Tooth Sensitivity Treatment at Magnum Dental Clinic Dubai | Lasting Relief for Sensitive Teeth

Rarely. A desensitising agent or fluoride varnish is quick, and most people feel nothing. If restorative work is needed, we use local anaesthetic.

It depends on the cause and your habits. A desensitising application may last months. Fixing the underlying issue, such as bonding an exposed root, tends to hold longer.

Once the cause is properly treated, many patients get long-lasting relief. We avoid promising permanent results because they depend on your diet, brushing, and grinding. Treating the cause gives you the best chance.

A chip can look like nothing and still hurt a great deal. When enamel breaks away, the dentine underneath is uncovered, which is why a chipped tooth sensitive to temperature reacts so sharply to a cold drink, or even to air. Size is no guide to the pain — a small chip in the wrong place can disturb your sleep, while a larger one may cause little trouble. Get it looked at. An exposed chip can crack further, collect decay, or reach the nerve. We may smooth and bond it, place a filling, or fit a crown. Bonding is quick and often solves it in one visit.

Yes, briefly. Some tooth sensitivity after cavity filling is completely normal. The tooth has been drilled, cleaned, and restored, and the nerve takes time to settle. Mild sensitivity to cold for a few days, sometimes two or three weeks, is expected and usually fades on its own. What is not normal is pain that worsens instead of easing, a sharp jab when you bite down, or an ache that persists long after the cold has gone. If tooth sensitivity after a cavity filling persists for a month, come back. Often the filling sits a fraction too high, so that tooth takes the full force of your bite, and a small adjustment settles it within days. Sometimes the bond needs redoing. Occasionally the decay runs deeper than it looks and the nerve is inflamed; we will tell you that honestly. Do not wait it out for months hoping it passes.

If the pain is severe, comes on by itself, lingers after the trigger is gone, or wakes you at night. That pattern can point to nerve involvement.
