What could be done to manage sensitivity in teeth?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a tooth sensitivity problem. I have been suffering from this problem for the last two months. I am unable to drink water either. I tried many sensitivity toothpaste, but it does not work properly. Please suggest me a proper drug or suggestion for instant relief.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Tooth sensitivity happens due to many reasons, and it may be because of cavities in teeth. For instant relief, you need to use desensitized toothpaste, but as you are saying it is not working, then you should visit a dentist and get an X-ray done. They will find whether there is a cavity or not. If not they will suggest cleaning which will cure your teeth. If there is a cavity either they will perform a simple restoration procedure or if the cavity is big, then they will perform root canal treatment as it will save the affected tooth structure.
Also, if you have any habit of grinding teeth then stop this habit from now because this also causes sensitivity in your teeth. For now, I suggest you try burned clove for relief. Swallow it without crushing, or you can put extra virgin coconut oil in your mouth for one to two minutes then spit them with warm water. Hope this will temporarily cure the problem. I suggest you visit a dentist soon.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
