You can reduce the chance of dental sensitivity by maintaining oral health and good oral hygiene to help prevent gums from degrading and periodontal disease. Correct brushing and flossing as recommended by your dentist or hygienist, and using low-wear toothpaste can help reduce your chances of becoming sensitive to your teeth. Non-acidic diets also help prevent tooth sensitivity. Ignoring sensitive teeth can lead to other oral health problems, especially if the pain causes you to brush your teeth badly, making it easier for you to get cavities and gum disease.
