Causes of Tooth Sensitivity

5/26/2015

Tooth Sensitivity
Often times when we eat something cold or hot, we feel a strong sensation at the deep of our tooth. This is called tooth sensitivity. You can feel the same while sipping a cold drink or while having a tea. Many people experience the same feeling when they brush or floss their teeth. There are some tips that you can use to lower the sensitivity at the tooth. Prolonged sensitivity that is not reported to the dentist may lead to damaged tooth. According to Dr. Ronda, dentist Downtown Edmonton, the sensitivity can be minimized by using some of the techniques and can save your trip to the Dental clinic facilities. Here are some tips.

  • Use The Right Brush And Technique
Many people have misconception that if they are going to use hard brush for brushing, then it will clean their teeth in a much effective manner. Contrary to popular belief, using the hard brush can damage your gums and may wear down the protective layers of the teeth. There are many microscopic canals and hollow tubes that run along the nerves of the teeth and you need to be careful with the way you brush your teeth. When the tubules of the teeth are exposed, they cause sensitivity in the tooth. Always use a soft bristle brush and brush in a gentle strokes and manner. You can get the techniques of brushing at the good Dental clinic facilities where the dentist will guide you towards the right way of brushing.

  • Avoid Acidic Foods
Lower down the intake of the acidic foods like Sauce, lemon, kiwis, grapefruit and pickles. They result in sensitivity and will cause you more pain. Stick to the foods that have lower acidic content.

  • Don't Grind The Teeth
Many people have a habit of grinding their teeth while talking or while eating the food. Grinding the teeth will cause damage to the enamel and will eventually expose the dentin that is the middle layer of the tooth. The middle layer consists of the tubes that lead to the nerves of the teeth. When they are exposed, you feel sensitivity when you eat anything. Take the help of the dentist to get a mouth guard that will prevent you to grind your teeth. The guard can be custom made to fit your mouth perfectly.

  • Don't Use Tooth Whitening Products
Many tooth whitening products that are available in the market use chemicals to bleach the teeth. Most people have more sensitive teeth and using these products will make the teeth more prone to damage.

  • Stay Away From Using Too Much Mouthwash
Just like the whitening products, the mouthwash and rinses that are available in the market have alcohol content and other chemical compositions that harm the teeth in the prolonged usage. If you are using mouthwash more than necessary, then it will make your teeth more sensitive. Try fluoride rinses and stick to brushing and flossing to have fresh breath.

Injuries that need emergency dental services

Whenever you experience severe trauma to your mouth or teeth, you should look for emergency dental services right away. In case, you overlook the signals that something might be wrong and you simply take pain killers to stop the pain and discomfort, you must know that you are increasing the risks of having permanent and severe dental problems. In addition, you should keep in mind that if you don't treat your dental problems on time, that will lead to severe problems, which will require more extensive and expensive treatments.

Severe tooth pain is one the most common dental problems. If the pain associated with swollen gums then it is most likely that you have an infection. The tooth aches are generally caused due to dental caries, which is a bacterial disease that leads to demineralization of the tooth. In this problem the pain will not go away just by pain killers, the relief is only possible when the pus is drained, by opening the tooth canal. Thus it is important to visit dentist immediately. In addition, jaw pain, tooth aches or experiencing pain while chewing are also considered emergencies.

Chipped, knocked or broken teeth are a few more emergency dental problems that need treatment immediately. If you have a broken tooth, then it is very essential that you save as much of it as possible. As, this dental problem is generally accompanied by bleeding, visiting a dentist immediately is a must. If the tooth is fully knocked out, do not throw it away, but instead wash it under water, without removing any tissue from it. As it will be difficult to place it back in by yourself, you will have to see a professional ASAP, in order to increase your chances of reattaching it.

As per emergency dentistry magazines, it the tooth is put back in its socket within an hour, it has the huge possibility of being saved. However, these are the most common emergency dental issues that will need the immediate help of a dentist; broken braces wires, lost crowns, dislodged teeth etc. also fall under the category of dental emergencies.

We are dental clinic in Edmonton who provides emergency dental care for those that are in pain. We are reputed Edmonton dentist and our clinics are open Sunday.

The best way to improve the whiteness of your teeth and the sparkle of you smile is the right oral health. However, due to the hectic schedules and working hours, many of us are not able to take good care of our teeth and it takes a toll on out oral health. As we all know, the right smile gives a lasting impression and the stranger is more unlikely to guess your age if you have a shiny smile. A smile that is with yellow tint teeth is sure to put off many people. Fortunately, you have many options to make your smile sparkling with the hint of bright white teeth. Here is how.

  • Flossing

Many people fail to understand the importance of flossing and after brushing the teeth, they don't do it at all. According to Dr. Connelly, Smile Dental Sherwood Park, who is also a contributor in the weekly Huffington post, suggests flossing after every meal to get rid of all the food deposits between your gums and teeth. These deposits attract bacterial formation that tends to make your teeth pale.

  • Have More Calcium And Vitamin C Intake

Many Dentist recommend having more calcium intake in your diet for healthy teeth. Eating a diet that has the right proportion of calcium and vitamin C supplements will give you all the teeth fortifying nutrients and will aid in your oral care. You can always consult Edmonton dentist downtown for the right oral health diet.

  • Eat Right Food

For the right oral care, you have to avoid junk food and sodas. Many dental clinics have mentioned eating low sugary foods that may have ill effects on the teeth in the long run. You also need to cut down your intake on candies, and high citrus soda drinks. They weaken the enamel of the teeth on continuous intake and may result in decay and discoloration.

  • Professional Bleaching

If you have too much paleness in the teeth, then you can try out the professional bleaching to make your teeth white again. It's a faster and the most effective way to have whiter teeth. However, you need to get it done under an expert supervision as too much of it can have an adverse effect on your oral health. It is recommended that you contact Edmonton dentist downtown for the process.

  • Do It Yourself Cleaner

You can also try DIY cleaner at home for the whitening of teeth. There are many whitening strips available in the market that can be used to make the shade of your teeth lighter. You can also try the toothpastes that remove the spots and the stains from the teeth, giving you a whiter shade. It is always recommended to contact your dentist before using any such products and taking a right guidance from the dentist on these products. A dentist can guide you in a lot better way towards a bright healthy smile.
