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.

Completed a course for dental and periodontal hygiene with Khalid and Molly today, the visible difference from the first visit noticed not just by me but family, too.I was a very anxious patient but Khal has given sound advice, put me at ease and... tips for moving forward for my dental restoration.Care today was above and beyond, couldn’t ask for more - even a serenade from Molly! Thanks again to the whole team for helping me get this far.read more

I recently visited Smileworks Liverpool for my teeth whitening consultation and hygiene appointment, and I honestly had such a lovely experience.From the moment I arrived, Katie gave me such a warm and friendly welcome. I was made to feel really... comfortable, and it was nice to relax in the waiting area with a coffee before my appointment.Daniel Bentley was brilliant throughout my dental examination. He was so professional, reassuring and full of positive energy, which really helped me feel at ease. Steph, the dental nurse, was also so calm and friendly, and she made me feel completely relaxed during the appointment.I had the Guided Biofilm Therapy hygiene treatment, and it was much more comfortable than I expected. Everything was explained really clearly, so I came away feeling like I'd learned a lot about looking after my teeth as well as having a really thorough clean.I left the practice feeling really positive and confident about improving both my oral health and my overall health. I've even bought an Oral-B iO toothbrush to help keep on top of everything at home, and I'm genuinely looking forward to my future visits.I'd definitely recommend Smileworks Liverpool to anyone who's thinking about improving their smile or oral health.read more

The team at Smileworks have treated me for a few years now and the care has been outstanding. All the staff are really friendly and helpful, especially working around my shifts to give me appointments. Eduardo is very professional, knowledgeable and... approachable. He treated my TMJ pain with braces and was very thorough on assessing and adjusting my braces during all the appointments. It feels great to have them off, I have such lovely teeth with no jaw pain. I fully trust the staff and would also like to thank Liv and jay who are always smiling at reception and making you laugh and smile too! Today I saw Kal and Jo for my checkup, scale & polish. The care given was 10/10 and I think Kal is definitely an asset to the team. Thank you all, you are a wonderful team of highly competent professionalsread more

Seriously the worst dental clinic I’ve ever been to. I’ve been visiting this clinic for around 5 years and during that time they messed up my teeth. They did my fillings horribly which did affect my teeth. I did frequent check ups with them, they... overlooked the fact that I needed 2 root canals. When deep cleaning they also don’t polish properly.read more

Healthy Gums
Sensitivity can often be caused by underlying problems with the gums, and maintaining healthy gums is extremely important if you have sensitive teeth. When you come for your routine appointment, our super-qualified therapists and hygienists will be able to diagnose the problem and figure out precisely what is making your teeth hurt. Once we have the cause then it’s just a matter of planning and carrying out the treatment. Gum health is something that you need to ensure in your own bathroom and your treating practitioners will advise you of the best ways to do this and also provide you with everything you need to ensure beautiful, healthy gums long into the future.
To read more about healthy gums take a look here: Gum health
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.
