Tooth sensitivity is a common discomfort that can cause sharp, brief pain when consuming cold, hot, sour or sweet foods. It occurs when the enamel of the teeth wears away, exposing the dentin and its nerve endings. From YOTUEL, we give you some tips to prevent and care for sensitive gums.
Tips to prevent tooth sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity affects 1 in 5 adults and can be caused by several factors, such as erosion, aggressive brushing, the acidity of foods and drinks, and more. Take note of some tips to take care of your mouth:
- Maintain rigorous oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes, using circular movements and a soft-bristled brush. This prevents plaque buildup and sensitivity.
- Use soft bristle brushes: Use soft bristle brushes to prevent wear on the polish. Vigorous brushing can damage gums and worsen sensitivity.
- Desensitising toothpastes: Opt for toothpastes designed for dental sensitivity, such as those you will find in our range of Yotuel toothpastes.
- Limit acidic foods: Reduce consumption of acidic foods and drinks, such as citrus fruits and soft drinks. Acidity can wear away enamel and expose dentin.
- Control bruxism: If you clench or grind your teeth involuntarily, you could be wearing down the enamel. Consult your dentist for solutions.
- Avoid harmful habits: Avoid chewing hard or metal objects that can damage enamel, as well as sugars, tobacco or other substances that cause problems.
- Visit your dentist regularly: Maintaining regular appointments with your dentist is essential for preventing and addressing dental problems, including sensitivity.
