Watching it get hot, are you already stirring about ice cream and big watermelons? But when you take the first bite with full expectation, you may petrify on the spot-oh my god, your teeth are so sour!
To us, teeth are probably the kind of [those who cannot get them are always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear]. They usually have good teeth and don’t care much about them, but once something goes wrong…
Hot and cold, sweet and sour, are tests.
Dr. Clove invited Dr. He from the Department of Stomatology today. He will talk to you about the sensitive teeth.
Why are teeth sensitive?
Teeth are sensitive, often because fragile dental nerves are stimulated.
In most cases, the enamel and dentin on the teeth will [protect] the dental nerve from disturbance, but if this [protective shell] is damaged for various reasons, the dental nerve will be exposed and the teeth will become sensitive.
When will dental nerves be mercilessly exposed in life?
Are your teeth sensitive in what?
There are many reasons for tooth wear, and there are 3 common ones in life:
1. Brush your teeth too hard or the bristles of your toothbrush are too hard.
If you brush your teeth for a long time [violently], your teeth will naturally wear out gradually, which makes it difficult to protect your dental nerves.
This is like you take a file to clean the wall, those scratches left on the wall, think about all love dearly ah.
2. [bite] too hard
If you don’t bite well, it is also likely to cause more serious tooth wear, such as…
- Like to bite hard things, such as hard candy and hard nuts; Have the habit of grinding teeth; Often unconsciously gritted their teeth.
You see, there are still many mysteries in such a little trick.
3. Got tooth decay, periodontitis and other dental diseases
Tooth decay and periodontitis both make it easier for external stimuli to enter the teeth and cause sensitivity.
4. Being old… … …
This reason is beyond our control either. As we get older, the teeth get older, and there may be more problems.
What if your teeth are sensitive?
At first, tooth sensitivity appears, and the situation may be relatively mild. At this time, you can take some small measures to save it, such as:
1. Stay away from supercooling or overheating
Can’t we hide without being provoked?
If you really can’t stand brushing your teeth with cold water, then use warm water to help relieve the symptoms. If you can’t eat ice cream, then bear it for a while and don’t eat it first. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, it is different from salted fish in what.
Well, no stimulation, no harm.
Step 2 Don’t brush your teeth too hard
If the bristles of the toothbrush are hard or brush your teeth harder, it is recommended to use a soft bristle toothbrush. Don’t brush your teeth so hard and avoid brushing horizontally.
3. If necessary, you can have an occlusal pad.
If you always have the habit of grinding your teeth, you can also have a soft occlusal pad to wear when you sleep.
Step 4 Use desensitized toothpaste
For people with slight tooth sensitivity, it will be helpful to use special desensitizing toothpaste.
At this time, you can brush your teeth with desensitized toothpaste first. If it is more serious, you can also apply desensitized toothpaste directly to sensitive teeth.
Note that desensitization toothpaste only has certain effects on people with mild symptoms. If it is very sensitive, it is necessary to consider the next step…
5. Seek the help of a dentist
If the situation is very serious, of course it is time to find a doctor! The doctor will give appropriate coping methods according to your situation, such as filling teeth and making porcelain teeth.
In addition to the teeth themselves, doctors may also check your gingival tissue to determine whether there is periodontitis and take corresponding treatment measures.
Finally, Dr. Clove would like to say that teeth are actually [strong in appearance and fragile in heart]. Usually, you should be better to them. Ice cream, cold drinks, nuts, hot soup, hard candy, what, eat less… Of course, food cannot be wasted. What you cannot eat, it is good to give it to your friends. It is perfect.
