.share-copy-link');\n        shareButton.on('click', function (e) {\n            e.preventDefault();\n            if (navigator.share) {\n                navigator.share({\n                    title: 'Dentaly.org | Your Oral Healthcare Portal',\n                    url: curUrl\n                }).then(() => {\n                    console.log('Thanks for sharing!');\n                }).catch(console.error);\n            } else {\n                jQuery('body').append(tempInput);\n                tempInput.val(curUrl).select();\n                document.execCommand('copy');\n                tempInput.remove();\n                jQuery(this).attr('data-state', 'Link is copied').addClass('copied');\n                setTimeout(function () {\n                    jQuery('.share-copy-link').removeClass('copied');\n                }, 8000);\n            }\n        });\n    });\n<\/script><\/p> <\/div> <p><!--copyscapeskip--><\/p> <div class=\"medical-references\"> <div class=\"medical-references__heading\">Sources<\/div> <div class=\"medical-references__list\"> <p><strong>Oral Health Foundation:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalhealth.org\/sensitive-teeth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sensitive teeth<\/a>.
