Treating sensitive teeth

Sensitive teeth are a common problem in children and can have a significant impact on everyday life. Cold or hot foods in particular can cause pain.

Of course, we will always first analyze where the sensitivity is coming from. We will then develop a treatment plan tailored to your child. This may include, for example, advice on the right toothpaste, fluoridation or tips on dental care at home.

In our practice, we also use the so-called “EMS no-pain prophylaxis”. This allows us to treat sensitive teeth gently and effectively.

Dr. Goedecke and the prophylaxis team at the Kamilla Children's and Youth Dental Center are highly trained in this method and use state-of-the-art medical technology to achieve the best possible results for your children. Below you can find out more about how the method works and how it can also help with an enamel formation disorder (MIH).

Gentle treatment for sensitivity:
EMS No-Pain Prophylaxis uses state-of-the-art technology to clean children's teeth (and those of adults) painlessly. This method is particularly suitable for children with sensitive teeth, as it does not cause any unpleasant sensations. This is important because a visit to the dentist should always be a positive experience, especially for children. This means they will be happy to return for their next appointment.

Strong support for the enamel formation disorder MIH:
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel formation disorder that is often accompanied by pain and hypersensitivity. It often affects the first permanent molars, but can also occur in the posterior milk molars. The teeth are then usually yellowish or brownish in color and look duller than unaffected teeth.

In many children, MIH is the cause of the sensitivity described above. Our pain-free EMS No-Pain Prophylaxis can alleviate the associated discomfort and provide optimal care for the affected teeth.

If we diagnose MIH in your child, we will also carry out further individual measures. What these are depends on the age of the child and the degree of the enamel formation disorder, among other things. One particularly important method here is targeted fluoridation of the teeth.

Promoting dental health:
By gently removing plaque and tartar, we do a lot to promote your child's dental health. This not only protects sensitive teeth, but also reduces the risk of tooth decay and other dental problems.

Positive dental experiences:
With our special Kamilla approach, we also ensure that the appointment is stress-free for parents and children. Painless methods, an empathetic practice team and a child-friendly approach complement the pain-free method.

Individual treatment and care:
Every child is unique. Does your child not feel completely comfortable despite the pain-free treatment? We know the different characters of our young patients and take them into account throughout the treatment. Sometimes they need a little distraction or a relaxing chat during a short break in treatment. No problem at the Kamilla Children's and Youth Dental Center!
