Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity can be very debilitating especially when it impacts our enjoyment of food and drinks.
At Smile Hawthorn, we assess the causes of sensitivity and discuss various management techniques to help minimise the sensitivity so you can continue to enjoy your favourite foods and drinks.
What causes Teeth to be Sensitive?
Sensitivity in teeth can be caused many factors including:
- Toothbrush abrasion
- Worn or broken fillings
- Deep and large fillings
- Decay and cavities
- Grinding and clenching
- Exposed dentine
- Sinusitis
What can I do for my sensitive teeth?
The cause of sensitive teeth needs to be determined by your dentist.
These simple techniques at home can help with sensitivity in the interim:
- Brushing gently with a soft toothbrush
- Have a dental checkup to assess for decay or broken fillings
- Check for grinding or clenching
- Use a sensitive toothpaste
