At LiT Dental Clinic, Dr. Vaqar helps patients across McKinney, TX, and surrounding areas find relief from severe sensitivity issues. She will carefully examine your teeth, identify the problem, whether it’s because of cavities or worn-out enamel. We will then recommend the most suitable treatment options, including dental bonding, fluoride treatment, or other appropriate alternatives.
Do you feel sharp pain whenever you eat or drink something hot or cold? Or are you craving cold coffee but afraid it will leave your sensitive front teeth aching? If yes, you are not alone. Teeth sensitivity has affected millions of people worldwide, making eating, drinking, and brushing difficult and uncomfortable.
Who says you have to live with tooth sensitivity? LiT Dental Clinic offers the most affordable and personalized solutions to treat sensitive teeth effectively. We offer multiple treatment options to make your enamel strong and minimize sensitivity so you can get back to enjoying your life just the way you like it.
What is Teeth Sensitivity?
Teeth sensitivity is the most common dental issue. It occurs when protective layers of teeth, such as enamel and cementum, wear off and expose dentin. When this happens, teeth respond painfully to hot or cold drinks and sweet or spicy foods.
The dentin is full of nerve pathways that go straight to the teeth pulp, where all the nerves reside. So, whenever hot or cold food reaches the dentin, it sends pain signals to the nerves—and it hurts. It can affect a single tooth or multiple teeth, leaving you feeling uncomfortable.
Do you know what the good thing is? Tooth sensitivity is treatable – we have multiple options to recover your protective layers and minimize the discomfort.
Here are some factors that may lead to the development of sensitive teeth.
What causes tooth sensitivity?
Here are some factors that may lead to the development of sensitive teeth.
Gum recession – Gum recession is a condition in which gum tissues pull away from the original gum line, leaving roots exposed
Brushing too hard – When you use a hard-bristled toothbrush or brush with heavy hands, you damage the protective layers (enamel), which can result in gum recession.
Cracked or chipped tooth – When the tooth is cracked, the bacteria might fill in the pulp and lead to inflammation.
Dental procedures – Some people may feel tooth sensitivity after filling, cleaning, or other dental procedures. This will go away in 2-3 weeks.
Decay or cavities – Cavities or plaques wear down the enamel, leading to sensitive teeth.
Acidic or spicy food – Regular consumption of spicy or acidic foods disrupts tooth enamel and increases the risk of tooth sensitivity.
How do you treat sensitive teeth?
LiT Dental Clinic offers multiple treatment options that can prevent teeth sensitivity and restore your teeth’s normal function.
- Desensitizing solutions: Using desensitizing solutions is the quickest and most effective way to treat sensitive teeth. These solutions block the nerve pathways, reducing sensitivity.
- Fluoride treatment: Fluoride works best against sensitive teeth. It restores your teeth’s protective layers and reduces pain and sudden toothaches. Our trusted and professional fluoride treatments are the go-to choice for people struggling with sensitivity issues.
- Dental bonding: Whether you have moderate sensitivity or it has gotten worse, our dental bonding solution is the best. It covers the exposed roots with a certain material, leaving your teeth sensitivity-free.
- Mouthguards: If you grind your teeth at night, which increases your teeth’s sensitivity, we provide mouthguards to protect your teeth. Grinding will wear off the tooth enamel, exposing roots for sensitivity attacks.
- Gum repair: If gum recession is the reason for sensitivity, our gum repair procedures can rebuild the gum tissues and cover the exposed roots.
Depending on the severity of your teeth’s sensitivity, our dentist, Dr. Vaqar, will suggest the best sensitivity solutions.
