Sensitive Teeth Treatment

Tooth sensitivity is an aggravating dental problem that may prevent you from eating hot or cold foods, in order to avoid tooth pain.

But this dental issue is more than just feeling pain when the teeth are exposed to temperature changes; it connotes another dental problem, one more serious, progressing in the mouth.

If you feel pain whenever you eat or drink hot or cold foods, then it is highly likely that you have sensitive teeth. See your Caringbah Dental Care dentist right away! Time is of the essence when it comes to your oral health.

There are a number of ways to address tooth sensitivity, depending on the cause. Below are our comprehensive dental treatments at Caringbah Dental Care.

1Desensitising toothpaste

about 20% of Australians use special toothpaste that targets tooth sensitivity. While this does not treat the problem, it offers temporary help by blocking the pain.

2Fluoride treatment

to help the teeth rebuild its enamel, remineralisation through fluoride treatment is recommended.

3Dental scale and clean

often called deep cleaning, this dental treatment is best for the early stage of gum disease, gingivitis. Your dentist cleans the teeth, all the way down to the pockets. The teeth’s surfaces are then planed to make them smooth. Smooth surfaces are not easily attached to by plaque.

4Dental bonding

this cosmetic dentistry option is also effective in addressing tooth sensitivity. A tooth-colored material is bonded on the surfaces of the damaged tooth to protect the roots.

5Root canal therapy

this is used for infected dental pulp. The dental pulp is removed and replaced with a dental filling. Some cases require a dental crown to reinforce strength. The success rate for root canal treatment is between 85 % – 97 %.
