Are sensitive teeth holding you back?
- Unexpected pain triggered by cold winds or air conditioning
- A dull ache when sipping warm beverages
- Heightened sensitivity to sugary treats or desserts
- Pressure-induced discomfort during chewing
- Generalized tenderness in your teeth or gums
If any of these sound familiar, don’t worry, we’ve got your back.
Sensitive teeth can signal bigger issues
Sensitive teeth often indicate deeper problems like enamel erosion or gum health concerns. Addressing these issues early can protect your teeth and overall oral health.
- Shields enamel from further damage and prevents bacterial infections.
- Supports daily comfort and maintains optimal dental function.
- Reduces the likelihood of advanced dental problems and ensures long-term oral health.
Effective treatments to alleviate tooth sensitivity
We offer a variety of treatments designed to relieve your tooth sensitivity and help prevent future discomfort. Based on your needs, we may recommend one or more of the following:
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride varnish or gel strengthens tooth enamel and reduces the sensation of pain. Applied during routine cleanings, this is a fast and effective solution.
- Dental Sealants: Sealants act as a barrier, protecting sensitive areas of the teeth, such as worn enamel or exposed roots. This treatment helps reduce sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweet foods.
- Nightguards: Tooth grinding (bruxism) can wear down enamel and increase sensitivity. A custom-fitted nightguard protects your teeth while you sleep, preventing further enamel damage.
We will work closely with you to determine the best treatment for your specific situation and provide ongoing care to maintain your results.
FAQ about sensitive teeth
Why are my teeth suddenly sensitive?
Sensitivity can happen for many reasons, from enamel wear and gum recession to cavities, cracks, or even recent whitening. Sometimes acidic foods or drinks can irritate teeth, too. A quick dental checkup is the best way to find the exact cause.
How can I fix tooth sensitivity?
It starts with addressing the root cause. Solutions may include desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride treatments, or dental bonding. Brushing gently and limiting acidic foods also goes a long way in protecting your smile.
Can tooth sensitivity go away?
Yes! With the right care, sensitivity often improves or disappears. Using fluoride toothpaste, treating gum recession, or repairing cavities can bring lasting relief.
What helps with sensitive gums?
Desensitizing toothpaste and fluoride treatments can calm sensitive gums. Pain relievers may offer temporary relief, but it’s important to treat the underlying issue — such as gum disease — with your dentist’s help.
