Fighting Tooth Sensitivity during Winter.

When you’re suffering from sensitive teeth, the cold winter air can make your teeth particularly painful.

Before you lock yourself indoors until spring, here are some tips to help you battle against tooth sensitivities:
Make a dental appointment.

While some tooth sensitivities may be temporary, it’s best to see your dentist if you’re feeling any pain or discomfort. Your dentist may find out if your tooth pain is a cavity, worn tooth enamel or an exposed root.

You could need a root canal, or maybe you simply need to start using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. Either way, don’t wait and suffer needlessly.

Try not to over brush. Many people suffer from sensitive teeth because they are brushing too hard, which cause fractures in tooth enamel. This causes your teeth to become sensitive to both hot and cold temperatures, including beverages and cold winter wind.

Cut out soda and acidic food and drinks. Soda, wine and other beverages can trigger your tooth pain. To keep liquids away from your sensitive teeth, try drinking with a straw.

Reduce your risk of developing sensitive teeth by practicing proper oral care each day. Brush your teeth twice a day and use a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Visit your dentist twice a year for regular check-ups to clean your teeth and check for any early tooth erosion, gum disease or other dental conditions that contribute to tooth sensitivities.
