TOOTHACHES AND SENSITIVE TEETH
Personalized Care for Lasting Relief
Understanding Toothaches and Sensitivity
Why They Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Tooth pain and sensitivity can come from cavities, worn enamel, gum recession, cracked teeth, or infections. While some discomfort may be temporary, persistent pain often signals a more serious issue that needs professional attention. Addressing these symptoms early can prevent further damage, relieve discomfort, and help preserve your natural teeth.
- Tooth decay or cavities

Managing Tooth Sensitivity
Relief and Protection for Your Smile
At Laser Dental Bakersfield, our goal is to find the cause of your discomfort quickly and provide effective, lasting relief. Along with professional treatments, simple daily habits can help protect your teeth and reduce sensitivity.
- Practice Gentle Brushing – Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to protect enamel and gums
- Avoid Acidic and Sugary Foods – Limit snacks and drinks that erode enamel or fuel cavity-causing bacteria
- Wear a Night Guard if Needed – Protect teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep
- Stay Consistent with Dental Checkups – Routine visits allow early detection and treatment before problems become painful
