What is the treatment for sensitive teeth?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

To eliminate sensitivity immediately, you need to do warm salt water rinsing a couple of times a day. That will help keep dental infections at bay.

You will need to get large cavities filled. Small cavities can be prevented from further progression by using anti-decay toothpaste, which I can suggest based on where you are getting sensitivity in the upper or lower tooth?

I would help to resolve your issue and recommend suitable anti-decay toothpaste to arrest dental caries from progressing further.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

If sensitivity is in the lower front teeth, you can use a Potassium Nitrate toothpaste. The toothpaste brands will vary locally. You can order online or buy from a pharmacy. The main element should be Potassium Nitrate 5 %. It would be best if you brushed only once daily at night and in the morning, you can use regular toothpaste.

Secondly, if the molar (back) teeth are sensitive, it needs to be filled (in almost 90 % of the cases) because there will be caries in the molar surfaces.

When you have time, at the earliest, get a dental check-up done for small or large fillings that might be causing your sensitivity.

I suggest you rinse your mouth with warm salt water five to six times daily.

You may also start using a Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Monophosphate, or Sodium Floride mouthwash at night.

You can avoid Clohex (Chlorhexidine, Sodium Fluoride, and Zinc Chloride) mouthwash for a while, as long-term use causes tooth staining.

Thank you.
