Sensitive Teeth Treatment in Tripoli, Lebanon
That sudden, sharp jolt when you sip something cold or bite into ice cream is tooth sensitivity — and it affects a great many adults. It happens when the protective enamel thins or the gum recedes, exposing the tiny channels that lead to the tooth's nerve. Most causes are easy to manage once identified.
What causes sensitivity
Common causes include worn enamel from over-vigorous brushing, gum recession that exposes the root, tooth decay, a cracked tooth or a worn filling, and grinding. Whitening can also cause temporary sensitivity. Pinning down which one applies to you is the first step to lasting relief.
When sensitivity is a warning sign
Mild, general sensitivity is often managed with the right toothpaste and technique. But sensitivity focused on one tooth, lingering pain after the trigger is gone, or sensitivity with visible damage can point to decay or a crack that needs treating — so it's worth having checked.
How we treat it
Dr. Barake identifies the cause and matches the treatment: desensitising products and brushing advice for worn enamel, a filling or bonding to cover an exposed area, or repair of decay or a crack. The aim is simple — let you enjoy hot and cold foods again without the wince.
