Description

  • Tooth sensitivity often signals deeper dental problems like enamel erosion, gum recession, or hidden decay
  • Everyday habits such as drinking acidic beverages, brushing too hard, or using harsh whitening products strip away your teeth’s natural protection and expose nerves
  • Natural alternatives like zinc, black seed oil, and coconut oil soothe pain, reduce gum inflammation, and strengthen oral tissues without relying on fluoride
  • Some remedies, like clove oil or saltwater rinses, offer short-term relief, while others, such as apple cider vinegar, make sensitivity worse
  • Protecting enamel with gentle brushing, staying hydrated, breaking harmful habits, and seeking care from a mercury-free biological dentist help stop pain at its root
