Sensitive Teeth? Try Dental Bonding.
If you have sensitive teeth, you know it can be painful. Sensitivity occurs when tooth enamel wears down and exposes the inner layer of your teeth. Extreme temperatures will cause tooth pain. If you experience persistent tooth sensitivity, you may be wondering what kind of treatment will give you relief. One possible solution is dental bonding. Continue reading to learn more.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a procedure where we apply a resin (color matched to your natural teeth) over your sensitive teeth. The purpose of dental bonding is to protect the tooth by sealing exposed dentin tubules to shield the nerves from cold, hot, acid, and sugar. It’s a non-invasive, painless procedure that doesn’t require sedation or anesthesia of any kind.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
The benefits of dental bonding are immediate, reducing the pain from breathing cold air or eating and drinking cold and hot things. Dental bonding is more cost effective than some alternative solutions.
A consultation with a dentist will determine the cause of sensitivity. It is important to ensure that it is not caused by tooth decay or more complex issues that require different treatments.
