Sensitivity Treatment

Relieve Tooth Sensitivity with Specialized Treatment at My Dental Home

Tooth sensitivity can be incredibly uncomfortable, often making everyday activities like eating or drinking cold, hot, or sweet foods a painful experience. Sensitivity can occur for a number of reasons, such as receding gums, enamel erosion, teeth grinding, or even periodontal disease. The good news is that with the right treatment, you don’t have to live with discomfort. 

Understanding the Causes of Tooth Sensitivity

Receding Gums and Enamel Erosion

One common cause of sensitivity is receding gums or worn-down enamel. This exposes the sensitive parts of your teeth, leading to discomfort. Our team at My Dental Home can assess the condition of your gums and enamel to determine the best course of action for treatment. 

Grinding Teeth and Gum Disease

Sensitivity may also indicate that you’re grinding your teeth, a habit often caused by stress or sleep disorders. In some cases, gum disease can also be a contributing factor. We’ll evaluate all aspects of your oral health to pinpoint the root cause. 

Treatment Options for Tooth Sensitivity

Desensitizing Varnish

One effective option for sensitivity relief is desensitizing varnish, which can help reduce discomfort. This treatment is non-invasive and can provide lasting relief.
