Introduction
Teeth sensitivity is a common condition where one may feel sharp pain or pain while having hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks. Millions of people experience it every day. Conventional treatment will surely provide relief to patients, but most of them cause side effects. Homeopathy, with its holistic and natural approach, holds much promise for patients who want comfort in the long run.
What Causes Teeth Sensitivity?
Teeth sensitivity results from various causes such as:
- Enamel Erosion: The dentine on the tooth has the enamel wearing away in some places through acidic food items or drinks.
- Recession: When gum pulls back it exposes some parts of the roots as very sensitive
- Aggressive Brushing: the brushing can remove the layer with force, thereby making some areas on the teeth tender to the toothbrush’s strokes
- Dental Conditions: Some dental issues like cavities, fractures, or broken fillings.
What are the main symptoms of Teeth Sensitivity?
Now, knowing the signs of teeth sensitivity will be of assistance in appropriate treatment. The most common symptoms include:
- Sharp Pain or Discomfort: Symptoms may appear when hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and beverages are consumed.
- Sensitivity to Cold Air: Inhaling cold air may cause discomfort.
- Pain During Brushing or Flossing:: Normal oral hygiene activities may cause sensitivity in pain.
Conventional Medicine Approach
Traditional drugs for teeth sensitivity are usually administered as follows:
- Desensitizing Toothpaste: It often contains active ingredients such as potassium nitrate and fluoride, commonly used in sensitive toothpaste.
- Fluoride varnishes: Your dentist will brush fluoride varnishes on to hardness your enamel and reduce sensitivity
- Dental Procedures: where the cause of the sensitivity is deep-seated your dentist may intervene through bonding, filling, or even root canal treatment
Possible side effects of those interventions include temporary ease, discoloration, or allergic reaction.
