The Reno Dentist Treatment For Sensitive Teeth

Carson City dentistry

For those of you who feel pain when you sip your morning coffee or who cringe each time you brush or floss, The Reno Dentist is here for you. Dr. Shane Sykes has been treating this common issue since 2011.

The first line of defense against tooth sensitivity is proper oral hygiene. Incorrect brushing and over-brushing can cause receding gums, which leads to the exposure of microscopic tubules in the dentin. When these tubules are exposed, acidic, hot, cold, and sticky foods can then reach the nerve cells in the teeth causing discomfort (who are we kidding – it’s pain).

Here in our Reno dentistry practice, Dr.Sykes can determine if your brushing style is contributing to your tooth sensitivity and get you on your way to proper oral care habits.

Shane Sykes usually recommends an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste that reduces tooth pain after several applications. However, some Reno patients may need in-office procedures such as fluoride gel treatments available at The Reno Dentist.

Don’t worry if you have sensitive teeth and want to have your teeth whitened. Here at The Reno Dentist, Dr. Sykes can determine which professional tooth whitening or at-home whitening procedures will work for you.
