Dental sensitivity, also known as
dentinal hypersensitivity, affects tooth surfaces or exposed root surfaces.
It appears when the enamel that protects your teeth
becomes thinner, or when a gingival retraction occurs, which exposes the
dentine and thus reduces the protection that the enamel and gums provide to the
tooth and its root.
Brushing your teeth properly every
day for 2 minutes with sensitive toothpaste that does not contain a lot of
abrasives and use flossing every day can help reduce the risk of teeth
sensitivity. A diet low in acidic foods and
drinks can also help prevent teeth sensitivity.In addition to
recommending a toothpaste with low abrasives, your dentist may prescribe a
fluoride gel or a fluoride mouthwash, or a fluoride-rich toothpaste specially
formulated to make your teeth less sensitive and provide additional protection
Against caries. Other treatments, such as fluoride
varnish, can be applied to the teeth to provide additional protection.
