Sensitive Teeth Treatment in Ealing

Sharp twinges with cold drinks, hot coffee or sweet food? Our sensitive teeth treatment in Ealing identifies the cause and recommends the right combination of toothpaste, technique and dental treatment to settle it.

01 — Why it matters
Sensitivity means the dentine is exposed.

Tooth sensitivity happens when the protective enamel wears away and the softer dentine underneath is exposed. The tiny tubes inside the dentine then send signals straight to the nerve — and you feel them.

It can come and go, but persistent sensitive teeth almost always have a fixable cause. Our team in Ealing can spot the problem early — before it becomes painful or harder to treat.

02 — Symptoms

The classic signs.

The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:

  1. 01Pain or discomfort with cold drinks or air
  2. 02Sharp pain that comes and goes
  3. 03Discomfort with hot food and drinks
  4. 04Sensitivity to sweet or acidic food
  5. 05Lingering ache after brushing
03 — Causes

Where it comes from.

The most common culprits:

Tooth decay
A cavity exposing the inner tooth.
Receding gums
Exposed root surface near the gum line.
Cracked or chipped teeth
Tiny cracks reaching the dentine.
Plaque build-up
Bacteria irritating the gum and root.
Acidic diet
Wine, citrus and fizzy drinks weaken enamel.
Grinding & hard brushing
Both wear enamel away quickly.
04 — When to see a dentist

Don't wait it out.

Speak to your Stunning Smile Clinic dentist if you're experiencing any of the following — book an appointment as soon as you can:

  • Pain lasts longer than a day or two.
  • Your pain is severe or becoming unbearable.
  • You have chipped, cracked, loose or worn teeth.
  • You're worried about how your teeth feel overall.
05 — What to do about the pain

In discomfort right now?

If you're in pain right now, call us and we'll book you in for an emergency appointment. In the meantime, switch to a soft-bristled brush, use a sensitive toothpaste twice a day and avoid very cold or acidic drinks.

06 — What's next

A plan, not a quick fix.

We'll find the cause of your sensitive teeth in Ealing and recommend the right mix of treatments — high-fluoride toothpaste, fluoride varnish, fillings, gum care or, where the nerve is affected, root canal treatment.
