Question 1

How do you stop sensitive teeth pain?

Accepted Answer

You want to find the source of sensitivity before treatment recommendations. But until you see your dentist there are a few remedies you can try at home.

Look for desensitizing toothpaste.
Gargle with a saltwater rinse twice a day. It's a simple mixture of ½ to ¾ tsp of salt to one glass of lukewarm water.
Take two caps of three percent hydrogen peroxide to equal parts warm water. Rinse mouth for 30 seconds. Rinse with water after to remove any residual hydrogen peroxide.
Rinse with a spoonful of honey and warm water.
Massage ground turmeric directly on sensitive teeth. You also mix one tsp turmeric, ½ tsp sale, and ½ tsp mustard oil into a past. Apply to teeth and gums to alleviate pain.
Use unsweetened green tea twice a day as a mouthwash to reduce inflammation.
Use capsaicin as a topical gel or as a rinse. There may be initial burning, but it soon reduces pain symptoms.
Vanilla extra is often used to treat teething pain in babies. For sensitive teeth, place vanilla extract on a cotton ball. Apply the cotton to the gums for several minutes. Repeat as needed.

Question 2

What is the Best Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth and Receding Gums?

Accepted Answer

What is the best for very sensitive teeth? Well, there is no definitive answer because there is no best toothpaste for all sensitive teeth. First, we have to establish why you suffer the condition. This is best done with your dentist. You may need a prescribed toothpaste to manage the situation.

We looked at and tried quite a few toothpastes and different toothpastes work for different people, however, the one that worked for most users and got the most positive feedback had to be our top pick: Sensodyne

Dentists may ask you to change brushing habits or suggest a specific kind of OTC toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Last, the clinician may discover you suffer from a dental disease that requires specific treatment.

Question 3

Is Colgate Sensitive as good as Sensodyne?

Accepted Answer

There are no significant differences between the two top-sensitive teeth brands. Both are desensitizing toothpaste and offer impressive results for soothing pain. Sensodyne may be the more popular of the brands, but that doesn't make one better than the other. Colgate Sensitive does have something of an edge when reducing dentin hypersensitivity, but that's about it. We suggest you try both, compare the results, crown the winner.

Question 4

Can I prevent tooth sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

What you ideally want to do is prevent sensitivity altogether. It's not always possible, but here are a few prevention methods that may help.

- Maintain effective oral hygiene to keep your mouth and teeth healthy and clean.
- To prevent the dissolution of tooth enamel, limit the intake of acidic foods and beverages.

- If you grind your teeth during the night, use a mouthguard.

- Avoid hard brushes. It's best to use soft brushes (unless advised otherwise by a dental professional) to minimize abrasions and irritation.

- Schedule and stick to your regular dental appointments.
