Sensitive teeth treatment starts with finding why cold, sweet or air makes a tooth twinge, then calming the nerve and protecting the surface. This post is an informational spoke under ADC’s sensitive teeth service page in Chandigarh. It covers common causes and care options without listing prices.

Care is led with the clinic team; prosthodontic planning when crowns or bite changes are needed is by Dr. Mohit Dhawan, MDS (Prosthodontics, Crown & Bridge and Implantology), ITI Fellow, ITI Section India.

Why teeth feel sensitive

Enamel and cementum normally shield dentine. When they wear or recede, tubules in dentine transmit cold and sweet stimuli toward the nerve. Common triggers:

  • Gum recession exposing root surfaces.
  • Acid wear from drinks or reflux.
  • Aggressive brushing or abrasive pastes.
  • Cracked teeth or leaking fillings (cracked tooth).
  • Recent professional whitening (usually temporary).
  • Grinding (bruxism).
  • Decay that reaches dentine (toothache if pain becomes constant).

What you can do while you wait for a visit

  • Use a soft brush and a desensitising toothpaste as directed on the pack.
  • Avoid lingering on acidic drinks; use a straw when practical.
  • Do not brush immediately after acid exposure; rinse with water first.
  • Skip DIY acid “whitening” hacks.

These steps do not replace examination if pain is sharp on biting, spontaneous, or linked to swelling.

Professional sensitive teeth treatment

At ADC the team looks for the cause before treating the symptom:

  • Desensitising agents or varnishes on exposed dentine.
  • Covering worn areas with bonding or a filling.
  • Treating decay or replacing a leaking restoration.
  • Night guard when grinding is the driver.
  • Gum-care advice when recession is active (gum disease).
  • A crown when structure is badly worn (when you need a crown).

Frequently asked questions

Is sensitivity the same as a toothache?
Not always. Brief cold twinges often mean exposed dentine. Lingering pain, night pain or swelling needs urgent assessment for pulp or infection problems.

Can whitening make it worse?
It can temporarily. Tell your dentist about sensitivity before any whitening.

Are prices listed here?
No.
