If you’re noticing serious dental sensitivity, then the number one thing you should follow through on immediately is as follows: Call our practice, set up a visit to see our friendly faces, and allow us to examine your oral structures to get to the bottom of your discomfort. Of course, this will provide you with some relief in knowing you’ll have answers very soon. However, until you actually see us, you may wonder: What can you do in the meantime for immediate relief? Try some easy tips.
Ease Up On The Brush And Floss
Your brush and floss should move through your mouth with easy, gentle motions. If you think you may be guilty of brushing or flossing that’s too hard, too quick, too forceful, etc., then remember as you go: Dental sensitivity is often caused by care that’s too harsh. Ease up!
Try That Sensitivity Toothpaste
Your toothpaste right now is not doing anything to block dental sensitivity. Though it won’t work immediately to numb dental tissues, it will likely begin offering relief by the time you come in to see our team. Make the change to toothpaste with a formula that helps with sensitive teeth, so you’re on the road toward less discomfort.
Avoid The Extremes
What you don’t want to do when you have dental sensitivity, of course, is make matters worse! Remember that an uncomfortable smile is made worse with extremes, such as the following, which are easy to avoid until your next visit:
- Don’t eat very hard or crunchy foods
- Don’t eat foods high in sugars or acids
- Avoid extremely hot foods
- Avoid extremely cold foods
- Skip the spicy foods
