Tooth Sensitivity Treatment At Comfort Dental Centre
As mentioned, tooth sensitivity is caused by an underlying, more complicated, dental issue compromising your oral health. Hence to begin treatment, the cause of your tooth sensitivity has to be determined.
For example, if the cause of your tooth sensitivity is receding gums, your dentist may commence a dental scale and clean. Tartar deposits are scraped off of the teeth, and the teeth’s surfaces are smoothed to allow the gums to reattach.
For tooth decay, dental fillings, onlays, inlays, and other restorative options may be used.
Remember, we can only help you if you help yourself. The earlier you seek help from your experienced dentist, the more solutions and treatments are available.
