Maintain Oral Health Without Sensitivity Pain

Teeth sensitivity begins with gum recession or dentin exposure. Once exposed, brushing techniques and other factors wear down your roots at the places the tooth is softer, exposing small pores that run directly into the nerve. These pores open up access to the nerve so certain substances like hot or cold beverages can trigger it to respond. The feeling can range from discomfort to sever pain. Topical solutions like specially formulated toothpaste can provide temporary relief but if you want something longer term laser desensitization may be the solution.

Our procedure directs laser energy combined with fluoride to block the pores of the tooth while increase the thickness of the fluid within. For the patient it is a simple, pain-free way to reduce and eliminate sensitivity. Both Dr. Mangat and Registered Dental Hygenist Mildred are professionally trained in the procedure and available to share more details if you are exploring this solution.

Considerations around laser desensitization include;

• Less discomfort during oral treatments
• Depending on severity, more than one treatment may be required
• The laser is painless, requires no anesthetic and produces no side effects
• Results typically last between 6-12 months
