If sipping coffee, eating ice cream, or even breathing in cool air makes your teeth ache, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to put up with it.At Huntington Family Dental, we offer gentle, effective treatments that target the root cause of sensitivity and restore your comfort so you can enjoy life without flinching.
Tooth sensitivity happens when the protective enamel or gums wear down, exposing the dentin layer underneath — where tiny nerves live.
This can make hot, cold, or sweet foods trigger pain that feels sharp and immediate.
Common causes include:
- Receding gums or gum disease
- Enamel erosion from brushing too hard or acidic foods
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Tooth decay, cracks, or worn fillings
- Whitening treatments or sensitivity-prone enamel
The good news? Every cause has a solution — and we’ll help you find the one that fits your smile.

Relief That Gets to the Root
Your comfort and safety come first. Our process ensures every sports guard we make fits perfectly and performs under pressure.
We examine your enamel, gum line, and bite to pinpoint the source of your sensitivity.
We may apply fluoride varnishes or protective coatings to strengthen enamel and calm nerve reactions.
If needed, we address decay with fillings or damaged teeth with crowns. For widespread sensitivity, desensitizing treatments or varnishes may be applied.
You receive custom recommendations—like softer brushing, switching toothpaste, or dietary changes—to shield and strengthen enamel long-term.
You don’t have to avoid your favorite foods or brace yourself every time you take a sip.
Our treatments bring real, lasting relief — so your smile feels strong, calm, and confident again.

Amira came to us after months of sharp pain when drinking coffee or brushing her teeth. She thought it was “just something she had to live with.”
We identified enamel wear and treated her with a fluoride varnish and a gentle bonding layer to seal the exposed area.
Her sensitivity disappeared within days — and her confidence (and morning latte) returned.

Brush with a soft-bristle brush and desensitizing toothpaste. Floss daily, use fluoride mouthwash, and avoid high-acid/sugar foods before bed.
Absolutely—cleaning teeth thoroughly but gently helps prevent enamel loss, giving teeth a chance to repair.
Indirectly yes—stress-related clenching or grinding, and neglected hygiene, can wear down enamel.
Minimize acidic foods (coffee, wine, juice, tomatoes), sugars, and hard foods that can chip teeth.
Low-acid foods like cheese, apples, leafy greens, and dairy promote healthy saliva and enamel.
Let’s stop the zings, soothe your nerves, and bring lasting comfort back to your day.
