Tooth Sensitivity Treatment in Pune
Does a sip of cold water make your teeth hurt? Tooth sensitivity can have several causes, from exposed dentine and gum recession to decay or cracks. At Amayra Polyclinic & Dental Hub in Pune, we assess the cause before recommending appropriate care.
UNDERSTAND THE CAUSE
What causes sensitive teeth?
Tooth sensitivity commonly feels like a short, sharp pain when teeth are exposed to cold, hot, sweet or acidic foods and drinks. The sensation may come from exposed dentine, but sensitivity can also be a sign of another dental problem. The right treatment starts with finding the cause.
Enamel wear
Acid erosion, abrasion or excessive brushing can contribute to loss of enamel protection and sensitivity.
Tooth decay
A cavity can expose deeper tooth structures and cause sensitivity, especially as decay progresses.
Cracks or fractures
A damaged tooth may react to temperature or biting and needs assessment to determine the extent of the problem.
Recent dental treatment
Temporary sensitivity can occur after some fillings, whitening or other procedures and may need review if it persists.
Diet & habits
Frequent acidic drinks or foods, clenching and aggressive brushing may contribute to sensitivity in some people.
WHEN TO GET CHECKED
When is sensitivity more than “just sensitivity”?
- Sensitivity is persistent or getting worse
- One particular tooth is repeatedly painful
- Pain lasts after the hot or cold trigger is removed
- There is pain on biting or chewing
- You notice a cavity, crack, chipped area or gum recession
- Sensitivity is accompanied by swelling, spontaneous pain or fever
- It is interfering with eating, drinking or brushing
Don't mask ongoing pain
A desensitising toothpaste may help some types of sensitivity, but persistent or localised pain should not simply be ignored. The underlying cause may need dental treatment.
Severe pain, facial swelling, fever or difficulty breathing or swallowing needs urgent assessment.
DIAGNOSIS FIRST
How we assess sensitive teeth
1. Symptom history
We ask what triggers the sensitivity, how long it lasts, which teeth are involved and whether there is spontaneous or biting pain.
2. Clinical examination
Teeth, gums, exposed root surfaces, fillings and visible signs of wear, decay or cracks are assessed.
3. Tests & imaging when needed
Appropriate dental tests and X-rays may be recommended when decay, pulp problems or another hidden cause is suspected.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Treatment for sensitive teeth depends on the cause
Depending on the diagnosis, care may include desensitising measures, fluoride treatment, advice on brushing and diet, treatment of gum recession, restoration of exposed or damaged tooth structure, fillings, or root canal treatment when the pulp is involved.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about tooth sensitivity
Why are my teeth sensitive to cold?
Cold sensitivity can occur when dentine becomes exposed because of enamel wear, gum recession, tooth decay, cracks or other dental problems. An examination helps identify the cause.
Can sensitive teeth be cured?
Sensitivity can often be reduced or controlled once its cause is identified. Treatment may include desensitising measures, fluoride care, restoration of a damaged area, treatment of decay or gum-related care depending on the diagnosis.
Is tooth sensitivity a sign of a cavity?
It can be, but not always. Sensitivity may also result from exposed dentine, gum recession, enamel wear, cracks or recent dental treatment.
When should I see a dentist for tooth sensitivity?
See a dentist if sensitivity is persistent, worsening, localised to one tooth, associated with pain on biting, swelling or a visible defect, or if it interferes with eating and drinking.
How much does tooth sensitivity treatment cost in Pune?
There is no single price because treatment depends on the cause. Costs may vary for preventive care, fluoride treatment, fillings, gum treatment, root canal treatment or other restorative procedures.
