Tips to handle sensitive teeth

  1. Gum disease results in receding gums that lead to sensitive teeth.Best way to prevent it is by taking good oral care.

  2. Avoid food deposition on gums by brushing properly twice daily.

  3. Use interdental aids like floss and interdental brush to remove food trapped between teeth.Avoid using pins as it can injure your gums and cause recession.
