Sensitive Teeth and its Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Hello, I am Dr. Bawa, from Bawa Dental Clinic, Sector 40, Chandigarh. Our clinic is one of the oldest clinics in sector 40. We are running this clinic for the last 35 years. 

Today I am going to talk about this very common problem, i.e. sensitivity of the teeth. If you feel pain or sensation in your teeth when you drink something cold or hot, the patient has to visit a dentist. In this case, what I would suggest is, you consult a dentist at your earliest. The earlier it is, the better it is.  But in case the pain is too much, then we may have to go for a root canal and other extensive treatments. But if the sensitivity is less, we can treat it regularly, i.e. the best we can suggest. 

The most common thing with the patients’ practice in case of sensitivity is the use of desensitizing toothpaste. But I would recommend not to use these de-sensitizing toothpaste for a long time as they damage the teeth in the long run. If the cavity is too deep, we might have to go for a root canal and other fillings. So it is a must that we consult a dentist and get proper treatment for sensitive teeth at the earliest. The more we delay, the more we are the losers as a patient.
