Which toothpaste may help pain from exposed dentine?
A sensitivity toothpaste may reduce pain from exposed dentin, but it cannot repair decay, a crack, an abscess, or an inflamed pulp.
Why can exposed dentine make teeth painful or sensitive?
Dentin is the layer beneath enamel; when it is exposed, open tubules can transmit stimuli toward the pulp.
How should you brush when tooth sensitivity is present?
Use a fluoride toothpaste with a soft brush and gentle pressure, concentrating on the gumline.
When does tooth sensitivity need a quick dental review?
See a dentist quickly for spontaneous throbbing, pain on biting, swelling, fever, or a broken tooth.
How can a dentist distinguish sensitivity from deeper pain?
Ask whether the pain is dentin sensitivity or a deeper tooth problem.
