Home remedies for pangingilo
Pangingilo usually means dentin sensitivity, and gentle cleaning, avoiding triggers, and a desensitizing toothpaste may help while the underlying.
The short answer
Dentin sensitivity is a short, sharp response when exposed dentin reacts to cold, heat, touch, or sweet or acidic foods. Exposed dentin can result from gum recession, enamel wear, erosion, abrasion, a crack, decay, or a recent dental procedure.
How can you reduce sensitivity with gentle daily care?
Use a soft brush with light pressure, avoid brushing immediately after acidic foods, and try toothpaste containing a desensitizing ingredient as directed. Do not place aspirin or harsh chemicals on the tooth, and arrange an examination if the symptom keeps returning.
When should lingering or unexplained sensitivity be examined?
See a dentist for pain that lingers after a stimulus, occurs without a trigger, wakes you, or is limited to one tooth. Swelling, fever, a broken tooth, or pain on biting can indicate a problem deeper than ordinary sensitivity.
Is the sensitive area caused by recession, erosion, decay, or a crack?
Ask whether the exposed area is caused by recession, erosion, abrasion, decay, or a crack. Ask whether fluoride treatment, bonding, a filling, a bite adjustment, or root canal treatment is appropriate.
