Sensitive Teeth

What causes sensitive teeth?

  • Dentine, the layer of the tooth beneath the enamel, becomes exposed
  • Bacteria enter the pulp, the live part of the tooth
  • The pulp becomes inflamed

Treatment

We seal the sensitive dentine with either:

  • Filling
  • Dentine sealant
  • Concentrated fluoride varnish

Prevention

To prevent sensitive teeth there are several things you can do on a daily basis to help:

  • Effective cleaning to remove acidic plaque
  • Gentle use of a soft toothbrush to prevent wear or a powered brush with a pressure indicator light
  • Using a toothpaste containing fluoride as directed by manufacturer
  • Reduction of acid in the diet e.g. fizzy drinks, citrus fruits and wine
  • Consider daily use of desensitizing toothpaste
  • Do not rinse out toothpaste after brushing to retain correct fluoride levels

What Our Patients Say About Us


  • Although having to have 2 teeth extracted today, I can’t praise Chris Robert’s and his dental nurse (apologies for not knowing her name) enough for the care I was given. Everything about the procedure was explained fully in a caring and professional manner and I can honestly the procedure went so much better than I expected. I felt no pain and can highly recommend this dental practice. Thank you

  • As a family we are new clients to El-Nashar, first my wife in 2024 and now (after a wait - they're popular!) myself and the two children. We've all had appointments, and a couple of us some subsequent remedial treatments and the service is excellent! Very glad that they finally had some availability! If you're looking for excellent dental care in and around the Newton Abbot area, look no further!

  • I have had a lot of work done recently and it has all been excellent. The staff are all very professional and kind. Fran the hygienist is very patient and thorough. Everything is explained well. Jo clarifies all options with you. I cannot thank them enough.
