Using sensitive toothpastes: These toothpastes can help reduce tooth sensitivity.
Using toothpastes containing fluoride: Fluoride can strengthen tooth enamel and reduce sensitivity.
Special applications recommended by the dentist: The dentist may recommend professional fluoride applications or special coatings to strengthen tooth enamel.
Surgical intervention in case of receding gums: Sensitivity caused by receding gums may sometimes require surgical intervention.
