Tooth sensitivity can turn simple pleasures—like enjoying a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing scoop of ice cream—into painful experiences. At Trinity Dental & Implant Center in Ceres, CA, we specialize in providing lasting solutions for sensitive teeth. Whether your discomfort is mild or severe, our team will identify the cause and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Patients from both Ceres and Modesto trust us to bring comfort and confidence back to their smiles.

What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity occurs when the protective enamel on your teeth becomes worn or when gums recede, exposing the dentin or nerve endings beneath. Common causes of sensitivity include:

  • Enamel Erosion: Frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks, or habits like teeth grinding, can weaken enamel over time.

  • Receding Gums: Gum recession from brushing too aggressively or gum disease exposes sensitive tooth roots.

  • Tooth Decay or Damage: Cracks, chips, and untreated cavities can lead to heightened sensitivity.

  • Overuse of Whitening Products: Whitening agents can temporarily irritate the nerves in your teeth.

  • Post-Dental Work Sensitivity: It's normal to feel sensitivity after treatments like fillings or crowns, though it usually subsides quickly.

How We Treat Tooth Sensitivity

At Trinity Dental & Implant Center, we offer a range of personalized treatments to address the root cause of your sensitivity.

 

Professional Fluoride Treatments

Strengthen weakened enamel and protect exposed areas with professional fluoride applications that reduce sensitivity and promote long-term oral health.

 

Desensitizing Toothpaste

We recommend clinical-grade desensitizing toothpaste to block nerve signals, helping to relieve discomfort when you eat or drink.

 

Sealants or Bonding

For patients with exposed dentin or enamel loss, we apply dental bonding or protective sealants to cover sensitive areas and provide instant relief.

 

Gum Treatments

If gum recession is causing your sensitivity, options like gum grafting or the innovative pinhole gum rejuvenation procedure can restore gum coverage and reduce discomfort.

 

Custom Night Guards

If grinding or clenching is contributing to enamel wear, a custom-fitted night guard can protect your teeth and alleviate sensitivity.

​

Preventing Tooth Sensitivity

Preventing sensitivity starts with protecting your teeth and gums. Here are a few tips to help you avoid recurring issues:

  • Brush Gently: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid aggressive brushing techniques.

  • Rinse Wisely: Rinse with a fluoride mouthwash to strengthen enamel and protect against decay.

  • Limit Acidic Foods and Drinks: Minimize consumption of sodas, citrus fruits, and other acidic foods that erode enamel.

  • Wear a Night Guard: If you grind your teeth, a custom night guard can prevent damage to your enamel.

  • Schedule Regular Checkups: Routine dental visits can catch early signs of gum issues or enamel erosion before they worsen.
