PREVENTION
To prevent sensitivity, make sure you schedule an annual exam with your board-certified dentist in Charlotte, NC. They can diagnose and treat problem like cavities, gum disease, teeth grinding, and much more before they can cause symptoms like sensitivity. During your exam, you can also ask your dentist to check your brushing technique to make sure you are not brushing too hard. Also, try to avoid foods and drinks that are highly acidic (citrus fruits and juices, soda, and most processed foods) since this can weaken your enamel. To help strengthen your enamel, you may ask your dentist about adding professional fluoride treatments.
