  • About

What is Tooth Sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity occurs when the soft tissue (dentin) beneath the tooth enamel is exposed. This can cause discomfort or pain when you consume hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks. It’s a common issue that affects many people and can vary in intensity—from mild discomfort to sharp, sudden pain.

  • Enamel Erosion: The outer layer of your teeth wears down over time, often due to acidic foods, beverages, or improper brushing.
  • Gum Recession: As gums pull away from the teeth, they expose the root surface, which is more sensitive to temperature changes.
  • Tooth Decay or Cracks: Cavities or fractures can make teeth more vulnerable to sensitivity.
  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): This can wear down enamel and lead to tooth sensitivity.
  • Dental Procedures: Some treatments, like teeth whitening or a filling, can temporarily increase sensitivity.

Tooth Sensitivity Treatment Options

  • Fluoride Treatment: A fluoride treatment can strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity. We apply a highly concentrated fluoride gel or varnish to your teeth to help protect the exposed dentin and reduce discomfort.
  • Desensitizing Toothpaste: pecially formulated desensitizing toothpaste contains compounds that block the pathways leading to nerve endings in the teeth. We may recommend using this toothpaste to help manage mild to moderate sensitivity.
  • Dental Bonding: If your tooth sensitivity is caused by enamel erosion or small cracks in the teeth, dental bonding can help. We apply a tooth-colored resin to the affected areas to cover exposed dentin and protect the nerves.
  • Root Canal: In severe cases where sensitivity is caused by an underlying infection or deep decay, a root canal treatment may be necessary. This procedure removes the infected tissue and seals the tooth to prevent further damage and discomfort.
