Quick answer
What causes sensitive teeth in Bavdhan?
Sensitive teeth give a sharp, short pain with cold, heat, sweet food or brushing, usually because the inner layer of the tooth is exposed. It can also come from decay or a crack. At Hi Smile Dental Clinic in Bavdhan, Pune, Dr. Sagar Borse finds the cause before suggesting treatment.
Dentine can become exposed when enamel wears or gums recede. Its microscopic tubules allow temperature, touch or chemical changes to stimulate the tooth.
Decay, cracks, worn fillings, gum disease, erosion and recent dental treatment can also cause sensitivity. The cause may differ between teeth.
Patient guide
When should sensitive teeth be assessed?
Arrange assessment when sensitivity is new, persistent, worsening, limited to one tooth, associated with biting pain or accompanied by a visible defect.
Lingering spontaneous pain, swelling, fever or sleep disturbance may indicate a condition beyond ordinary dentine sensitivity and needs prompt evaluation.
Patient guide
How are sensitive teeth diagnosed?
The clinician reviews triggers, duration, diet, brushing, grinding, recent whitening and dental treatment. Examination checks recession, wear, decay, cracks, restorations and gums.
Air, cold or touch tests and selected radiographs may help exclude other disease. A diagnosis should be made before assuming a toothpaste is sufficient.
Patient guide
Can brushing technique affect sensitivity?
Heavy scrubbing and abrasive products can contribute to cervical wear or irritate exposed roots. Effective plaque removal does not require aggressive force.
A soft brush, suitable fluoride toothpaste and technique demonstrated for the individual mouth can help. Existing structural loss does not grow back solely by changing brushing.
Patient guide
How are sensitive teeth treated?
Options may include desensitising toothpaste, topical fluoride, bonding, restoration, gum treatment, a protective appliance or root canal treatment for selected pulp disease.
The treatment matches the cause. Products that help general hypersensitivity will not repair a cavity, seal a crack or treat infection.
Patient guide
How long do desensitising products take to work?
Some products require repeated use before benefit is noticeable. Instructions, active ingredients and contact time vary, so the selected product should be used as directed.
Lack of improvement should prompt reassessment rather than indefinite product switching, especially when one tooth is involved.
Patient guide
Can acidic food cause sensitive teeth?
Frequent acidic exposure can soften and erode enamel, increasing sensitivity and decay risk. Timing, frequency and how drinks are consumed affect exposure.
Diet advice should be practical and linked to the identified pattern. Avoid brushing immediately after a significant acid exposure unless a clinician advises otherwise.
Patient guide
How are sensitive teeth reviewed?
Review checks whether triggers, intensity and duration have improved and whether recession, wear, decay or restorations are stable.
Persistent or changing symptoms may need further tests or a revised diagnosis. New spontaneous or lingering pain should not be treated as routine sensitivity.
Told something different about sensitive teeth?
Bring any X-rays, prescriptions and notes from earlier visits. Dr. Sagar Borse will go through them with you, explain what they show and what he would check again, and say whether the earlier advice still fits.
Informed consent
What are the limits of sensitivity treatment?
Desensitising care can reduce symptoms but may not remove the cause. Recession, enamel loss and cracks can require ongoing protection or restorative planning.
No product promises lasting relief. Diagnosis, daily habits and follow-up determine whether additional treatment is appropriate.
Patient guide
What happens at a first visit to Hi Smile Dental Clinic?
Hi Smile Dental Clinic identifies the affected teeth and tests likely causes before recommending home care or treatment. The plan distinguishes general hypersensitivity from disease in one tooth.
Dr. Sagar Borse can assess restorative and endodontic causes and coordinate periodontal or other specialist care when required.
