How can i alleviate tooth sensitivity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: The solution depends on the cause. Tooth sensitivity can be caused by diet, traumatic toothbrushing (too hard or aggressive), gum disease, tooth decay, clenching/grinding the teeth, or other reasons. See your dentist for an evaluation to identify the probable cause(s), then take the steps to remedy the problem(s).
