Learn about what you can do to stop sensitivity today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ease Your Tooth Sensitivity With These Simple Steps<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth decay, worn enamel and a receding gum line can all cause your teeth to feel sensitive to hot or cold foods and beverages. The following can also result in tooth sensitivity:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gum disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe tooth decay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plaque or tartar buildup<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth whitening products, like toothpastes, mouthwashes and at-home whitening treatments<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nighttime tooth grinding, or bruxism<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long term use of a hard bristled toothbrush<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect any of the above are causing your tooth sensitivity, your dentist can help you figure out a successful treatment to help curb the issue. Remember that teeth are also the most sensitive between ages 25 and 30, so your hot and cold problem could subside naturally in a few years. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Oral Hygiene Prevents and Lessens Sensitivity<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because tooth decay and excessive plaque or tartar buildup can cause tooth sensitivity, maintaining excellent oral hygiene habits is crucial to preventing and reducing discomfort to hot and cold foods and beverages. Make sure you\u2019re brushing your teeth gently, using a soft bristled toothbrush for two minutes, twice a day, flossing daily and visiting your dentist every six months. These habits will go far in reducing the chance for decay and other infections, meaning you\u2019re more likely to have strong, beautiful teeth that last a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Products that Reduce Sensitivity<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some special toothpastes and mouthwashes are excellent in helping to curb tooth sensitivity. These usually contain <\/span><b>potassium nitrate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>strontium chloride, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ingredients that are excellent at shielding the enamel from those uncomfortable hot and cold sensations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit Your Weatherford Dentist Today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel like you\u2019ve tried everything and are still suffering from tooth sensitivity, or if you know you need professional help in strengthening your teeth against discomfort, don\u2019t hesitate to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weatherfordfamilydentist.com\/contact-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">schedule your appointment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Dr. Deborah A.
