Tooth sensitivity can be eased briefly by avoiding triggers and using fluoride toothpaste, but its cause still needs diagnosis.

Sensitivity is a short, sharp response when cold, heat, sweetness, touch, or air reaches pathways in dentine connected to the pulp. It differs from lingering or spontaneous toothache, which can indicate deeper pulpal inflammation.

Use a soft brush, fluoride toothpaste, and gentle pressure, and temporarily limit very cold, hot, acidic, or sweet triggers. Do not rub salt, lemon, alcohol, or crushed medicine on the tooth; a dentist may apply fluoride varnish, seal exposed dentine, or restore damaged structure.

Arrange an examination if sensitivity is new, worsening, limited to one tooth, or lasts after the trigger is removed. Prompt care is needed for swelling, fever, a broken tooth, pain that wakes you, or heat pain that lingers.

Ask whether the tooth has recession, abrasion, erosion, decay, a crack, or pulp inflammation, and whether an X-ray or vitality test is appropriate. Ask which desensitising treatment protects the tooth while the underlying problem is corrected.
