What is Treatment for Tooth Sensitivity?
Our Approach & Solutions
In-Office Fluoride Varnish
A highly concentrated fluoride is painted onto the teeth to strengthen enamel and remineralize weak spots.
Desensitizing Agents
We can apply special bonding agents to seal the dentin tubules and block the transmission of pain signals.
Restorative Treatments
If sensitivity is caused by a cavity or crack, we can repair the tooth with a filling or crown.
Custom Nightguards
If teeth grinding (bruxism) is the cause, a custom nightguard can provide significant relief.
The Treatment Process
Thorough Examination
We perform a detailed check-up to identify the specific cause of your discomfort.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on our findings, we recommend the most effective course of action.
Professional Application
We apply desensitizing or protective treatments in-office for immediate relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity is a common side effect of teeth whitening, but it usually subsides shortly after treatment. We take precautions to minimize this.
Why are my teeth suddenly sensitive?
Sudden sensitivity can indicate a new problem like a cavity or a cracked tooth. It's important to have it checked by a dentist promptly.
