Is It Normal To Have Sensitive Teeth During Your Pregnancy?
Yes, hormonal changes during pregnancy can make teeth and gums more sensitive than usual. Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting a dental professional can help manage discomfort. We can provide safe pregnancy-friendly solutions to protect your oral health.
What Is The Best Toothpaste For Sensitive Teeth?
Toothpastes containing potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride are often recommended to reduce sensitivity. Using these alongside a soft-bristled toothbrush can help strengthen enamel over time. Our specialists can advise on the best options for your specific needs.
Why Are My Teeth Sensitive To Cold?
Cold sensitivity usually occurs when the protective enamel thins or gums recede, exposing the inner layers of the teeth. It can also be a sign of cavities, cracks or dental wear. Our team can determine the underlying cause and guide you with effective treatment.
What Helps Sensitive Teeth?
Sensitivity can often be reduced through a combination of gentle oral care, specialist toothpaste and targeted professional treatments. Avoiding acidic foods and over-brushing also supports enamel health. For persistent sensitivity, our team can provide personalised interventions to restore comfort.
Is It Normal To Have Sensitive Teeth After A Scale And Polish?
Some mild sensitivity is common after a scale and polish, as the cleaning can temporarily expose tooth surfaces. This usually settles within a few days. If discomfort persists, we can assess your teeth and recommend measures to protect your enamel and gums.
How Long After A Filling Is The Tooth Sensitive?
Mild sensitivity is normal for a few days to a couple of weeks following a filling. It typically resolves as the tooth adjusts to the restoration. Persistent or sharp pain should be evaluated promptly by our specialists to ensure proper healing.
Will My Appointment Be Covered By Dental Insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan and the treatment required. At The Perio Centre, we can provide detailed treatment plans and supporting documentation to help you claim from your provider. Our team are happy to discuss potential costs and coverage before your visit.
