Here are the most effective in-clinic treatments we offer at AK Dental Clinic to manage and reduce tooth sensitivity:

1. Desensitizing Treatments

We offer professional fluoride varnishes and desensitizing agents applied directly to sensitive areas. These seal the exposed dentin and help block pain signals from the tooth surface to the nerve.

✔ Ideal for mild to moderate sensitivity
✔ Quick, painless procedure
✔ Often requires follow-up sessions for long-term relief

2. Dental Bonding

If you have worn enamel or receding gums, we may recommend bonding. A tooth-colored resin is applied over the exposed area, protecting the sensitive part of the tooth and preventing discomfort.

✔ Minimally invasive
✔ Also improves appearance
✔ Commonly used for sensitivity caused by gum recession

3. Dental Crowns or Inlays

If the cause of sensitivity is a cracked tooth or large decay, placing a dental crown or inlay can protect the structure and eliminate discomfort. These restorations provide a solid shield against thermal stimuli like hot or cold food.

✔ Durable and long-lasting
✔ Restores strength and aesthetics
✔ Often used for molar sensitivity

4. Gum Grafting Surgery

For more advanced gum recession, soft tissue grafts may be necessary. This procedure involves taking healthy gum tissue from another part of the mouth and attaching it to the exposed root surface.

✔ Restores gum line
✔ Reduces long-term sensitivity
✔ Enhances tooth support

As one of the leading dental clinics in Vile Parle, we perform gum grafting with precision and comfort, especially for patients with advanced gum disease.

5. Root Canal Treatment

In severe cases where sensitivity is caused by nerve damage or deep decay, a root canal treatment is the most effective solution. The inflamed pulp is removed, and the tooth is sealed – ending the pain permanently.

✔ Ideal for chronic, sharp sensitivity
✔ Painless under local anesthesia
✔ Restores function and saves the natural tooth

6. Night Guards for Teeth Grinding

Patients who grind their teeth at night often experience enamel erosion and subsequent sensitivity. A custom night guard can prevent further wear and reduce pressure on the teeth.

✔ Comfortable and customized
✔ Prevents further enamel loss
✔ Ideal for bruxism-related sensitivity

At AK Dental Clinic, we don’t just mask bad breath – we treat it from the source. Here are the most effective treatments we offer:

1. Professional Dental Cleaning

Plaque and tartar buildup can harbor bacteria that contribute to bad breath. Regular scaling and polishing at our clinic can eliminate this issue and restore freshness.

2. Tongue Cleaning

The tongue harbors millions of bacteria that produce foul-smelling gases. We recommend tongue scraping or using a tongue-cleaning toothbrush to reduce bacterial load.

3. Treating Gum Disease

If gum infections are the cause, our dentists perform deep cleaning, root planing, or laser therapy to treat the infection and restore gum health.

4. Cavity and Infection Treatment

Cavities, abscesses, or infected root canals can be silent sources of bad breath. Our team will identify and treat any such issues promptly – restoring both function and freshness.

5. Saliva-Boosting Solutions

If dry mouth is a concern, we offer solutions including prescription mouth rinses, artificial saliva products, and dietary tips to increase natural saliva flow.
