Clinical Overview

Sensitive Teeth — Causes & Treatment

Most Common Causes

  • Enamel wear from overzealous brushing or acid erosion
  • Gum recession exposing the root surface
  • Small cracks or old fillings leaking at the margins
  • Grinding (bruxism) wearing enamel thin
  • Recent whitening (usually temporary, 24–72 hours)
  • Early tooth decay

Our Clinical Approach

We'll identify exactly which teeth are sensitive and why — that determines treatment. Mild cases respond to prescription-strength desensitising toothpaste and a change of brushing technique. Moderate cases may need composite bonding to cover exposed dentine or gum-line fillings. Grinding is treated with a custom night guard from £280.

Pricing & Finance

Assessment included in routine check-up (from £79 or included with a plan). Desensitising treatments from £79. Composite bonding from £392 per tooth. Custom night guard from £280.

Typical Treatment Timeline

Most patients report significant improvement within 2–3 weeks of starting treatment.
