On its page on the X4 platform, the Qatari Ministry of Health presented effective solutions for those with sensitive teeth, in conjunction with the celebration of the Gulf Oral and Dental Health Week.
Solutions include the following:
Use a soft toothbrush, which will reduce tooth scratching and preserve gums.
Pay attention to what you eat, as consuming highly acidic foods will increase the dissolution of tooth enamel and thus lead to tooth decay.
Use fluoride-fortified products, such as toothpaste and mouthwash. She adds that daily use of fluoride mouthwash may reduce tooth sensitivity.
Avoid putting pressure on the teeth while sleeping, and here a night guard can be used.
A night guard is a device that covers the teeth. It is worn before sleep and works to protect the teeth from the effects of pressure on the jaws during sleep.
