Natural ways to deal with sensitive teeth

There is nothing as annoying as sensitive teeth. You open your mouth to speak but the cold air hits your teeth so hard. You try drinking anything or even eating but your teeth can’t allow you. And it’s not because it pains, they are just super sensitive and you can’t stand anything getting in touch with them.

If you use tooth paste that has strong abrasive, your enamel gets sensitive. It can also happen if you have been brushing your teeth aggressively making your enamel to wear out. To relieve the sensitivity, try out these natural remedies:

1. Stay away from acidic foods
