Out of absolutely nowhere, you may find yourself struck with sudden super dental sensitivity! One moment you’re absolutely okay. The next, your tooth feels quite vulnerable and irritated by pressure, by cold, by heat, etc. So, now what? Fortunately, we are here to help with such a concern. Take our advice for your quickest solution.
Be Delicate With The Area
You may feel the desire to poke and prod the area, assuming this might help you determine the severity of the dental sensitivity. You may also wonder what the problem is. While we get it, we also advise against it! Don’t try to over-floss or brush the area, touch it, press on it with your tongue, etc. Instead, care for it delicately, brush and floss as normal, and try to leave it alone.
Use An OTC Topical Anesthetic
You may most certainly head to the drugstore if your dental sensitivity is very uncomfortable and you want immediate relief. Applying an over-the-counter (OTC) topical anesthetic can help numb your tissues for relief. Taking a pain relief medicine may also help.
Call Us Right Away!
Now, for the essential part of our dental sensitivity advice: Pick up the phone and dial our number! Tell us about the type of sensitivity you are experiencing and be prepared to describe which tooth (or at least that it is on the top or bottom, left or right of your mouth).
