How to Care for Sensitive Teeth

After dental treatment, teeth are often sensitive to hot and cold. This usually is temporary lasting a few weeks or months, but only if the mouth is kept free of bacterial plaque. If the mouth is not kept clean, the sensitivity will remain and become more severe. If your teeth are especially sensitive, consult with your Periodontist. He may prescribe Prevident medicated toothpaste or mouth rinse made specifically for sensitive teeth.
