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.
Who Benefits from Desensitizing Treatment?
Desensitizing treatment is ideal for patients who:
Experience pain when eating or drinking

Dr. Abdul Wehbe, was very compassionate . as was his staff, I appreciate everything that they did for me the two days that I was there. his receptionist went out of her way to help me when it comes to getting an appointment and rearranging things for me. I appreciate that very much.Posted on Google Valerii YakubovychTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came with chipped tooth. Dr. Laatsch recommended to fix cavity in another alive tooth first. Within initially planned time the doctor and his assistant Yulia fixed both. I got great value for the money I paid. A couple weeks have passed, no complains. Thank you!Posted on Google Kelli RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m sure everyone has concerns and even fear about going to the dentist. Well let me help you overcome that fear. I see Dr Wehbe at the Strathcona Dental office, and I have never experienced a more warm and stress free practice as you would experience here. From Dr Wehbe to the office staff and hygiene department, everyone makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Professional is the word that comes to my mind when discussing this dental office.

A big thank you to Claire(Receptionist) for the warm welcome and her clear understanding of my situation. Tatyana (Dental Hygienist) did a fantastic job on my teeth, I could really tell the difference. Dr. Abdul Wehbe and his assistant Jenny (Dental Assistant) were outstanding.
