Tooth sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is a nuisance that develops over time due to the following factors:

• Gum recession (by aggressive brushing, periodontal disease or malocclusions)
• Bruxism (teeth grinding)

Both cases originate dental exposure in the layer called dentin, when having a meal or cold, hot or sugary drinks will cause the patient to have a brief but sharp pang at which it is commonly known as tooth sensitivity.

• Conducting a good dental hygiene, always including flossing.
• Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
• Using a soft bristle toothbrush.
• Brushing teeth frequently but gently pressing when brushing.
• Use a mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding.
• Visiting the dentist regularly for professional cleanings, preventing gingivitis and receiving information about dental care.
• In case of severe problem of occlusion, it can be woked through orthodontic or complete Oral Rehabilitation.
