Toothaches and Sensitive Teeth
Relief
for Pain, Sensitivity and Gum-Related Discomfort
Understanding Tooth Pain and Sensitivity
At Thomas & Anderegg Periodontic Clinic, we identify the underlying cause, often related to the gums, bone, or exposed root surfaces, and provide gentle, targeted treatment to restore comfort and protect long-term oral health.
Toothaches and sensitivity can develop from a variety of gum and periodontal concerns. When the gums recede, become inflamed, or form deep pockets, the root surface becomes exposed, triggering discomfort. Common causes include:
Gum recession exposing sensitive root surfaces
Periodontal inflammation or infection
Deep pockets harboring bacteria
Cracked or compromised teeth
What to Expect During Your Evaluation
Our periodontists use advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the exact source of pain or sensitivity. Your visit includes a thorough assessment designed to provide fast relief and long-term protection.
Comprehensive Periodontal Exam
We assess gum health, recession levels, pocket depths, and the condition of supporting bone.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital X-rays or 3D imaging help identify hidden inflammation, cracks, or bone loss.
Targeted Treatment Solutions
Based on your diagnosis, treatment may include deep cleaning, desensitizing therapy, soft tissue grafting, bite adjustments, or protective restorations.
Comfort and At-Home Care Guidance
We provide personalized recommendations to manage sensitivity, prevent flare-ups, and support long-term gum stability.
