Tooth sensitivity treatment in Butwal

Medically reviewed by Dr. Rekha Pandey, BDS

Short answer

Tooth sensitivity is a short, sharp pain when teeth meet cold, hot, sweet or sour food, usually because the inner layer of the tooth (dentine) has become exposed. Common causes are gum recession, worn enamel, brushing too hard, acidic food and drinks, and decay. It is very common: 62.8% of patients at a Nepali tertiary dental centre reported it (JNMA, 2025). Treatment depends on the cause, so a check-up comes first.

Treatment options

  • Desensitising toothpaste
  • Fluoride varnish
  • Bonding to cover exposed areas
  • Treating decay or gum disease
  • A night guard if you grind your teeth

Frequently asked questions

Can sensitivity mean something serious?

Sometimes. Pain that lingers, wakes you at night or is triggered by biting can signal decay or nerve problems and needs examination.

Does whitening cause sensitivity?

It can cause temporary sensitivity, which usually settles within days.
