How should you apply toothpaste to a sensitive area?
Brush with a small amount using light pressure, spit after brushing, and follow the package directions for any fingertip application. Do not place toothpaste into a deep cavity, open wound, or broken filling, and do not swallow it.
When should ongoing tooth sensitivity be examined?
Arrange dental care for lingering pain, swelling, a loose restoration, a visible cavity, or symptoms that begin suddenly in one tooth. A dentist should assess sensitivity that continues after regular use.
Which ingredients and application method suit you?
Ask which active ingredient is in the formulation, how it should be applied, and whether your symptoms suggest decay, a crack, recession, or pulp inflammation. Ask how long to try it before returning for review.
