Home Remedies for Tooth Sensitivity

In addition to medical treatments, some home remedies may help you alleviate discomfort and pain caused by teeth sensitivity. Common options may include:

– Visit your dentist at least two times per year for regular check-ups

– Reduce the consumption of acidic foods and beverages

– If you have a habit of grinding your teeth, consider wearing a mouthguard during sleep

– Do not brush your teeth within 30 to 60 minutes after a meal to avoid a loss of enamel

– Use a toothpaste specially made for tooth sensitivity

– Use a toothbrush with soft bristles to reduce abrasiveness

– Avoid brushing the teeth from side to side. Instead, use circular, small movements to brush the teeth to minimize abrasiveness

– Get enough minerals and vitamins, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, and calcium to protect dental health. [9]
