Sensitivity is an oral problem caused when certain activities like eating, drinking, or brushing give rise to sharp pain in your teeth. This is mainly due to sensitive teeth with exposed root nerves or worn out or damaged teeth. If you are someone who is quite disturbed by this daily problem, read this carefully to find a remedy.
In this section, we will discuss some of the causes and preventive measures taken by dentists to treat teeth sensitivity. For example, fluoride, a brilliant remedy to tooth problems, may be prescribed by your doctor to be applied to sensitive areas of your teeth.
Desensitizing toothpaste is also used by dentists to prevent pain that is felt due to sensitive teeth. Bonding is also another brilliant method to treat exposed root surfaces, which cause pain, by applying bonding resin on the surfaces.

A surgical gum graft is another process where gum tissue from elsewhere in the mouth is taken to attach to the affected area. This helps to protect the roots or nerves which were exposed due to this.
