Remedies for tooth sensitivity focus on two approaches- reducing enamel wear, and strengthening remaining tooth structure, which in turn reduces tooth sensitivity. When a patient comes to our dental clinic in Pune, we first identify the cause for sensitivity, and then address it, using a comprehensive, evidence-based approach.
Dental procedures such as placement of a crown (if needed), or a soft tissue graft, also lead to providing a barrier over the tooth. Tooth sensitivity is not usually due to tooth infection, but because of decrease in enamel or exposure of the root, due to habits such as aggressive toothbrushing.
