But <strong>when you have sensitive teeth<\/strong>, your favorite foods and beverages can turn against you. Even sour foods and cold weather can drive you crazy!<\/p>\n<p>Sensitive teeth are a common problem. <strong>Here are four great tips<\/strong> for easing the discomfort:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#1: Check Your Brushing Technique<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the problem is that you\u2019re actually TOO enthusiastic with your routine care. If you\u2019re brushing too much or too hard, it can contribute to receding gums. When gums recede, sensitive areas of your teeth are exposed. Always brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush gently in a circular motion without sawing back-and-forth.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2: Minimize Acidic Foods &amp; Drinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One major culprit in an over-acidic diet is soft drinks\u2014but sports\/energy drinks, fruit juices, and sour candies can also contribute. Acid erodes your tooth enamel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Detailed Info About The Causes Of Tooth Sensitivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>#3: Consider Changing Your Toothpaste<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Do you use a whitening toothpaste? Check the usage instructions. Whitening toothpastes can be more abrasive which can contribute to sensitivity. If your teeth are hurting, try a toothpaste specially formulated for sensitive teeth instead.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#4: Come Visit With Us!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing continued sensitivity, we should take a look. Receding gums can be a sign of gum disease. Sensitivity could also indicate a cavity, or be a warning that you\u2019re grinding your teeth at night. To be sure it\u2019s <em>not<\/em> a serious problem it may be necessary for us to take a look.<\/p>\n<h4>Thanks for your trust in our practice.
