The Different Ways We Can Treat Sensitive Teeth
Ice-cold beverages and hot foods can be the bane of existence for those who suffer from tooth sensitivity. If you have noticed pain while eating ice cream or drinking coffee, you should know there are reasons for your pain. Causes of sensitive teeth include tooth decay, worn down fillings, worn enamel, gum disease, exposed tooth roots, and fractured teeth. Treatment for tooth sensitivity can depend on the issue causing it.
Following are some of the treatments:
- Desensitizing toothpaste: This toothpaste has compounds in it that are effective in keeping painful sensations away from your tooth after a few applications
- Fluoride gel: Fluoride builds up the minerals in your teeth and can strengthen your tooth enamel as well as block pathways to the nerve of the tooth
- Dental work: Treatments for tooth sensitivity include dental crowns and veneers. These treatments can also correct cosmetic flaws in teeth and eliminate causes of tooth decay
- Root canal therapy: This is used when other treatments fail. A root canal is sure to remove the sensitivity
