Tooth Sensitivity
Diagnosis and treatment of pain triggered by hot, cold, or pressure to reduce discomfort and protect enamel.
What is it
A diagnostic and treatment process that identifies why teeth respond painfully to hot, cold, sweet, or pressure stimuli and addresses the underlying cause to reduce discomfort.
How it works
The dentist evaluates the teeth for contributing factors such as enamel erosion, gum recession, or cracks, then recommends targeted treatments to reduce discomfort.
How it helps
Reduces or eliminates pain triggered by everyday stimuli, protects enamel from further erosion, and improves daily comfort and quality of life.
