How to prevent tooth sensitivity?

When brushing your teeth in the morning, do you feel a sudden toothache like being pricked by a needle? Many people regard this toothache as a short-term inflammation and ignore the discomfort of the teeth. Rather than proactively addressing the problem, many people would rather try to ignore the pain or change their eating habits to avoid it, not realizing that tooth sensitivity is a medical condition. We can usually prevent it, so what should we do about tooth sensitivity?

1. Develop the habit of rinsing your mouth after meals.

2 Reduce the intake of acidic foods and beverages to avoid acid erosion, especially for adolescents whose teeth are not fully developed.

3 After eating acidic food and drinking drinks, it is best to wait for an hour before brushing your teeth. This is because acidic substances will erode the surface of tooth enamel, causing a temporary decrease in hardness. Therefore, if you brush your teeth at this time, it will cause a certain degree of wear on the enamel.

4 Choose a suitable toothbrush and use the correct brushing method. It is best to use a gum-protecting toothbrush to reduce the damage to the gums caused by the toothbrush. At the same time, you should also be careful to avoid using the toothbrush with excessive force.

5 Patients with dental diseases such as periodontal disease, bruxism, excessive tooth wear, etc. should seek timely treatment to prevent "minor diseases" from developing into major diseases, causing multiple physical, mental and economic losses.

6 Patients with endogenous, acidic sources such as feeding tube flow should address the cause as soon as possible to avoid further tooth damage.

7 If your teeth feel uncomfortable or painful due to cold or heat, you should see a dentist in time for diagnosis and take appropriate measures for treatment.

8 In addition to brushing your teeth carefully every day, you should also choose anti-sensitivity toothpaste with a certain brand awareness and reputation to address tooth sensitivity symptoms.

The problem of tooth sensitivity cannot be ignored. Even if you think your teeth are very delicious now, you still need to prevent it. Don’t wait until it gradually develops into pulpitis or apical periodontitis before you think about treatment. Therefore, you must maintain good living habits and oral hygiene in your daily life, which can not only prevent tooth sensitivity, but also prevent other oral diseases.
