Our approach to treating sensitive teeth
Sealants
A thin protective coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to prevent decay and reduce sensitivity.
Bonding
A tooth-colored resin that covers and protects exposed root surfaces or worn enamel.
Nightguards
For patients with bruxism (teeth grinding), a custom nightguard can prevent further enamel wear.
Periodontal Therapy
If gum recession is the cause, we may recommend treatments to restore gum health.
Why should you treat sensitive teeth?
- Prevent further damage ⏤ Sensitivity often results from enamel erosion, cavities, or gum recession. Without treatment, these issues can progress, leading to more severe pain, decay, or even tooth loss.
- Improve your oral health ⏤ Sensitive teeth can make you avoid brushing or flossing properly, increasing your risk of cavities and gum disease. Treating sensitivity ensures you can maintain good oral hygiene without discomfort.
- Avoid more costly treatments later ⏤ Early intervention can prevent the need for more extensive and expensive procedures down the road. Addressing sensitivity now can save you time, money, and discomfort in the future.
- Enhance your quality of life ⏤ Pain and discomfort from sensitive teeth can affect your daily activities, from eating to speaking. By treating the problem, you can enjoy life without hesitation or worry.
