Tips for treating toothache caused by cold or heat

Whenever we eat something that is too cold or too hot, our teeth will become very sensitive and cause some pain. This is actually tooth sensitivity. It's not just the temperature of the food. When encountering some sour or spicy food, the teeth will also have some discomfort. In fact, there are many ways to improve tooth sensitivity. Here we will introduce some tips.

For tooth sensitivity, you can brush your teeth with a desensitizing toothpaste at home, such as Lengshenling toothpaste or desensitizing gel, 3 times a day for 3 minutes each time. You can also chew tea leaves or walnut kernels, which also have a certain effect on dental and maxillofacial allergies. If the symptoms are not relieved, you can go to the oral department for desensitization treatment. The effect of desensitization treatment cannot be seen once or twice, and it is recommended to treat it several times. If this doesn't work, you may have to consider pulp extraction.

Dentin sensitivity is mainly divided into two categories. One is the tooth wear type caused by occlusion, caries, etc., and the other is caused by gum recession causing tooth root exposure. Dentin sensitivity can occur alone or as a symptom of other dental diseases or systemic diseases, such as severe wedge-shaped defects in the cervical region, tooth erosion, tooth wear, enamel trauma and fracture, etc., which expose the dentin and lead to dentin sensitivity. There are also a small number of people who may experience symptoms similar to dentin hypersensitivity due to increased systemic irritability due to long-term exposure to chemical environments, insomnia, neurosis, pregnant women during menstruation or lactation, or after oral and maxillofacial radiation treatment. Therefore, once dentin sensitivity occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause and carry out targeted treatment.

To relieve dentin hypersensitivity, pay attention to 4 points

1. It is best to chew food with the teeth on both sides to avoid excessive wear of the teeth on one side, and it is best to eat less hard food.

2. Pay attention to oral hygiene, develop good habits of vertical brushing, and rinse your mouth with warm water to avoid wedge-shaped defects.

3. Brush your teeth with a desensitizing toothpaste. Apply the paste to the sensitive areas of your teeth for 3 to 5 minutes so that the desensitizing ingredients can fully contact the teeth and take effect.

4. If you find that your teeth are severely worn, have wedge-shaped defects, etc., patients with severe dentin sensitivity should go to the hospital's dental department for treatment in time.

5. Chew ordinary dry tea leaves for 3 to 5 minutes. The tannic acid in the tea leaves can increase the resistance of the dental nerve to stimulation, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the dental nerve. Of course, drinking tea for a long time can also play a certain role in dental care.

These methods can be used as remedies for toothache. In fact, paying attention to the above issues in daily life can effectively prevent the occurrence of dentin sensitivity.
