Hypersensitivity
Sensitive teeth
A sharp feeling from cold air or a sip of tea often comes from exposed dentin. With a good diagnosis we tackle the cause instead of just the symptom.
Not sure if your issue belongs here? Call or message us, we're happy to think along with you.
No waiting list. New patients usually within 1 to 2 weeks.

What we do
We look for the cause, seal sensitive spots, coach your brushing and pick a suitable toothpaste. For deeper causes we treat with focus.
You might recognise this too
Dry mouth
A lasting dry feeling in the mouth, often caused by medication or reduced saliva.
Grinding and clenching
Unconsciously pressing or sliding the jaw, often at night. Wears the teeth and causes pain.
Tooth wear
Enamel wears down through acidic drinks, grinding or age. Early intervention preserves your own tooth.
