Tooth sensitivity in Cali, Colombia

Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is a brief pain or discomfort triggered by cold, hot, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks, or by brushing the teeth. It may be related to enamel wear, gum recession, cavities, fractured teeth, or dental procedures.

How is tooth sensitivity treated?

Treatment depends on the underlying cause. It may include desensitizing products, fluoride treatments, restoration of cavities or worn teeth, and gum treatment. A dentist should identify the cause before determining the most appropriate treatment.

How can tooth sensitivity be prevented?

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, avoiding excessive brushing pressure, maintaining good oral hygiene, and limiting frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks can help. Persistent or sudden sensitivity should be evaluated by a dentist.
