Sensitive and painful teeth

Sensitivity or pain can be triggered by a number of things, including hot and cold food or drinks, and also has a number of causes.

Sensitivity to cold can be caused by decay, receding gums, or by tooth brush abrasion wearing away your tooth’s hard protective coating of enamel. While special toothpastes or mouthwashes for sensitive teeth may help, you should also visit us as you may need a filling or treatment for gum disease.

Pain and/or sensitivity to hot and cold are usually a sign that your tooth is decayed, or that the nerve within it is irritated. You may need a filling or root canal treatment.

Pain on biting can have a number of causes. An existing filling may need adjusting, or you may have a cracked tooth which needs attention. Alternatively you may have an infection, which could need root canal treatment. Again we would suggest an early visit to the practice.

Everyone in the building are lovely people. I'm a nervous and anxious patient they listen to you and guide you through the process always checking on you and making sure you are comfortable, they give you mini breaks if it's getting a bit much and make the whole experience easier while making you feel relaxed. I couldn't fault anyone in the clinic. Best decision picking this to be my dentist

Friendly, helpful reception followed by a thorough treatment from hygienist with all aspects of treatment explained. Short wait before saw the dentist who was also thorough and explained possible future treatments. Both he and the dental nurse were kind, pleasant and helpful.

Everybody listened to my needs. I have vertigo and a great deal of care was taken to ensure my need to sit up were met even though it was uncomfortable for the clinician and nurse to work on my teeth in that position. Huge gratitude to them for catering to me.

The hygienist is very skilled and always puts me at my ease. She does a thorough job. The dental nurse was really good with the equipment and so I did not feel I was choking once. The reception staff are always pleasant and efficient .

To be honest, going to The Dental Health Centre is a day out! It’s lovely to see everyone, all the staff are fabulous! Dominic is the “world’s greatest dentist”. They’re an amazing team! Thank you xx

I should not have choked twice during my dental hygiene treatment that I was very unpleasant. The price has also gone up too much.

2nd November 2025

I was able to arrange an appointment convenient for me. Maria was extremely thoughtful in providing the treatment I needed within the checkup because she realised that I am housebound and travelling is very difficult. The treatment was quick and efficient and everything was explained clearly. Luckily for me I didn't have to negotiate stairs! It couldn't have been a better experience.

Polite staff and appointment time kept to. As this was only a checkup and not treatment there isn't a lot to comment on.

31st October 2025

I have been visiting this practice for over 30 years and seen many challenges in staff from Denist Hygienist and receptionist. All have given excellent service.

24th October 2025

Staff are brilliant as always

The dentist was fantastic. Had a poor experience with the hygenist who barely spent any time actually cleaning my teeth
