For those individuals who feel pain when they sip their morning coffee or who cringe each time they brush or floss, Chattanooga Center for Comprehensive Dentistry is here for you. Dentist Trey Carico has been treating this common dilemma since 1975.
Daily Oral Hygiene
The first line of defense against tooth sensitivity is proper oral hygiene. Incorrect brushing and over-brushing can lead to receding gums, which results in the exposure of microscopic tubules in the dentin. When these tubules are exposed, acidic, hot, cold, and sticky foods can then reach the nerve cells in the teeth causing discomfort (who are we kidding—it’s pain).
Need a Refresher on Brushing?
Here in our Chattanooga dentistry practice, Dentist Carico can find out if your brushing style is contributing to your tooth sensitivity and get you on your way to proper oral care habits. Our dental hygienists can also give you a refresher course on proper brushing and flossing. While you’re at it, schedule a professional dental cleaning.
Talk to Dentist Carico About Tooth Sensitivity
Dentist Carico usually recommends an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste that lessens tooth pain after several applications. However, some patients may need in-office procedures such as fluoride gel treatments.
Don’t worry if you have sensitive teeth and want to have your teeth whitened. Dentist Carico can determine which professional tooth whitening or at-home whitening systems will work for you.
