Sensitive teeth treatment
Traditional treatments
There are a variety of toothpastes for sensitive teeth available on the market containing potassium nitrate which can help reduce tooth sensitivity. In addition there are other toothpastes that contain strontium chloride which stimulate the minerals in your saliva to crystallise and cover the pores on the exposed roots preventing cold stimuli from antagonising the tooth nerve.
Other treatments include flouride mouthwashes and oxalate compounds which when rubbed on the root reduces its sensitivity.
Laser treatment
Clinical studies have shown that treatment of sensitive teeth with laser therapy has been effective in reducing tooth sensitivity. When applied to the dentine and pulp the laser suppresses the potential of the nerve fibres by eliminating the tubules.
Fotona laser systems incorporating a Nd:YAG laser are the perfect tool for effectively reducing tooth sensitivity and ther effects last longer than after conventional treatments.
