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

  • I am so happy to have discovered this dental practice, as having ongoing dental issues, it was the first thing I organised when I moved to Newton Abbot. Joanna is an amazing dentist who puts you at ease, explains everything clearly before and during the treatment and you leave smiling. She knows her stuff and I have full faith in her for my future treatment. My appointment with Fran was also excellent. She was thorough, friendly and gave me good aftercare advice.

  • Had a very good session with Joanna Sutcliffe today. She is a very professional and knowledgeable dentist who is an expert at dental implants. She put my mind at ease with her explanations and though I'm not looking forward to the experience I feel I am in good hands.
