TOOTH SENSITIVITY TREATMENT IN LOUISVILLE

Tooth Sensitivity Solutions

At some point in your lifetime you’ve experienced pain or discomfort after taking a bite of ice cream or a sip of super hot coffee. This sensation you experienced is linked to tooth sensitivity. Though it seems like a major problem, the pain caused by hot and cold food sensitivity can sometimes be a sign of a dental problem the experts at Advanced Dental may tell you that you might just have sensitive teeth.

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by a variety of issues, including a cavity or gum disease. In case like these, the source of the problem can be treated. But in other cases, tooth sensitivity is caused because a tooth’s enamel has been lost over time or the gums have receded.

If tooth sensitivity is caused to a cavity, a restoration can be placed over the tooth to solve the problem. If gum disease is the reason for the sensitivity, a thorough cleaning of the area can be performed. And if sensitivity is caused by the tooth’s dentin being exposed, we can perform treatments to reduce the discomfort. No matter the right course of action, at Advanced Dental Center, we can help.
