Tooth sensitivity can cause discomfort or sharp pain when consuming hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and beverages. It often results from exposed dentin—the underlying layer of the tooth that becomes vulnerable when the protective enamel is worn down or when gums recede.

At Swiss Dental, we understand how disruptive tooth sensitivity can be to your daily life. Our team is skilled at identifying the root cause, whether it’s enamel erosion, gum recession, grinding, or a hidden cavity. We use thorough diagnostics, including intraoral cameras and digital X-rays, to pinpoint the exact issue.

Treatment for sensitive teeth depends on the cause. Solutions may include fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel, bonding agents to cover exposed dentin, or desensitizing toothpaste to minimize discomfort. For more severe cases, we may recommend gum grafts or restorations like crowns.

Preventing sensitivity involves proper brushing techniques, avoiding abrasive toothpaste, and wearing a night guard if grinding is contributing to enamel wear. We also advise reducing acidic food and beverage consumption, which can weaken enamel over time.

If you’re experiencing persistent tooth sensitivity, don’t wait. Schedule an evaluation at Swiss Dental so we can develop a personalized treatment plan to restore comfort and protect your smile.
