Tooth sensitivity can improve with desensitizing fluoride toothpaste, gentle brushing, and treatment of decay, wear, cracks, or exposed root surfaces.

The symptom is a short, sharp response from dentin when cold, hot, sweet, acidic, or touch stimuli reach fluid-filled tubules inside the tooth. Exposed dentin may follow gum recession, enamel wear, abrasion, erosion, a cavity, or a cracked tooth.

Use a soft brush, low pressure, and fluoride toothpaste made for sensitivity; spit after brushing rather than rinsing heavily. A dentist may apply fluoride varnish, a bonding material, or a restoration after checking the cause.

Book an examination when sensitivity is new, severe, localised to one tooth, lasts after the trigger is removed, or occurs with spontaneous pain. These features can indicate decay, pulp inflammation, or a crack rather than simple dentin sensitivity.

Ask whether the pain is consistent with exposed dentin or with decay, a crack, or pulp disease. Ask which toothpaste, fluoride treatment, brushing method, or restoration is appropriate.
