Consider your diet Avoid sugary and acidic foods, including many fruits and fruit juices, between meals and before bed. Food and drink with high acid content can erode the surface of your teeth and expose the tubules in your dentine, causing sensitivity.
Don't ignore sensitivity Tooth sensitivity can cause improper brushing, which may lead to a progression of problems including plaque build-up. Gingivitis, tooth damage and periodontal disease.
Regular brushing with an appropriate low-abrasion toothpaste, like Sensodyne Total Care, will help you to enjoy food without worrying about the return of sensitivity.
