When suffering from tooth sensitivity, many people often ask themselves the question: "What medicine to take for tooth sensitivity?". However, it is not always used when having tooth sensitivity. So what is the most appropriate treatment when suffering from tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity (sensitive teeth) can occur when encountering the following factors:
Foods and drinks that are too hot or cold Foods that have a sweet or sour taste When you breathe in an environment cold temperature

Here are ways that you can apply to prevent tooth sensitivity as well as reduce tooth sensitivity.
Reasonable oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day: morning and night before going to bed. To ensure oral hygiene, you should use fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash. Brushing with warm water 30-40 degrees Celsius can limit toothache. Each time you finish eating, you can use dental floss to help remove plaque on the sides of the teeth when a toothbrush can't.
Follow a scientific diet: Do not use acidic drinks, especially carbonated water, tomato juice, oranges, lemons. Avoid very hot or cold foods. Eating too much hot spicy food will make the enamel thin, leading to sensitivity of the lower teeth.
Instead, foods high in fiber such as fresh fruits such as bananas and apples will help your body replenish essential minerals against the process of causing tooth sensitivity.
Increase calcium supplements: Many dental problems stem from a lack of calcium. To supplement calcium for the body, you can use calcium-rich foods such as butter, milk or green vegetables such as broccoli, almonds and dried beans.

To improve the sensitivity of your teeth, you can use toothpaste to reduce sensitivity, in addition, some dentists will provide you with a method of applying fluoride, using glue on your teeth or in case of a toothache. If the surface of your tooth is severely damaged, a laser treatment may be used.
Especially when there are signs of tooth sensitivity, you should go to reputable specialist facilities to be examined and given appropriate treatment to avoid possible dangerous complications.
