Treating and preventing sensitive teeth
Having sensitive teeth is a very common problem that affects many people. It can start at any time, but is most prevalent between the ages of 20 and 40, with women being more susceptible to the condition than men.
At The Hub, we can both treat and help prevent teeth sensitivity. Seeking early treatment is essential to stop the problem from becoming more severe and leading to toothache, damage and potentially even tooth loss.
What are the symptoms?
- Discomfort when consuming hot or cold food and drinks
- Sensitivity when breathing in air through the mouth
- Pain that wakes you from sleep
- Sensitivity when brushing teeth or using mouthwash
The process
We start all treatments with a thorough examination of your teeth and consideration of your medical history. This can be supplemented by X-rays, to help inform the diagnosis.
During the appointment, the conversation will be centred on your symptoms, identifying the source of the problem and determining the best treatment approach to effectively tackle the issue.
Teeth sensitivity FAQs
- Regular visits to the practice for check-ups and hygiene appointments
- Eating a balanced diet and living a healthy lifestyle
- Brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent enamel erosion and gum recession
- Wearing a mouthguard at night if you suffer from teeth grinding
- Acting quickly and visiting the dentist as soon as dental problems occur
At The Hub we have developed effective techniques to help minimise sensitivity, including using warmer water and providing local anaesthetic.
We also use cutting-edge ultrasonic devices with special tips designed to reduce sensitivity during procedures.
As well as causing decay, plaque can also irritate tooth nerves. Having a good oral health regime and keeping plaque under control is an effective way to reduce the chances of having sensitive teeth.
If this is the case then we can refer you to one of our own periodontists (specialists in treating gum disease and other gum issues). They will be able to offer you treatment from their comprehensive range of surgical gum treatments.
