Once we've ruled out cavities or fractures as the cause, we'll recommend a solution to make your teeth feel better and get you back to enjoying the things you love.
Mild Sensitivity: Try over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste, which blocks sensations from

Moderate Sensitivity: Topical fluoride applied to the sensitive areas or sealers to protect the

Relax! We're Here to Keep You Comfortable
Sometimes, an upcoming dental appointment may cause anxiety or worry. But don't stress! There are many ways we can ease your fears.
If the sound of a drill bothers you, a headset with soothing music can work wonders. Also, visualization techniques such as beaches and other beautiful locations can put your head in a more relaxing place.
For those who need more, we can discuss a variety of anesthesia options. Depending on your needs, we can offer everything from local anesthetics that numb a specific area to relaxation agents such as nitrous oxide. We also administer mild to moderate sedation.
We're here to make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible so we can provide the most complete care possible.
Simple Steps to Whiter Teeth
These days, a bright, sparkling smile is a sought-after asset. However, keeping your pearly whites, white isn't always easy.

Using tobacco products and taking certain medications can lead to discoloration as well.
But sometimes the cause cannot be controlled; age and genetics can also play a role.

every day, too. It's important to know that dark colors along the gum line could be cavities
