Tooth Desensitization Therapy in Aurora

Sensitive teeth are painful and irritating. Luckily, our tooth desensitization therapy at Dana Dental provides lasting relief from the pain and discomfort. Our teeth consist of four layers: the outer enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum. Patients typically experience tooth sensitivity when enamel is worn down, exposing the dentin and allowing stimuli such as food debris or cold air to trigger discomfort. Stomach acid reaching the teeth at night can also accelerate enamel erosion.
 
Teeth become sensitive for a variety of reasons, including:
  • Worn out teeth due to teeth grinding, brushing too hard or using the wrong type of toothbrush
  • Tooth decay along the gum line
  • Exposed teeth roots
  • Chipped, damaged or broken teeth infected with bacteria
  • Extensive plaque build-up on the surface of your teeth’s roots
  • Recent dental work such as root planning and restorations, teeth cleaning and crowns
  • Use of certain teeth whitening products
  • Gum disease which causes gum inflammation and recession
These conditions can make everyday actions like eating cold foods or breathing in chilly air quite uncomfortable. But with the right dental treatment for sensitive teeth, the issue is manageable—and often reversible.
 
At Dana Dental, our first step is often recommending desensitizing toothpaste. These toothpastes work to block the transmission of sensation from the tooth surface to the nerve and contain fluoride for added enamel protection. In moderate to severe cases, potassium salts and fluoride applications can provide more intensive relief.
 
Patients suffering from sensitivity related to enamel wear may benefit from dental bonding treatments. This procedure involves applying a tooth-colored resin to protect exposed root surfaces or repair damaged enamel. You can learn more about this option on our dental bonding page.
 
If you suspect sensitivity due to unconscious nighttime teeth grinding, our team can help with diagnosis and treatment strategies that protect your enamel. Visit our teeth grinding page for more information.
 
When sensitivity is linked to larger structural issues like missing teeth, Dana Dental also offers restorative solutions such as dental bridges, which help restore function and protect vulnerable areas of your mouth.

What to Expect with Dental Treatment for Sensitive Teeth

When you come in for a consultation, your Aurora dentist will assess your enamel wear and determine whether the sensitivity stems from lifestyle habits, dietary factors, or underlying dental problems. Tests such as the air blast test or clinical examination of the gums and enamel are typically used to confirm the diagnosis.
 
Once the source of sensitivity is determined, our team will create a personalized plan that may include one or more of the following:
  • Prescription-strength fluoride rinses or gels
  • In-office fluoride varnish application
  • Custom-made night guards for teeth grinders
  • Lifestyle guidance on brushing techniques and dietary triggers
  • Professional bonding or restoration of affected teeth

FAQs About Tooth Desensitization Therapy

Q: Is tooth desensitization therapy painful?
A: Not at all. The procedure is non-invasive and aims to reduce discomfort, not cause it. Most patients find relief soon after treatment begins.
Q: How long does the relief from tooth desensitization last?
A: Results vary depending on the severity and cause of your sensitivity. Some patients experience immediate relief that lasts for months, while others require periodic maintenance.
Q: Can children undergo dental treatment for sensitive teeth?
A: Yes, depending on the cause. We offer child-friendly desensitizing solutions and fluoride applications that are safe and effective.
Q: Can dental bonding permanently solve sensitivity?
A: Dental bonding is a long-lasting solution, but it may require maintenance over time. Your dentist will assess if it’s the right choice based on your case.
Q: How can I prevent tooth sensitivity from worsening?
A: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, avoid acidic foods, don’t skip dental cleanings, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
