Tooth sensitivity can cause anything from mild discomfort to sharp pain. Learning about the most common causes of this problem can help you prevent it.
Key takeaways:
- Using tooth whitening products that contain harsh chemicals.
- The long-term use of an over-the-counter mouthwash. Neutral fluoride mouthwashes or those recommended by a dentist are a better option
- Teeth grinding, which you may be doing without realising or while you sleep.
You may also experience tooth sensitivity after certain dental procedures, but this usually goes away on its own.
If you have tooth sensitivity, talk to your dentist about it to get the right treatment.
