5 Teeth Sensitivity Myths

Facts & Myth image

Do you frequently experience tooth sensitivity? Sensitivity can be a complex issue, but at SoFlo Dental, our team is dedicated to providing you with effective relief. Let’s debunk some common myths about sensitivity.


MYTH: People’s teeth are supposed to hurt when they bite into cold or hot foods.


Experiencing sensitivity to hot or cold foods shouldn’t be considered normal. It could signal an underlying issue such as cavities, worn enamel, gum disease, or exposed tooth roots. Our Dentist in Kendall Miami can help identify the cause and provide relief.


MYTH: Desensitizing toothpastes are not effective in reducing teeth sensitivity.


Desensitizing toothpastes containing ingredients like potassium nitrate or strontium chloride can block pain signals between the tooth surface and nerves. While it may take several applications to notice a difference, these toothpastes can offer relief. For severe sensitivity, prescription-strength options are available.


MYTH: You shouldn’t drink coffee or eat ice cream if you have sensitive teeth.


You shouldn’t have to give up your favorite foods and drinks due to sensitivity. Our dentist can pinpoint the cause of your discomfort and recommend suitable treatments. Maintaining proper oral care is crucial in managing sensitivity.


MYTH: Sensitivity never results in tooth loss.


Sensitivity could indicate underlying issues like gum recession or tooth decay, which, if left untreated, may lead to tooth loss. Early diagnosis and treatment are key in preserving your smile’s health.


MYTH: Sensitivity does not have a cure.


There are various treatment options available depending on the cause of sensitivity. Proper oral hygiene is essential in preventing tooth pain. If you’re experiencing sensitivity, schedule a comprehensive dental examination with us today.


At SoFlo Dental, we’re committed to providing you with personalized care to address your dental concerns. Contact our team to schedule your next visit, and let us help you find relief from tooth sensitivity.
