Tooth Sensitivity Treatment

If hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods cause sharp pain in your teeth, you may be dealing with tooth sensitivity. At Redwater Dental Clinic, we identify the cause of your sensitivity and provide effective treatments to help you enjoy your favorite foods and drinks comfortably again.

Common Causes of Sensitivity

• Worn tooth enamel from aggressive brushing
• Exposed tooth roots from gum recession
• Tooth decay or cracked teeth
• Teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Recent dental procedures (temporary sensitivity)
• Acidic food and drink erosion

Our Treatment Approach

We offer several solutions depending on the cause:

1. Thorough examination to identify the cause
2. Desensitizing treatments applied in-office
3. Fluoride varnish to strengthen enamel
4. Dental bonding for exposed root surfaces
5. Custom night guard if grinding is a factor
6. At-home care recommendations

Tooth sensitivity is very common and very treatable. Do not ignore it — sensitivity can be a sign of an underlying issue that is best addressed early.
