What Causes Sensitive Teeth?
Tooth sensitivity occurs when the inner layer of your tooth (dentine) becomes exposed through enamel wear, gum recession, or decay. Our team diagnoses the underlying cause and provides targeted treatment to reduce discomfort and protect your teeth long-term.
Diagnosis & Assessment
We carry out a thorough examination to identify the cause of your sensitivity - whether it is enamel erosion, gum recession, a cracked tooth, or decay. Digital X-rays and clinical assessment help us pinpoint the issue accurately.
In-Practice Treatments
Depending on the cause, we may apply desensitising agents, fluoride varnishes, or bonding material to protect exposed dentine. For more advanced cases, treatments such as crowns, fillings, or gum grafts may be recommended.
Ongoing Prevention
We provide tailored advice on brushing technique, toothpaste selection, and dietary changes to reduce sensitivity triggers. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your progress and adjust your care plan as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before starting your dental journey with Dorchester Village Dentist. Can't find your answer? Get in touch with our team.
Why are my teeth suddenly sensitive?
Sudden sensitivity can be caused by enamel erosion, gum recession, tooth decay, a cracked tooth, or recent dental work. A thorough examination will identify the specific cause.
Can sensitive teeth be cured?
In many cases, yes. Treatment depends on the underlying cause - from desensitising toothpaste and fluoride applications to restorative treatments that protect exposed areas permanently.
Is tooth sensitivity a sign of something serious?
Not always, but it can indicate decay, gum disease, or a cracked tooth. It is best to have it assessed rather than ignoring it, so we can rule out or address any underlying problems.
What toothpaste should I use for sensitive teeth?
We recommend toothpaste containing potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride, both of which help block pain signals. Our team can recommend specific products during your appointment.
How long does sensitivity treatment take to work?
In-practice treatments such as fluoride varnish or bonding often provide immediate relief. Desensitising toothpaste typically takes 2 to 4 weeks of regular use before you notice a significant improvement.
