Managing Teeth Sensitivity

A perfect smile comes from a good set of strong, clean, white teeth. But many people who has attractive smiles face a problem when they have yellow or colored teeth. Brushing and flossing the teeth never fails as a way to enhance the natural white color of the teeth but dentists today offer services in cosmetic dentistry in teeth whitening. However, even if this dental procedure is a very effective teeth whitening method, some patients who underwent this procedure experienced increased tooth sensitivity. Having said that, this should not discourage people who are planning to get teeth whitening treatments for our people at Wynnewood will handle you with care. Here are some ways to reduce tooth sensitivity.

Putting Extra Care

Right after receiving teeth whitening treatment, avoid brushing your teeth directly. You need to give your teeth time to settle, and brushing them directly after the procedure can actually affect the enamel and harm it. Use a soft bristled tooth brush, as it is gentler and would make brushing less painful.

Your Food and Drink Matters

Food and drinks that we take also affect our teeth. Be very mindful of what you take for the first several days. The food and drinks that you need to avoid when you underwent a cosmetic dentistry are those that are too hot or too cold for ingesting these would be painful. Acidic food and drink will also be harmful for your teeth and painful to ingest.
