How to Relieve Tooth Sensitivity at Home
Tooth sensitivity can make eating and drinking uncomfortable — but there are ways to ease the discomfort.
Try these tips to manage sensitivity at home:
Use Sensitive Toothpaste: Products made for sensitive teeth help block pain signals to the nerves.
Brush Gently: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid scrubbing hard.
Avoid Acidic Foods: Citrus, soft drinks, and vinegar-based items can wear down enamel.
Fluoride Rinse: Strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don’t jump from hot to cold drinks or foods too quickly.
If sensitivity persists, it could be a sign of an underlying issue like gum recession or a cracked tooth — it’s best to get it checked by your dentist.
