Tooth pain can be debilitating, and certain problems are more
serious than others. Let’s take a look at the most common types
of pain and their treatments, along with strategies to prevent
them in the future. Teeth are made up of enamel and dentin
(which has pores that lead to the nerve). Inside the tooth is a
nerve that, when irritated, can cause sensitivity to hot and
cold, as well as pain. The sensitivity ranges, but it can be
severe. Enamel can become abraded or eroded away from things
like soda or lemon juice. Here are some ways to treat teeth
sensitivity: - Eliminate the source of irritation. Replace hard
toothbrushes with soft-bristle brushes. Use electric brushes
such as Braun or Sonicare to further decrease this trauma. -
Avoid soda and sugary drinks that can change the way the nerve
reacts. Limit or eliminate high-acid drinks, which have carbonic
acid (what gives soda its fizz). - Brush with toothpastes that
say “for sensitive teeth,” as they contain medications that will
plug up the small pores in
