If you’re a victim of tooth sensitivity, then you must be getting tired of avoiding hot and cold foods and drinks as well as feeling uncomfortable the majority of your day. At this point, it’s best to consider your treatment options so you can treat the issue and have a comfortable, healthy smile. To help you, Dr. Morton and our dental team will be happy to explain your treatment options.
The first treatment you can consider is using desensitizing toothpaste. This paste can be found on store shelves and it can help you protect your tooth nerves. This is possible because the product has chemicals that block the pathways that lead to your tooth nerves. Depending on the severity of your pain, it might take a few applications before you notice any improvement.
The second treatment you can consider is a fluoride dental treatment. This treatment is offered at our dental office and we usually provide it after your routine dental cleaning and exam. Once the fluoride is placed in your mouth, it will dive into your teeth and strengthen your tooth enamel as time passes.
The third treatment to consider is professional dental work. Sometimes dental crowns and dental bonding can help reduce tooth sensitivity.
If you use one or more of these treatment options, there is a chance your smile could return to normal health and function! For more information on how to treat tooth sensitivity, please call us at 865-453-1001. If you reach out to our dental team, we will be excited to help you!
