Did you know that there are treatments available in the world today that can help you with your tooth sensitivity? Well, it’s true! Depending on the cause of the sensitivity, there is a perfect treatment available for you. Some treatments include:
· Desensitizing toothpaste: Desensitizing toothpaste contains a compound that covers the pathways to your tooth nerve and blocks any sensations from entering. The sensitivity should be reduced after multiple applications of the toothpaste.
· Fluoride gel: Fluoride gel is available in our office. It is a helpful treatment that strengthens your tooth enamel and also blocks the pathways to your tooth nerve.
· Dental work: Sometimes a dental crown, dental inlay, or dental bonding can help with tooth sensitivity. They can correct a flaw in your tooth and can also take care of tooth decay.
· Surgical gum graft: Surgical gum grafts can help you if your gums have moved away from your teeth and have exposed the roots. The treatment will put your gums back into place and will protect the root of the tooth as well as reduce tooth sensitivity.
· Root canal treatment: If the sensitivity cannot be cured from the mentioned treatments, we will happily provide root canal therapy. This will surely eliminate the problem.
