For those of you in the Mechanicsville area who feel pain when you sip your morning coffee or who cringe each time you brush or floss, St. Mary’s Dental is here for you.
Doctor Gina McCray has been treating this common dilemma since 1992.
The first line of defense against tooth sensitivity is proper oral hygiene. Incorrect brushing and over-brushing can result in receding gums, which leads to the exposure of microscopic tubules in the dentin. When these tubules are exposed, acidic, hot, cold, and sticky foods can then reach the nerve cells in the teeth causing discomfort.
Here in our Mechanicsville dentistry practice, our personal staff can determine if your brushing style is contributing to your tooth sensitivity issues and get you on your way to proper oral care habits.
Gina McCray usually recommends an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste that reduces tooth pain after several applications. Most Mechanicsville area drugstores carry it. However, some Mechanicsville patients may need in-office procedures such as fluoride gel treatments available at St. Mary’s Dental.
Don’t worry if you have sensitive teeth in Mechanicsville and want to have your teeth whitened. Here at St. Mary’s Dental, doctor McCray can determine which professional tooth whitening or at-home whitening procedures will work for you.
