ARE YOU READY FOR A \u201cSENSITIVE\u201d DISCUSSION?<\/strong> A sensitive teeth discussion, that is…<\/p>\n

Here at Lake Oconee Dentistry<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, we realize that this isn\u2019t an ongoing problem for a lot of our patients. However, it is for some. And, it\u2019s almost certainly a periodic problem for most people.<\/p>\n

Dr. David Bradley<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> reminds us, \u201cTooth sensitivity can come from many things including sweet or sour foods and hot or cold temperatures. For some, simply biting down can hurt. The resulting pain can be mild to severe\u2014and sometimes very sharp, shooting directly to tooth nerve endings.\u201d<\/em>Regardless of the level of pain, tooth sensitivity is not pleasant.<\/strong> If the pain is long lasting or severe, you should probably make an appointment<\/a><\/strong> to visit with us. If the pain is minor and\/or very occasional, here are a few basic things you can do to help prevent sensitivity:<\/p>\n

Proper Brushing<\/h3>\n

Keeping up great oral hygiene prevents tarter buildup. This helps reduce the risk of exposing nerves. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush causes less abrasion and reduces potential gum recession. There are also several brands of toothpaste that, with regular use, help decrease sensitivity.<\/p>\n

Fluoridated Mouthwashes<\/h3>\n

Daily use of a fluoridated mouthwash can decrease sensitivity.<\/p>\n

Avoid Highly Acidic Foods And Drinks<\/h3>\n

Highly acidic foods and drinks can contribute to the dissolving of tooth enamel, which in turn can increase sensitivity. Limit such items\u2014including many sports drinks.<\/strong> It can also help to rinse your mouth with water after eating or drinking acidic items.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Clinch Or Grind Your Teeth<\/h3>\n

Teeth grinding and clenching can also lead to enamel wear, which can cause sensitivity (and a host of other problems). Visit with Dr. Patti or Dr. David or Dr. Phil Boswell<\/a><\/strong> if you suspect this is a problem you need help with.<\/p>\n

As always… Our sincere thanks for the trust you place in our practice. Here at Lake Oconee Dentistry<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, we want to be your greatest information resource for preventing and solving tooth sensitivity issues.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a short video you\u2019ll enjoy about this topic.<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you during your next visit!<\/h3>\n
