Tooth sensitivity is a common dental problem affecting millions of people globally. If you often experience discomfort or sharp pain while eating hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods, you may have sensitive teeth. Understanding the causes and seeking proper treatment at Skyline Dental Clinics in Whitefield, Bangalore, can help you overcome this issue and improve your oral health.

What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?

At Skyline Dental Clinic, we regularly see patients struggling with tooth sensitivity. The primary causes include:

1. Enamel Erosion: Frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks or aggressive brushing can lead to the erosion of enamel, exposing the sensitive dentin layer.
2. Gum Recession: When the gums pull back, they expose the tooth roots, which are much more sensitive than the crown (the visible part of your tooth).
3. Tooth Decay or Cavities: Untreated cavities can penetrate deep into the tooth, causing sensitivity, especially when consuming hot or cold substances.
4. Cracked or Chipped Teeth: A cracked or chipped tooth can allow irritants to reach the tooth’s inner layers, triggering pain and discomfort.
5. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Grinding your teeth can wear down the enamel, increasing sensitivity.
6. Recent Dental Work: Sensitivity after procedures like fillings, crowns, or teeth whitening is common but usually temporary.

At Skyline Dental Clinics, we offer a comprehensive diagnosis to determine the underlying cause of your tooth sensitivity and create a personalized treatment plan.

Effective Treatments for Tooth Sensitivity

There are various treatment options available for tooth sensitivity, depending on its cause. Our experienced dentists at Skyline Dental Clinic, Whitefield offer the following solutions:

1. Desensitizing Toothpaste: Over-the-counter or prescription toothpaste can help block pain signals from the tooth surface to the nerve.
2. Fluoride Treatment: Applying fluoride to the sensitive areas strengthens enamel and reduces discomfort.
3. Dental Bonding: For exposed tooth roots, we may apply a bonding material to the affected area to shield it from sensitivity triggers.
4. Gum Graft Surgery: This surgical procedure restores lost gum tissue, covering exposed roots and reducing sensitivity.
5. Root Canal: In cases of severe sensitivity caused by deep decay or nerve exposure, a root canal may be necessary to treat the pain effectively.

Our Skyline Dental team will assess the severity of your condition and recommend the best course of action for lasting relief.

Preventing Tooth Sensitivity

Prevention is always better than cure. At Skyline Dental Clinics, we recommend the following practices to reduce the risk of developing tooth sensitivity:

• Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
• Avoid acidic foods and drinks that can erode enamel.
• Use a mouthguard if you grind your teeth.
• Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing regularly.
• Visit Skyline Dental Clinic in Whitefield for regular check-ups to catch early signs of gum recession, enamel wear, or cavities.
