Laser treatment of tooth hypersensitivity
ncreased tooth sensitivity (hyperesthesia) is a common problem where patients experience discomfort or even pain in response to various irritants: cold or hot, mechanical friction, chemical substances, etc. A modern and effective way to solve this problem is laser dentistry — treatment using a special laser that helps quickly and painlessly eliminate sensitivity.

What is hyperesthesia and why does it occur?
Normally, the element of the tooth sensitive to external influences — dentin — is surrounded by strong enamel, and near the gum, it is protected by bone tissue — cement. The latter can become thinner due to various mechanical effects, including tooth brushing or curettage procedure. Microcracks and other damage also appear on the enamel over time. Because of this, thin, invisible dentinal tubules are exposed, and patients begin to experience discomfort when consuming cold or hot food, hard food, simply after brushing teeth, etc. The more worn the enamel and cement are, the more pronounced the unpleasant sensations can be — up to severe pain.
Hyperesthesia can be local, when one or several teeth are highly sensitive, or generalized — spreading to almost the entire dentition. In the absence of therapy, the quality of home hygiene often significantly decreases, increasing the risks of developing cavities and other dental problems.
Methods of treating increased tooth sensitivity
To reduce tooth sensitivity, special agents that strengthen enamel through fluoride content and other beneficial substances are usually used. If this method doesn't help, a radical approach was previously applied — removal of the tooth pulp (its nerves), which completely eliminates sensitivity. However, this is an extreme measure that modern dentistry seeks to avoid, as today there are more gentle and effective treatment methods.
Thanks to the latest technologies, such as laser dentistry, you can get rid of tooth sensitivity without pain, risk, and unnecessary intervention. Laser treatment of hyperesthesia provides a long-lasting comfortable effect while preserving healthy tooth tissues.

Laser treatment for tooth sensitivity
At DENTART clinic, a modern erbium laser Doctor Smile Pluser is used, which allows performing a wide range of dental procedures. Thanks to its versatility, effective treatment of cavities, elimination of increased tooth sensitivity, periodontal procedures, and work with soft tissues are possible. The laser provides safe, comfortable, and effective treatment for each patient.
The main principles of laser work in dentistry to combat increased sensitivity:
- A certified dental therapist conducts a professional examination and diagnosis of the condition of the teeth before the laser treatment procedure.
- Laser treatment of tooth sensitivity gives an instant effect, noticeable immediately after the procedure. The laser compacts the enamel, reducing the permeability of irritants to nerve endings, and forms a protective layer that makes the tooth surface smooth and strong. The result is long-lasting, especially when following the dentist's recommendations for hygiene and nutrition.
- Laser treatment of the tooth is performed quickly and efficiently, minimizing discomfort for the patient. Thanks to precise equipment settings, the procedure is painless, providing quality impact on enamel and dentin. Modern laser technology allows achieving the desired result with minimal intervention, preserving healthy tooth tissues.
- The positive effect of laser treatment for tooth sensitivity is noticeable immediately after the procedure and lasts for a long time.
- Laser in dentistry is 100% safe for healthy dentin, which ensures the versatility of the method.
