Before your visit
Will sensitive toothpaste help?
It can help some causes of sensitivity, but may take repeated use.
Does sensitivity always mean root canal treatment?
No. Treatment depends on the cause and may range from desensitising care to restoration.
What will the treatment cost?
The clinic will explain the treatment fee in Indian rupees (₹) after assessing your needs and agreeing the treatment plan.
Can a single sensitive tooth need a different treatment?
Yes. Decay, a crack or a worn filling can cause symptoms in one tooth. Examination helps identify the cause.
When should I book a review?
Book an assessment when sensitivity persists, worsens or affects eating. Tell the dentist which foods or activities trigger it.
