Natural Hands on Relief for Sensitive Teeth

If you feel pain in your teeth when you drink a hot or cold beverage or when you brush, you have sensitive teeth. The problem of sensitive teeth is a large one that can be caused by cavities, fractured teeth, worn tooth enamel, a cracked tooth or an exposed tooth root. The enamel that protects your teeth is the strongest substance in the body, it can be damaged from acid reflux or from eating too many acid foods and beverages that eat away the protective covering.

We see how acid reflux, or eating acid foods, can damage the enamel but we miss how internal acid (acidic blood that is in the gums or teeth) can cause sensitivity, pain, even bone loss. The lymphatic system must remove acid waste from the body including the teeth and gums. As the lymph flow in the main lymph drain under the clavicle bones becomes congested, acid waste starts to slowly build up into the neck and into the teeth and gums creating sensitivity. Most individuals who have the problem of sensitive teeth don’t have the problem all the time, the pain comes and goes. The pain becomes worse when circulation to your gums and teeth become compromised due to excess acidity and its constricting affect on the lymphatic system.

You can gain control of the problem of sensitive teeth by increasing circulation through your gums and teeth. This can be done by activating the lymph in your gums when you brush your teeth. After brushing your teeth, slide your tooth brush gently on the gums from the center of your gums (by the nose), towards  your ear 5 to 10 times. Only slide the tooth brush gently in one direction from the nose to the ear along the gums. This activates the lymphatic system and increases circulation in the gums and teeth to help reduce acid buildup and the pain associated with sensitive teeth. Activating the lymphatic system will also help to prevent bone loss in the bones of your jaw.
