Overview
John, a 42-year-old professional, had been experiencing increasing discomfort in his teeth, particularly when consuming hot or cold foods. Over time, the sensitivity worsened, making it difficult for him to enjoy his favorite meals and even causing occasional sharp pain when brushing. Concerned about his dental health, he decided to visit Divi Dental for expert advice and treatment.
Problem
John’s primary issue was severe tooth sensitivity and occasional pain, which significantly affected his daily life. He often avoided cold beverages, spicy foods, and even struggled with routine dental hygiene due to discomfort. A thorough dental examination revealed that he had enamel erosion and mild gum recession, which exposed the underlying dentin and nerve endings, making his teeth highly sensitive. Additionally, a few small cavities were contributing to his pain. Without treatment, the problem could lead to further enamel loss and an increased risk of tooth decay.
Solution
After diagnosing the issue, the experts at Divi Dental designed a personalized treatment plan. John underwent a fluoride treatment to strengthen his enamel and reduce sensitivity. A special desensitizing toothpaste was recommended for daily use. For his mild gum recession, a non-surgical gum therapy was performed to protect the exposed areas. The cavities were filled using a tooth-colored composite resin, preventing further decay. Additionally, he received guidance on maintaining a proper oral care routine, including using a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoiding acidic foods that could erode enamel.
Timeline
John’s treatment was carried out over six weeks. The fluoride application and cavity fillings were completed in two visits. He continued using the desensitizing toothpaste and following the recommended oral care routine. Within the first two weeks, he noticed a reduction in sensitivity. By the end of the treatment period, his discomfort had significantly improved, and he could consume his favorite foods without pain. Regular follow-ups ensured his progress was on track, and within three months, his teeth were healthier and stronger.
Result
John experienced remarkable improvement in his dental health. His sensitivity reduced by almost 80%, allowing him to eat and drink comfortably. The fluoride treatment strengthened his enamel, while the fillings eliminated his cavity-related pain. His gum health also improved, preventing further recession. With ongoing care and regular check-ups, he successfully maintained these results, ensuring long-term dental wellness.
