Homeopathic products do not treat the dental causes of sensitivity.

Sensitivity occurs when stimuli reach exposed dentine and activate nerves inside the tooth.

What does this question mean?

Sensitivity occurs when stimuli reach exposed dentine and activate nerves inside the tooth.

The relevant anatomy, timing, and examination findings distinguish a surface problem from disease deeper in the tooth or supporting tissues.

What can you do next?

Use a soft brush and a labelled fluoride or desensitising toothpaste while arranging diagnosis.

Record when the problem began, what triggers it, and any swelling, bleeding, fever, injury, or recent dental work.

When should you seek dental care?

Seek care for spontaneous, prolonged, localised sensitivity or swelling.

A dentist can examine the tissues, test the teeth and gums, and use dental imaging when indicated by the findings.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask what caused the problem, which treatment addresses it, and what alternatives are appropriate.

Ask which changes should prompt an earlier review and what you should do while waiting.
