Dealing with dental sensitivity can feel very confusing and extremely challenging. Fortunately, we are here to help you in multiple ways! First, recognize that it’s very important to figure out what’s causing your discomfort because it might be nothing much at all (but then again, it might be something requiring a repair very soon). Next, keep in mind that you can likely relieve the sensitivity for now, so that you’re feeling much more at ease until we get to take a look.

Take The Gentle Route (If Not Already)

We encourage you to begin by asking yourself if you’re taking the gentlest route possible with your oral health. If the answer is no, then you may have dental sensitivity issues because your brushing is too hard, your flossing is too hard, you’re using abrasive toothpastes, or you’re overdoing it on hard-to-chew foods. Scale way back, make everything nice and delicate, and you’ll be practicing smile care the way you should for safe, comfortable teeth.

Try Out Some New Toothpaste

If you’re using toothpaste that’s abrasive, stop right away! If you’re simply using non-abrasive toothpaste, it’s still time to change: Try out a toothpaste with a formula for dental sensitivity. It can offer you the relief that you need to make it through the day. (Hint: Use exactly as directed, so it has time to work. It will not offer relieving effects on contact).

Make A Visit Your Top Priority

You absolutely need to come in and you should do it as soon as possible. Dental sensitivity is something you cannot decode on your own. Whether you need tips for gentler home care, you have a cavity, or any other issue is causing the discomfort, we will make it better!
