Sensitive Teeth

 
 
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.

Another popular reason for dental pain and sensitivity can be a failing tooth filling which you can learn about by following the link.

Finally your sensitivity might be caused by a hot nerve and you may need a root canal

Smileworks have more Google reviews than any other dental practice in the UK.  Here are some of our favourites from the hygiene department.

I had such a great experience getting my braces fitted with Eduardo! He was absolutely brilliant very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly throughout the appointment, which really put me at ease, and despite... being so thorough, he was also incredibly fast and efficient. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing!Teysir was also super lovely and made the whole experience even more comfortable. And the fact that they played BTS for me during the appointment was honestly the cherry on top! 🙂‍↔️💜 It made the experience so much more enjoyable.I’m really happy with how everything went and would definitely recommend Eduardo and the team. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful appointment such a positive experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️—I also had a hygiene appointment with Paula and Steph, and honestly, it was by far the best hygiene appointment I’ve ever had! They were both so professional, gentle and thorough, and I left feeling like my teeth had never been cleaner.read more

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

Take a look at our main page on root canals here:  Root Canal Liverpool

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.
