Sensitive Teeth

 
 
Sensitivity can be caused by many things and the dental hygiene therapist is the person to diagnose the cause of sensitivity.  Smileworks have an extremely busy and effective hygiene department.  We only hire dental hygiene therapists because they are highly qualified and can help our patients with gum health and sensitivity. 

Any pain in your mouth is usually bad news so it’s important to see the hygienist regularly so we can spot small problems before they become big ones.  Here at Smileworks our Therapists are extremely well qualified and take your gum health and happiness very seriously.  Patients love coming for their routine appointments and feel confident they’ve got their dental health under control and are being looked after by the best in the business.

Another popular reason for dental pain and sensitivity can be a failing tooth filling which you can learn about by following the link.

Finally your sensitivity might be caused by a hot nerve and you may need a root canal

My worst experience at a dental clinic began when I booked an appointment for a hygiene treatment and check-up. After confirming the appointment, I took a day off work, only to find out that the staff had not scheduled the hygiene treatment. Despite... multiple calls and follow-ups, my appointment was eventually rescheduled, but it was cancelled because I arrived 10 minutes late. I was assured that management would contact me to resolve the issue, but after nearly three months of waiting, I have yet to hear from them. Due to the clinic's inefficiency and lack of accountability, I have lost £185.read more

Went in for a consultation as wanted to make a decision between a few clinics I was looking at if I was going to spend such a big amount of money.I must say their general hygiene really let the clinic down and the consultation was very pressurised.

Had a hygiene appointment today with Rebecca and Andreea. They were both very nice and polite and did a great job. They were also very informative and helpful throughout the process. Would recommend.

Take a look at our main page on root canals here:  Root Canal Liverpool

Sensitivity can be caused by infected or inflamed tooth roots and this is something that needs dealing with right away. Sometimes a little bit of sensitivity can spell big trouble in your roots and this could mean endodontic treatment.  This is where your dentist will remove the infected root and replace it with an inert filling material to stop pain and prevent further infection or damage.

In an emergency or if you have pain you can call us to make an emergency appointment or follow the link here: emergency dental treatment.
