Tooth Sensitivity Treatment Sherwood & Canby

Fix sensitive teeth at the root of the problem

Are your teeth sensitive to hot or cold temperatures?

Have you ever drank hot coffee or eaten ice cream and experienced a sharp or stinging sensation? If so, then you have experienced tooth sensitivity. While this can happen to anyone, for those with particularly sensitive teeth, tooth sensitivity treatment will be needed to fix your tooth sensitivity and any underlying problem.

At Cary Dental, we work with our patients to treat sensitive teeth in a way that is best for their long-term oral health. We treat our patients as individuals, and you can always have confidence we are doing what is best for you and your oral health.

What causes sensitive teeth?

You might be experiencing sensitive teeth for a variety of reasons, but it is likely due to your tooth enamel breaking down and exposing the underlying dentin. This enamel previously acted as a barrier of protection, but once it is worn down your teeth become more sensitive.

What causes enamel to wear down?

Gum disease
Gum recession
Tooth decay
Broken or cracked teeth
Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush
Tooth grinding

When should I see a dentist for tooth sensitivity?

Not all tooth sensitivity requires immediate attention from a dentist (though if you are nervous about it, it never hurts to get an examination).

In general, if you are experiencing tooth sensitivity in the same area consistently, or if you are experiencing sensitivity that lingers even after eating or drinking hot or cold food, it needs attention. Make sure to bring up this sensitivity to Dr. Cary during your next appointment.

If you are experiencing intense sensitivity or pain when eating or drinking foods, get in touch immediately for an emergency appointment.

Treating Tooth Sensitivity

Every case of tooth sensitivity is different, and without completing an exam and determining the root cause, it is impossible to know which treatment is right for your specific situation.

Common treatments for sensitive teeth include:

Fillings
Bonding
Veneers
Dental crowns
Dental fillings
Gum disease therapy
Nightguards

When you come to your appointment, we will have you provide an overview of the situations in which you experience sensitive teeth. We will then take any necessary x-rays of the area and one of our doctors will examine the area(s) of concern.

With your dentist, you will develop a tailored treatment plan that will meet your unique situation and needs.

Smile Makeover

This patient had worn and crooked teeth. Crowns were needed to prevent fractures. Unfortunately, a misaligned bite would cause the crowns to wear, too. A full mouth rehabilitation, including braces and crowns, was the answer.

Dental Implants & Smile Makeover

This patient’s front teeth were discolored and worn. One tooth was cracked and had to be removed. We used a dental implant and four new crowns to restore her smile.

Orthodontics (Teenager)

This patient came to our office with crowded teeth, a narrow arch, and poor bite. We used Crozat orthodontics and braces to help her jaw grow, creating room for adult teeth and fixing her poor bite.

Dental Implants

This patient was missing her two front teeth. A failing bridge was damaging the supporting teeth. Using two dental implants and four crowns, we restored her smile.

Orthodontics

This patient had extremely crowded teeth, impacted canine, and an overbite. We used Crozat orthodontics and braces to correct her bite and bring the impacted tooth into the correct position.

Dental Implants

This patient had several failing crowns and missing teeth. Using a combination of dental implants and crowns, we restored his smile and gave him a more youthful appearance.

Braces & Implant

This patient wanted to improve her smile. Her poor bite was causing her teeth to become loose and worn. She also suffered from gum recession. We used invisible braces, a dental implant, and veneers to enhance her smile.

Crowns & Orthodontic

This patient had old crowns, tooth decay, and a poor bite. We corrected her bite with the help of custom orthodontics, which helped her new crowns look better and last longer, too.
