Sensitive Teeth

tooth_pain_image_1 Are your teeth sensitive to hot or cold foods or drinks?

You know who you are. Sensitive teeth can be a major frustration due to the fact that low level pain experienced frequently can take such a toll on our ability to feel good and healthy.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity is caused primarily by the nerves on the roots of teeth being exposed. Normally, the roots of our teeth are covered by gum tissue. As gum disease progresses unchecked, the gum tissue recedes and causes the roots of our teeth to become exposed and unprotected.

Due to the pain associated with tooth sensitivity, sufferers commonly stop brushing the exposed roots. And with good reason! Brushing the roots also stimulates the nerves in the tooth roots and causes pain! Unfortunately, not applying gentle cleaning to the root surface allows the disease causing bacteria along and under the gum line to continue their destructive ways.

Aside from the epidemic quality of gum disease, one of the reasons gums recede is due to poor brushing technique. Over the years of poor brushing technique, the gum tissue becomes so irritated that it recedes to the damage.

See below to watch a video detailing how to brush your teeth using a scientifically proven method to disrupt and disorganize the bad bugs that cause gum disease!

So, how do I stop sensitive teeth?

The solution is to take the edge off the pain while we clean the roots - GENTLY!

The combination of gentle brushing with a solution that reduces nerve sensitivity is one effective answer to stop the pain associated with sensitive teeth.

What about sensitive toothpaste?

We are not big fans of commercial toothpastes. Bottom line is almost all commercial toothpastes have artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners (all known to damage our health) as well as a host of chemicals of either unknown impact on our health or known damaging effects! Why try to help yourself with a product that has ingredients known to cause damage when other healthier options exist?

The OraWellness Brushing Blend was formulated with tooth sensitivity in mind! The blend of Organic botanicals effectively takes the edge off tooth sensitivity while it kills the bacteria that causes gum disease.
