Sensitive teeth with exposed necks require special attention. They must be cleaned gently to avoid further abrasion but, at the same time, thoroughly enough for the teeth to remain healthy. This is because clean teeth, healthy gums and fortified mucous membranes are the best protection against plaque (bacterial film on the teeth) and the tartar and caries which may result from it.
