Use a soft toothbrush and a correct brushing technique using moderate force.
Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush, avoid aggressive brushing, treat gum disease, avoid tobacco, and see a dentist for regular check-ups.
Use desensitizing toothpaste, avoid acidic foods, practice good oral hygiene, wear a mouthguard if grinding, and consult a dentist for specific treatments.
