What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity occurs when the protective enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the underlying dentin. This allows heat, cold, or pressure to reach the tooth’s nerve. Common causes include:
- Enamel erosion from acidic foods or drinks
- Gum recession
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Cavities or cracked teeth
- Aggressive brushing
- Recent dental procedures
Identifying the cause is key to long-term relief.
How Desensitizing Treatments Work
Professional desensitizing treatments block pain signals from reaching the tooth nerve and help strengthen exposed areas.
Our treatments may include:
- Application of professional desensitizing agents
- Fluoride-based therapies
- Protective coatings for exposed roots
- Recommendations for home care products
Many patients experience immediate or rapid relief after treatment.
