Home Remedies for Tooth Sensitivity.

Tooth sensitivity often feels like a sharp pain or discomfort when consuming hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks. While it’s essential to see a dentist to identify the exact cause, there are some home remedies that can offer temporary relief.

At Dental Artistry, we’re sharing safe and natural tips to help reduce tooth sensitivity at home, while you seek proper treatment.

🦷 What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?

• Worn enamel

• Gum recession

• Untreated cavities

• Cracked or chipped teeth

• Teeth grinding (bruxism)

• Overuse of whitening products

✅ Helpful Home Remedies

1. Warm salt water rinse
   Reduces gum inflammation and kills bacteria. Use twice daily.

2. Baking soda
   Brushing with a bit of baking soda can neutralize acids and help strengthen enamel. Use only 1–2 times a week.

3. Coconut oil (oil pulling)
   Swish 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 10–15 minutes. It has natural antibacterial properties.

4. Clove oil
   A natural pain reliever. Apply a small amount to the sensitive area with a cotton swab.

5. Avoid extreme temperatures and acidic foods
   This helps prevent triggering pain.

⚠️ Important Notes

• These remedies offer temporary relief and don’t replace professional care.

• If sensitivity lasts more than a week, it may indicate a more serious issue.

• Avoid harsh or excessive home remedies—they can worsen the condition.
