Dental Sensitivity Treatment at Alpha Dental Teeth Tamers
Do you experience sharp pain in your teeth when eating or drinking something hot, cold, sweet, or acidic? You might be dealing with dental sensitivity, also known as dental hypersensitivity. This common condition can interfere with your daily comfort and oral health. At Alpha Dental Teeth Tamers, under the expert care of Dr. Mehha, we provide specialized treatments to help manage and relieve dental sensitivity effectively.
Why Do We Have Dental Hypersensitivity?
Dental hypersensitivity occurs when the protective enamel on your teeth wears down or when gums recede, exposing the sensitive dentin layer beneath. Dentin contains microscopic tubules that lead directly to the nerves, making your teeth react strongly to temperature changes and certain substances. Causes can include aggressive brushing, gum disease, teeth grinding, acidic foods, or overuse of whitening products.
Desensitization to Treat Dental Hypersensitivity
At Alpha Dental Teeth Tamers, we offer advanced desensitization treatments designed to strengthen and protect your teeth. Options may include fluoride varnishes, desensitizing agents, bonding resins, and sealants that block the pathways to the nerves. These in-clinic solutions help reduce discomfort and rebuild your tooth’s natural defenses.
Desensitizing Methods
To manage sensitivity at home, Dr. Mehha may recommend:
Using a desensitizing toothpaste with potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride
Brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush
Limiting intake of acidic or sugary foods and drinks
Rinsing with a fluoride mouthwash for added enamel protection
