What can make teeth sensitive when brushing?
Sensitivity can arise from exposed dentin, gum recession, worn enamel, decay, a crack, or recent dental treatment. A brush can reduce abrasion, but it cannot diagnose or repair the cause.
How should you brush gently with a sensitive mouth?
Angle the bristles toward the gum margin, use small controlled movements, and clean all tooth surfaces without sawing back and forth. Replace a frayed brush head.
When should a dentist assess sensitivity during brushing?
Book an examination when sensitivity is localised, worsening, spontaneous, or still present after changing technique.
What should you ask about treating brushing sensitivity?
A clinician can check exposed roots, enamel wear, cavities, cracks, and gum inflammation, then discuss fluoride toothpaste or other treatment matched to the finding.
