Tooth sensitivity can be an uncomfortable and often painful dental condition that affects numerous individuals. It occurs when the protective
layer of enamel on the tooth wears down, exposing the underlying dentin and nerve endings. Common causes of tooth sensitivity include tooth decay, gum recession, enamel erosion, and aggressive brushing habits. When exposed to hot or cold temperatures, sweet or acidic foods, or even air, the nerve endings within the dentin can trigger sharp, shooting pain or a lingering discomfort.
Fortunately, there are effective solutions to alleviate tooth sensitivity. We recommend using desensitizing toothpaste, which can help block the nerve signals and reduce sensitivity over time. Additionally, proper oral hygiene practices, such as using a soft-bristled toothbrush and adopting a gentle brushing technique, can prevent further enamel erosion and protect sensitive areas. If you experience tooth sensitivity, it is crucial to
consult with us to diagnose the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment options, ensuring your oral health and overall comfort are
restored.
