Sensitive Sore Teeth Treatment in Lahore

Tooth sensitivity and pain can be highly uncomfortable. Fortunately, there are available remedies. Causes include tooth decay, fractures, abscesses, receding gums, and poor oral hygiene. Tooth sensitivity can vary, and it’s best to consult a dentist before it worsens. Treatment options include avoiding certain foods, using specialized toothpaste and toothbrushes, and receiving procedures such as fillings, root canals, crowns and tooth extractions .

  • You are in pain
  • Pain lasts longer than a day or two
  • The pain is severe or unbearable

Teeth Grinding Treatment

Symptoms of Sensitive Teeth:

Pain or discomfort often signals a more severe issue. It may vary or worsen gradually. Chewing can cause sharp pain, while hot or cold liquids may increase the discomfort. Sweet or acidic foods can also heighten sensitivity or tooth soreness.

Cold air or mouth breathing can sometimes worsen sensitivity or pain. Tooth sensitivity occurs when the inner dentin layer is exposed due to enamel wear on the outer layer.

Causes of Teeth Grinding:

One of the primary causes of tooth sensitivity is unprotected dentine. There are several possible causes for this. Common causes include plaque buildup, dental decay, receding gums, chips in your tooth, and gum disease. Additional factors include:

  • Acidic food, drink or mouthwash
  • Bruxism, or grinding and clenching your teeth
  • Brushing your teeth too hard
  • Some tooth whitening products

To maintain good oral health, maintain regular dental and hygienist appointments. We all occasionally need reminders of the best oral hygiene practices.

Get Prepared:

When you schedule an appointment at SmileOn for sensitive or uncomfortable teeth, your primary goal is alleviating your suffering. Understanding what information your dentist will need for an accurate diagnosis and treatment is important.

Usually, your dentist will inquire about your medical history before thoroughly examining your oral, dental, jaw, tongue, throat, sinus, ear, nose, and neck areas. Sometimes, an X-ray may be necessary based on your dentist’s assessment of the underlying cause.

Your dentist will ask you questions about the pain, such as:

  • When did the pain start?
  • How severe is it?
  • Where do you feel sensitivity?
  • What makes it worse?
  • What makes it better?

Before to your appointment, consider your responses to these questions. Preparation can hasten the diagnosis.
