You\u2019d like to stop these bouts of uncomfortable jolts, but your budget is a little tight right now. Are there any cost-effective methods you can implement into your everyday life to help the situation? Your dentist in Plano says, \u201cYes!\u201d Read on to find out 3 ways to effectively respond to tooth sensitivity and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prestonbenddental.com\/\">prevent<\/a> future flare-ups!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>#1 \u2013 Chew Sugarless Gum<\/h2>\r\nThe primary cause for tooth sensitivity is enamel wear. This hard outer layer of material has no nerves, so if you\u2019re experiencing tooth sensitivity, it means a portion of your dentin (which has nerve activity) that lies beneath the enamel is being affected.\r\n\r\nIf you typically chew gum, then you may consider switching to a sugarless brand. That\u2019s because sugar attracts oral bacteria, which can aid in exposing more dentin.\r\n<h2>#2 \u2013 Use a Different Type of Toothpaste<\/h2>\r\nAnother option for responding to tooth sensitivity is to switch to toothpaste that is formulated for sensitive teeth. Usually, this type of product will contain less abrasives and anti-sensitivity ingredients.\r\n\r\nIn addition to changing the type of toothpaste used, you may also consider purchasing a toothbrush with softer bristles. Then, when you\u2019re brushing your teeth, be sure to use caution to limit damage to your enamel.\r\n<h2>#3 \u2013 Make Diet Changes<\/h2>\r\nMaking changes in your diet can also significantly reduce tooth sensitivity. Here are some key pointers worth implementing:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Maintain a diet higher in protein-rich foods like eggs, poultry and fish. These items also contain a substantial amount of phosphorous, a mineral that is important in the maintenance of healthy tooth enamel.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>You can also incorporate more tea into your beverage consumption. As a natural suppliant of fluoride, it can help to strengthen your enamel and prevent premature wear.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Don\u2019t Forget About Your Dentist<\/h2>\r\nWhile all of the above are cost-effective ways to address tooth sensitivity, the best route to take is to visit your family dentist to be examined. The American Dental Association recommends that you receive a cleaning and checkup every six months to maintain excellent oral health.\r\n\r\nThese visits, which only take around an hour of your time, provide the most cost-effective way to identify any unfavorable developments early so they can be \u201cnipped in the bud\u201d before they can mushroom into bigger problems. To have the peace-of-mind of knowing your oral health is protected, reach out to your family dentist in Plano to schedule a visit today!\r\n\r\n<strong>About the Author <\/strong>\r\n\r\nA graduate of the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, Dr. Anita Madhav brings a fervor and drive to her office every day, which allows her to help patients realize their best oral health.
