Common conclusions

Feeling pain that stops after a few seconds is a usually due to high enamel penetrating quality. If your tooth has not changed its color, try using remineralizing toothpaste that contains fluoride and Xylitol. These components make enamel stronger and more resistant to damage. Using a mouth rinse that contains fluoride can also be beneficial (make sure that is a non-alcoholic formula). Keep brushing your teeth twice every day and gently flossing afterwards in order to remove food residues in your interdental spaces.If the pain persists, schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and professional help. Remember to visit your dentist every 6 months for a periodic oral health examination.
