When you’re experiencing sensitivity, the last thing you want to do is make it any worse. The first thing you’re hoping to accomplish is finding a way to make it stop and to feel better. Fortunately, your Corona dentist has tips that will help you feel a bit better immediately. Then, of course, by following through with seeing our Corona, CA team, you can expect any additional care you may require in order to get your mouth feeling the way it used to feel (comfortable, that is).

Choose Gentle, Protective Sensitivity Toothpaste

Most of the time, you’re probably focused on choosing toothpaste with the primary purpose of avoiding cavities. Now, however, we encourage you to change to one that offers double protection, against decay and sensitivity. If you’ve been using anything harsh, with scrubbing ingredients, or paste formulated for teeth whitening, now is the time to stop! Something that’s made specifically to help limit the discomfort you’re experiencing really will help if you commit to using it, explains your Corona dentist.

Choose Soft Bristles And An Easy Touch

When your goal is to limit the sensitivity you’ve been experiencing, your first stop might be your bathroom sink. Take a look at your toothbrush. Think back to the packaging that it came in and ask yourself: Did it say it had soft bristles? If the answer is “no” or “I’m not sure,” you may need to replace that brush. Soft bristles are the only bristles that protect your teeth and clean them. Be gentle with the bristles, your approach, and your flossing. It will help, explains your Corona dentist.

Come In For A Gentle Visit

Don’t worry, your Corona dentist knows that you are uncomfortable. However, it’s also important that our team sees you very soon, so we can see if your sensitivity is the result of a concern affecting your oral health and causing this symptom (or if it’s just irritation we can help you manage). We will guide you through a gentle examination, so we can get to the bottom of this frustrating sensation as we determine the best way to address it.
