Sensitive Teeth

Relief for daily discomfort

If eating ice cream, drinking hot coffee, or even brushing causes sharp pain, you may have sensitive teeth. At Rox Dental Studio, we treat sensitivity at its source—protecting enamel, calming nerves, and helping you enjoy your favorite foods again without worry.

How we treat sensitive teeth

Fluoride Treatments

Professional fluoride varnish strengthens enamel and reduces discomfort from exposed areas.

Desensitizing Treatments

Special gels and pastes block pain signals in sensitive areas for immediate relief.

Dental Bonding

Protects exposed roots and worn enamel with a thin, tooth-colored coating that seals out sensitivity.

Gum Therapy

If gum recession is contributing to sensitivity, gentle periodontal treatment helps cover and protect root surfaces.

Night Guards

For patients who grind or clench, custom night guards prevent enamel wear and reduce long-term irritation.

Preventing future sensitivity

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle pressure
Choose toothpaste for sensitive teeth with fluoride
Limit acidic drinks like soda and citrus juice
Avoid whitening products not recommended by your dentist
Schedule regular checkups to monitor enamel and gum health

With the right care, sensitivity can often be reduced—or eliminated entirely.
