| | Tooth Sensitivity |
 | | The key to preventing tooth sensitivity is to keep your gums healthy by reducing the pressure you use while brushing, use a soft toothbrush and to maintain good oral health habits. | | | The decision of whether a restoration is needed comes in after an in-office desensitizer has been applied and you have been sent home for a week with desensitizing tooth paste to see whether a more aggressive approach is needed. | | | These tubules allow more stimuli like heat, cold or pressure to reach the nerve in the tooth and you feel pain!. |
