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

A huge thank you to Emma and Steph for an amazing hygiene appointment! They both have incredible bedside manner, and it was hard to not laugh at times. I am an extremely nervous person, but they put me completely at ease. Steph was so reassuring and... patient, and Emma was incredible at talking through each step with me💚 I cannot reccomend them enough! I also felt so welcomed by the WHOLE team, so that was extra special!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

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.
