Brushing twice daily is the way to healthy and good oral hygiene.
Not just brushing twice but brushing properly is important.
Many people feel that if they scrub their teeth hard, they are going to have white teeth.
But that’s not correct.
It is important to brush using proper technique rather than brushing hard.
Due to hard brushing the teeth end up having abrasions.
Abrasions are notch like depressions on teeth due to wearing off of tooth structure.
They may also be caused due to use of hard toothbrush.
These abrasions lead to sensitivity.
Such was the plight of this patient when she came to Happy Smiles Dental Clinic, Pune.
She had notch like areas on her upper and lower teeth.
This caused her sensitivity.
If these abrasions are left untreated, they go on increasing and may cause pain.
As her abrasions were not deep, we could fill them.
They were filled with tooth colored composite material.
She was also adviced on proper brushing technique.
Now the damage has stopped and she doesn’t even experience sensitivity.
