Do you experience a sharp, sudden pain when eating ice cream, sipping hot coffee, or brushing your teeth? You might be dealing with increased tooth sensitivity—a common but treatable dental condition. At HealthHub Clinics in Dubai, our experienced dental team offers expert care to diagnose the cause of your sensitivity and provide lasting relief, using the latest technology and personalized treatment plans.
Whether it’s a mild twinge or intense discomfort, we’re here to help you enjoy food, drinks, and daily routines without pain.
What Is Tooth Sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity—also called dentin hypersensitivity—occurs when the protective enamel on your teeth becomes thin or damaged, or when gums recede, exposing the sensitive inner layer of your teeth (dentin). This allows hot, cold, sweet, or acidic substances to reach the nerves inside your tooth, triggering pain or discomfort.
This can be a standalone issue or a symptom of underlying conditions such as:
Tooth sensitivity can result from several underlying issues, including:
Enamel erosion (due to acidic foods, brushing too hard, or teeth grinding)
Gum recession (often caused by gum disease)
Tooth decay or cavities
Cracked or chipped teeth
Worn fillings or dental work
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Recent dental procedures, like whitening or scaling
Our dental specialists will carefully evaluate your symptoms to pinpoint the exact cause and recommend the most effective treatment.
Diagnosis: What to Expect
At HealthHub Clinics, your comfort comes first. Here’s how we assess tooth sensitivity:
1. Detailed Dental Exam We begin with a thorough clinical examination of your teeth and gums, looking for signs of decay, gum recession, or enamel loss.
2. X-rays or Imaging (if needed) Digital X-rays help us detect issues like cavities, root exposure, or cracks that may not be visible during a visual exam.
3. Sensitivity Tests We may apply hot, cold, or sweet stimuli to identify which areas are reactive, helping guide the right treatment approach.
Treatment Options for Sensitive Teeth
The right treatment depends on the cause and severity of your sensitivity. At HealthHub Clinics, we offer a full range of proven, gentle solutions:
Desensitizing Toothpaste Special toothpaste for sensitive teeth helps block pain signals over time. We’ll recommend a brand that’s both safe and effective for your needs.
Gum Treatment (for Recession) If gum recession is causing root exposure, we may recommend deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), gum grafts, or other periodontal treatments.
Replacing Worn Fillings or Dental Work Old or damaged fillings may expose tooth tissue—replacing them can quickly reduce sensitivity.
Dental Sealants or Bonding We can apply bonding resin to cover exposed roots or sensitive spots, creating a barrier against triggers.
Night Guards (for Teeth Grinding) If grinding is wearing away your enamel, a custom-made night guard can protect your teeth while you sleep.
Preventing Future Sensitivity
We also focus on prevention. Your dentist will guide you on:
Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle brushing technique
Avoiding overly acidic or sugary foods
Limiting overuse of whitening products
Keeping up with regular dental check-ups and cleanings

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is tooth sensitivity serious?
It can be. Mild sensitivity is often manageable, but persistent or severe discomfort may signal issues like cavities, gum disease, or cracked teeth. It’s best to get it checked early to avoid more serious complications.
Can I treat sensitivity at home?
Desensitizing toothpaste and soft brushing can help, but if the pain persists for more than a few days, it’s important to see a dentist to rule out underlying problems.
Will I need a filling or procedure?
Not always. Many cases improve with non-invasive treatments like fluoride or special toothpaste. But if decay, cracks, or gum problems are present, a dental procedure may be needed for lasting relief.
Does whitening cause sensitivity?
It can. Whitening products (especially over-the-counter ones) can temporarily increase sensitivity. Let your dentist know if this happens—we can recommend safer alternatives or take steps to minimize discomfort during treatment.
