Tooth Sensitivity

If you avoid eating ice cream and coffee because your teeth cringe when the food touches the surface, you may be a victim of sensitive teeth. Approximately 40 million adults in the United States experience tooth sensitivity and Dr. Joseph S Dallessandro does not want you to be one of these people. To avoid sensitive teeth it’s important to diligently visit us twice a year for oral exams and professional cleanings while maintaining a proper oral care routine at home.


Sensitive teeth can be caused by abrasive brushing which means you are brushing too hard, tooth erosion from acidic food and beverages, and gum recession that is likely caused by periodontal disease. To find relief from your discomfort, it’s important to be honest about your oral care habits with Dr. Dallessandro because he can tell you where you need improvement and encourage you to brush more often.


If you have questions or concerns regarding tooth sensitivity, please give us a call.
