Routine brushing and flossing using the proper technique is one of the first steps to minimizing tooth sensitivity because it prevents decay and recession. You also need to make sure not to brush too hard against your tooth or your gums. This can lead to abrasion or gum recession, exposing the second layer of the tooth\u2019s surface &#8211; dentin &#8211; and causing tooth sensitivity from nerve stimulation in the dentin layer. Using a soft bristle toothbrush also helps prevent and minimize tooth sensitivity.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you are already experiencing sensitivity, using a special toothpaste, such as Sensodyne, or a prescription fluoride toothpaste can help minimise the discomfort. If tooth sensitivity lingers and\/or occurs spontaneously, you may be experiencing a serious dental problem such as a cavity or a broken tooth. In these cases, it is best to see a dentist to evaluate your tooth and receive the appropriate treatment.<\/p>    <p><strong>Dr Roselyn Oji, DDS<\/strong><\/p>    <p>        <\/div>      <\/div>          <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to fix sensitive teeth for good<\/h3>    <p>If you\u2019re looking for a complete cure for sensitive teeth, your dentist will probably have the answer.

This includes brushing regularly and correctly, flossing, and using toothpaste for sensitive teeth (with at least 1350ppm of fluoride) every day. Most <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/oral-hygiene\/best-toothpaste\/\" target=\"_blank\">toothpaste brands in the UK<\/a> meet this requirement. <\/p>    <p>Keep up with regular dentist visits so they can spot cavities or gum problems early on and offer you the most appropriate treatment.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are my teeth so sensitive?<\/h3>    <p>Sensitive gums and teeth are caused by the wearing away of the hard enamel coating of your teeth or by their roots getting uncovered. If the sensitivity feels extreme, consult your dentist. You might have a cavity, infection or gum disease. They will check your teeth and identify any underlying problems that need to be treated.<\/p>    <p>Any tooth decay or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/gingivitis-treatment-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gum disease treatment<\/a> you receive may also help reduce tooth sensitivity.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get rid of sensitive teeth?<\/h3>    <p>You can decrease how sensitive your teeth are by using toothpaste and mouthwashes designed to protect and strengthen your tooth enamel. For a complete cure, you will need to visit a dentist. They may provide bonding, a gum graft, a filling, or possibly root canal treatment.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I have sensitive teeth in early pregnancy?<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-8931\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/08\/teeth-sensitive-to-heat-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"teeth sensitive when pregnant\" class=\"wp-image-8931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/08\/teeth-sensitive-to-heat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/08\/teeth-sensitive-to-heat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/08\/teeth-sensitive-to-heat.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sensitivity may be heightened when pregnant<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>It is completely normal to have <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/sensitive-teeth\/sensitive-teeth-pregnancy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"30307\" target=\"_blank\">sensitive teeth in pregnancy<\/a>. Because of changes in hormones, your teeth become more susceptible to plaque and this makes gum disease more likely, causing sensitivity. The good news is that dentistry is free on the NHS for pregnant women and those who have given birth in the last year, so visit a dentist to make sure your teeth stay healthy.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will I get sensitive teeth from whitening products?<\/h3>    <p>It is possible to develop sensitive teeth after whitening them, either with a home kit or at the dentist. <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I have a sensitive tooth after a filling?<\/h3>    <p>A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/sensitive-teeth\/teeth-sensitive-after-filling\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"29967\" target=\"_blank\">sensitive tooth after a filling<\/a> isn\u2019t uncommon and it should subside by itself after a few days. The most likely reason for the sensitivity is that a nerve ending in the tooth has been disturbed. After it has had time to heal, it should feel normal again. If you continue to experience sensitivity for more than two weeks after getting a filling, then contact your dentist.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li
