Sensitivity Overview: Sensitive Teeth Treatment

Dentine hypersensitivity

A common and often underdiagnosed condition, dentine hypersensitivity is described as a short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentine in response to a stimulus, which cannot be attributed to any other form of dental defect or pathology.¹

People who suffer from dentine hypersensitivity report a significant impact on their quality of life, experiencing pain while eating, drinking, brushing their teeth and breathing cold air.² Although dentine hypersensitivity can be managed, many patients avoid discussing the condition with their dentist.³
