Dental Sensitivity

Are Your Teeth Sensitive?

Directly below the hard outer layer of enamel that surrounds your tooth is a tissue known as dentin. This protective layer surrounds and connects to the pulpy inner portion of your tooth. While dentin is almost as hard as the outer enamel, it is composed of microscopic pores that lead to exposed root surfaces, which can cause sensitivity. If you are experiencing moderate to severe sensitivity to temperature extremes or sweets, we can help. We offer desensitizing agents, which may be used to seal the microscopic pores and reduce the likelihood of pain. These agents can also be used during certain procedures to reduce the problem of post-treatment sensitivity.
