Tooth sensitivity can appear as brief, sharp pain triggered by hot, cold, or sweet contact. It is typically linked to enamel erosion or gum recession.
Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth can reduce the impact of everyday triggers.
Acidic drinks, teeth grinding (bruxism) and overuse of whitening products are among the main contributors to sensitivity. Limiting these habits is advisable.
Recurring sensitivity should not be left unevaluated. Clinical solutions such as fluoride application and gum treatments can be assessed during a check-up.
