Treatment and Preventive of Hypersensitivity in Teeth

Many medical studies say 75% of people with a specific hypersensitivity do not use dentifrice. However, an appropriate gel can relieve instant and lasting sensitivity. Sensitive teeth may indicate other dental problems that require intervention by a dentist, for example, caries. Therefore, it is always recommended to pay a visit to a specialist who can diagnose the cause of this sensitivity and give the patient right treatment.



Many of the sealants that are used to solve the problem of tooth sensitivity found in mouthwashes, toothpastes or gels can be applied by the patient on his/her own without visiting a specialist. However, other products and more effective treatments to solve hypersensitivity can only be applied by a professional.

There are special cases where decay or improper brushing cause such erosion and tooth wear that is necessary to carry out a filling to produce the permanent sealing of the piece. This will prevent hypersensitivity and also improve aesthetics of the patient's smile as the tooth recovers its original shape and appearance.

If none of these techniques work satisfactorily, the dentist will perform a root canal i.e. desensitize the tooth permanently by removing the nerve. In any case, it is advisable to make a visit to the dentist every six months or a year to check the current state of treated area. And contrary to what many people may think, the economic cost of treatment to relieve tooth sensitivity in a dental center is minimal for the patient.

Brushing and Food – The Preventive Keys

Recommendations to prevent hypersensitivity is to conduct brushing teeth in the rightly manner, thus, it is important to follow the recommendations of your dentist. The main thing is never to make horizontal movements, but you have to brush circularly and using a soft bristle brush instead of one with hard bristles which is also in good condition i.e. that it is renewed every three months. The guide for proper brushing is as follows;



•    Place the brush at an angle of 45° and brush gently making circular motions, roughly 20 per tooth.
•    Turn the brush to help remove plaque from the gum line towards the end of the tooth for scavenging effect.
•    Repeat the process on all teeth to gum lines for proper cleaning.
•    In incisors, the central parts, and canine, brush the inner surface towards the end of tooth.
•    For premolars and molars, brush the surface back and forth.
•    Finally, brush your tongue gently and firmly and rinse with water.
•    You can also complete dental hygiene with a mouthwash.

Since a diet rich in foods of high acidity is, in part, the cause of hypersensitivity, to carry out a healthy and balanced diet, for example, fresh tomatoes, citrus fruits and carbonated beverages will help reduce and improve the discomfort caused by tooth sensitivity.
