Understanding Sensitive Teeth
Tooth sensitivity is a common dental issue that affects many individuals, leading to discomfort or pain when teeth are exposed to certain stimuli. Sensitivity can be caused by a variety of factors, including enamel erosion, gum recession, or the presence of cavities or fractures. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating sensitive teeth, using personalized approaches to reduce discomfort and protect your teeth from further damage.
Causes of Sensitive Teeth
- Enamel Erosion: Caused by acidic foods and beverages, aggressive brushing, or teeth grinding.
- Gum Recession: Exposing the roots of your teeth, which lack the protective layer of enamel.
- Dental Conditions: Such as cavities, cracked or chipped teeth, or worn fillings and crowns.
- Periodontal Disease: Infection and inflammation of the gums can contribute to sensitivity.
Our Sensitive Teeth Treatment Options
- Fluoride Treatments: Application of fluoride can strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.
- Desensitizing Toothpaste: Specialized toothpaste formulated to block the transmission of pain signals from the tooth surface to the nerve.
- Dental Restorations: Fillings, crowns, or bonding to repair damaged teeth and cover exposed roots or worn enamel.
- Gum Grafting: Surgical procedure to cover exposed roots and reduce sensitivity.
- Root Canal Therapy: In cases where sensitivity is due to deep decay or infection, root canal therapy may be the most effective treatment to eliminate pain.
