Acidic foods and drinks will eat away at your enamel – sodas, cit
rus, fruits, and even acid reflux. There are also some toothpastes that may further aggravate your nerves if you already have some sensitivity. The way that you brush your teeth can also be a factor – use a soft bristle brush, gently, versus using a hard bristle brush (which could wear your tooth enamel).
There are several options to treat your teeth – some that can be performed in your dentist’s office, and others that you can perform from home. Your dentist can apply a desensitizing agent or a protective coating to your teeth to help protect the sensitivity from reaching your nerves and causing pain.
There are also several toothpastes that contain a desensitizing agent that you can use at home. Although this won’t be an immediate cure and will take time before it starts working, it also keeps you from using other toothpastes that could be even harder on your teeth.
