Sensitive Teeth
Tooth sensitivity is a dental issue experienced by many Ghanaians. If your tooth aches after eating or drinking cold or hot food, then you might have a sensitive tooth.
A sensitive tooth means more than just a pain in the mouth. It connotes another dental issue compromising your oral health. Hence, if you think you have a sensitive tooth, schedule a dental appointment with St Paull’s Dentist right away, we can help resolve your dental issue.
The pulp chamber and canals of the tooth are then cleaned and sealed. If the infected pulp is not removed, pain and swelling can result, and your tooth may have to be removed.
Common Causes of Tooth Sensitivity
- TreatmentExposed roots from receded gums
- Gum disease
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Tooth decay
- Nerve damage
- Damaged dental restoration (dental crowns, fillings, inlays/onlays)
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Poor dental hygiene
- Worn tooth enamel from aggressive brushing
- Tooth erosion from acidic food and drinks
- Recent dental work (teeth whitening, dental crowns, tooth coloured fillings, dental veneers)
The following might be recommended for you:
- Maintain good oral hygiene. Keeping good oral hygiene habits is an effective way of making sure that your oral health is at its best.
- Always follow your dentist’s advice.
- Schedule regular dental check-ups to keep tabs on your teeth’s status.
- Check your diet. Be mindful of what you eat. Choose mouth-friendly foods and avoid acidic foods and drinks. Search the web for calcium-rich foods and detergent foods.
- Brush the right way. Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush or switch to an electronic brush. Brush your teeth gently and thoroughly. Rigorous brushing doesn’t remove more plaque; it actually damages your teeth.
