Understanding Tooth Sensitivity
Why Everyday Foods Cause Discomfort
Tooth sensitivity happens when the protective enamel on your teeth wears down, or when gum tissue recedes, exposing the inner layer of the tooth called dentin. This allows hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods to reach the nerves inside the tooth, triggering pain or discomfort. Sensitivity can also result from teeth grinding, worn fillings, or gum disease. Many people simply avoid the foods they love, but ignoring the problem may lead to worsening oral health.

At Allison Hill Dental Clinic, we provide safe and effective treatments to reduce tooth sensitivity. Fluoride varnishes and desensitizing gels can strengthen enamel and block pain signals from reaching the tooth’s nerve. Our hygienists also give tailored advice for at home care, including gentle brushing techniques, special toothpastes, and diet tips. With regular care, sensitivity can be managed so you can eat, drink, and smile with confidence.
