We Find the Root Cause

Fast Relief
Many patients experience significant relief within days of treatment. You can return to enjoying all your favorite foods and drinks.
Prevent Future Sensitivity
Once treated, we’ll provide guidance to prevent sensitivity from returning, including proper brushing technique and dietary advice.
FAQS
Frequently asked questions
Why am I suddenly sensitive to cold?
Causes include enamel erosion, gum recession, cracked teeth, and exposed root surfaces. We’ll identify your specific cause.
Is tooth sensitivity ever serious?
Sometimes sensitivity indicates a cracked tooth or cavity that needs treatment. We’ll examine you thoroughly to rule out serious problems.
Can I use sensitive toothpaste to fix sensitivity?
Sensitive toothpaste helps but doesn’t address underlying causes. Professional treatment is more effective for significant sensitivity.
Will my sensitivity go away on its own?
Not usually. Without treatment, sensitivity typically worsens. Early intervention stops progression and relieves discomfort.
How is gum recession treated?
Mild recession is managed with proper brushing and fluoride treatment. Severe recession may require a gum graft to restore coverage.
Can you fix a cracked tooth that's causing sensitivity?
Yes. Depending on crack severity, we repair it with bonding, a crown, or other appropriate treatments.
Are there lifestyle changes that reduce sensitivity?
Yes. Avoid acidic foods and drinks, use a soft toothbrush, brush gently, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
