Only those who have tried it know how it feels to have sensitive teeth!

On the day of reunion at home, my mother cooked a large table of food that only belonged to "my mother's taste", and then my toothache started...

I finally got together with an old friend I hadn’t seen for years. The aroma of hotpot and chicken skewers filled my nose, but my tooth started to hurt…

When you arrive at your dream destination, you must check in for delicious food, but then your tooth starts to hurt...

Thus, every day that should have been spent enjoying delicious food becomes a sad anniversary commemorating tooth sensitivity.

Why do teeth become sensitive?

Some people may ask angrily: "I brush my teeth carefully every day and go for dental cleaning regularly, why can't I escape the fate of tooth sensitivity?"

Don't be angry, listen to what Xiaoze has to say slowly. Under normal circumstances, our healthy teeth have a hard layer of enamel on the outside. It not only helps us chew food, but also blocks various external hot and cold stimuli and protects the fragile dental nerves inside the teeth. If the enamel is worn away, or the tooth roots are exposed due to periodontitis or alveolar bone atrophy, then external stimuli can easily be transmitted to the pulp in the center of the tooth through the pores on the surface of the dentin, resulting in varying degrees of irritating pain symptoms.

People who brush their teeth incorrectly (brushing like a saw), do not clean properly (not rinsing their mouth after meals, not brushing their teeth before going to bed), have bad eating habits (like eating hard food), or have the habit of grinding their teeth are prone to tooth sensitivity. In addition, pregnant women, orthodontic patients, and people who have undergone teeth cleaning and teeth whitening are also prone to tooth sensitivity. If tooth sensitivity is not intervened, it will not only affect your appetite and cause pain, but also aggravate the degree of tooth wear and eventually lead to pulpitis. At that time, you have to ask for root canal treatment, the "ultimate king", to solve it.

How to prevent and relieve tooth sensitivity?

If you want to prevent tooth sensitivity, or if you only have mild sensitivity and the teeth themselves are not worn much, you should first do daily cleaning and then carry out further protection.

Do a good job of daily cleaning

Doing a good job of daily cleaning is very important for protecting teeth. Brushing your teeth twice a day is essential. Remember to use the correct Bass brushing method. The saw-like brushing method is extremely harmful to teeth. Remember to rinse your mouth after meals. If conditions permit, you can use mouthwash. Use dental floss at least once a day to help us clean places that are difficult to brush normally, reduce food residues in the gaps, and ensure that our teeth are cleaned properly.

Choose anti-allergic products

There are many toothpastes and mouthwashes with anti-sensitivity effects on the market. These products often contain fluoride ions and potassium ions. Fluoride ions can promote the remineralization of the tooth surface, close the small pores on the dentin surface, and reduce external stimulation to the inside of the tooth. Potassium ions can relieve the reaction of the dental pulp nerves to external stimulation, and play a role in reducing tooth sensitivity and pain.

On the basis of daily teeth cleaning, you can choose such products to help relieve mild symptoms of tooth sensitivity.

If your tooth sensitivity is severe and the above methods cannot relieve the pain, it is recommended to seek help from a doctor. The doctor will further strengthen the desensitization according to the specific condition of your tooth defects. Or repair obvious tooth defects, eliminate tooth sensitivity symptoms, and prevent tooth wear to a certain extent.

After the repair, you need to pay more attention to the cleaning of your teeth!
