Tooth sensitivity is usually relieved by avoiding triggers temporarily and treating the cause, such as exposed dentine, decay, a crack, or gum recession.

What does pangingilo feel like in a sensitive tooth?

Pangingilo means brief sharp sensitivity when stimuli reach dentine. Dentine tubules transmit fluid movement toward the pulp.

What can you do to reduce tooth sensitivity today?

Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft brush while avoiding triggers. A dentist may seal dentine, restore decay, repair a crack, or treat recession.
