5 Home Remedies for Tooth Sensitivity | Martin Urban DDS | Professional Overview
Sensitive Toothpaste There are many desensitizing kinds of toothpaste that are specially curated to help overcome sensitivity by using potassium nitrate to block pain signals to your brain. After several uses, these special kinds of toothpaste can greatly help to relieve pain.
Vanilla Vanilla is known to have pain-relieving powers. The natural alcohol content numbs the pain, while the antioxidant property helps to heal inflammation. Soak a cotton ball in vanilla extract, then apply the cotton to the gums for several minutes at a time. This process is safe to repeat as often as necessary.
Salt Water Since tooth pain and sensitivity often stem from unhealthy gums, rinsing with warm salt water can help to clean the mouth and heal the soreness in the gums and teeth. Mix half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water, and rinse or gargle with it at least twice a day. Tea
Peppermint tea and green tea are known to help tooth sensitivity. The tea can be used as a mouthwash, or the used tea bag can be applied directly to the sore area as a compress.
Hydrogen Peroxide Hydrogen peroxide can be mixed with equal parts water to make a mouthwash to rinse with. It can be swished in the mouth for about 30 seconds twice a day. Tooth sensitivity after a filling or because of inflamed gums is normal, and these remedies should help get things back to normal. However, if the tooth pain persists for more than two weeks, schedule a dentist’s appointment.
