Teeth Sensitivity Management In Chennai

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

TEETH SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

Low-Level Laser Therapy  is one of the advanced treatments we provide at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic Tambaram, Chennai. Laser desensitization a form of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), provides immediate relief from sensitive teeth without the need for anesthesia.

The procedure works by sealing microscopic openings in the dentin that lead to sensitive nerve tissue, while directing laser energy into the affected areas to suppress nerve activity by eliminating the exposed tubules.

Additionally, LLLT has well-known anti-inflammatory and photobiomodulatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. Using low-power lasers or LEDs in the red to near-infrared spectrum (650–1000 nm), LLLT stimulates natural healing processes and alleviates pain without causing heat damage or structural changes to the tissue.

Key Features of Laser Desensitization (LLLT)

  • Non-invasive and painless treatment for sensitive teeth

  • Does not produce heat, unlike surgical lasers

  • Often used as an alternative to drugs or surgery

  • Involves exposure of cells or tissue to low levels of red and near-infrared light

MI Varnish Under Teeth Sensitivity Management

At Best Dental Clinic – Dr. N. Deenadayalan, T. Nagar and Dr. Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, we offer MI Varnish as a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for patients suffering from acute tooth sensitivity and weakened enamel.

MI Varnish is a bio-active topical treatment containing RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP)—a unique naturally derived protein that delivers bio-available calcium and phosphate to the tooth surface.

How MI Varnish Works

When applied to the teeth, MI Varnish creates a protective seal over the exposed dentinal tubules (the microscopic pores that lead to the nerves). Unlike standard fluoride treatments, MI Varnish:

  • Rebuilds Enamel: It releases high levels of calcium and phosphate to remineralize “soft spots” on the tooth.

  • Provides Instant Relief: By sealing the tubules, it blocks external triggers like cold, heat, or sugar from reaching the nerves.

  • Long-Lasting Protection: The varnish adheres to the tooth surface, providing a slow-release protective barrier that strengthens the enamel over time.

Glass Ionomer Restoration (GIC) for Sensitivity

For patients whose sensitivity is caused by physical wear at the gum line (cervical abrasions) or deep cavities, we provide Glass Ionomer (GIC) Restorations. This treatment is available at Best Dental Clinic – T Nagar and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic – Tambaram.

GIC is particularly effective for sensitivity because it:

  • Seals Exposed Areas: It covers exposed dentin and roots, physically blocking the triggers that cause pain.

  • Chemical Bonding: It bonds directly to the tooth structure, creating a leak-proof seal that prevents bacteria and cold fluids from reaching the nerve.

  • Continuous Fluoride Release: GIC acts as a reservoir, slowly releasing fluoride into the tooth to strengthen the enamel and desensitize the area over time.

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) – The Ultimate Solution for Severe Sensitivity

When sensitivity becomes chronic, sharp, or lingering, it often indicates that the dental pulp (nerve) is irreversibly damaged or inflamed. In such cases, a Root Canal Treatment is the most effective way to eliminate pain while saving the natural tooth.

1. RCT with Laser (Advanced Laser-Assisted Endodontics)

We specialize in Laser-Assisted RCT, a modern approach that offers superior precision and comfort.

  • Deep Disinfection: The laser energy reaches deep into the microscopic accessory canals where traditional files and rinses cannot go, eliminating 99% of bacteria.

  • Faster Healing: The bio-stimulation effect of the laser reduces post-operative swelling and promotes faster tissue healing.

  • Increased Success Rate: By ensuring a sterile environment inside the tooth, laser-assisted RCT significantly reduces the chances of reinfection.

  • Minimal Discomfort: The precision of the laser makes the procedure quieter and often much more comfortable for the patient.

    2. Traditional RCT (Without Laser)

    At our clinics, even our traditional Root Canal Treatments are performed using the latest rotary endodontic technology to ensure efficiency and safety.

    • Pain Relief: The primary goal is to remove the infected pulp that is causing the extreme sensitivity.

    • Structural Restoration: After cleaning and sealing the canals, the tooth is reinforced with a custom-fit crown to restore full chewing function.

    • Reliable Results: A time-tested procedure performed by our expert endodontists to ensure long-term tooth preservation.

      💬Frequently Asked Questions ?

      LLLT / Tooth Sensitivity FAQ - Best Dental Clinic
      My teeth hurt when I drink cold water or eat sweets. Do I really need laser treatment?
      If your teeth react painfully to cold, hot, or sweet foods, it’s a sign that the dentin or nerve is exposed. LLLT, available at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai, targets the cause by sealing these tiny channels and calming the nerves, providing real relief rather than just masking symptoms.
      How is LLLT different from regular desensitizing toothpaste or gels?
      Toothpaste only temporarily blocks sensitivity and requires long-term use. LLLT actually seals the dentin tubules and reduces nerve activity, offering faster and longer-lasting relief. At Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai, patients usually feel the difference immediately after the session.
      Will it hurt? I’m scared of lasers on my teeth.
      LLLT is completely painless. The laser used is low-power and does not generate heat or damage your teeth. Many patients describe it as a gentle warming or soothing sensation at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai.
      How long does one session take? Do I need multiple visits?
      Each session usually lasts 10–20 minutes, depending on how many teeth are sensitive. Some patients need only one session, while others may require 2–3 sessions for optimal results. The dentist at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai or Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai will advise a personalized plan.
      Are there any risks or side effects?
      LLLT is very safe with almost no side effects. Unlike surgical lasers, it’s non-invasive and won’t harm your teeth or gums. Our dentists at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai ensure the procedure is done precisely for your comfort.
      Can I eat, drink, or brush my teeth after treatment?
      Yes. There are no restrictions. You can resume normal eating and oral hygiene immediately. Dentists at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai may also recommend specific toothpaste or tips to maintain the results.
      How long will the effects last?
      With good oral care, the effects can last months to years. Avoiding acidic foods, using a soft toothbrush, and regular dental check-ups help maintain sensitivity-free teeth. Our teams at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai provide guidance for long-term care.
      I have multiple sensitive teeth. Will laser treatment work on all of them at once?

      I have gum recession and sensitive teeth. Can LLLT help?
      Absolutely. LLLT not only reduces nerve sensitivity but also promotes healing of surrounding tissues. Patients with mild to moderate gum recession often notice reduced discomfort and improved oral health after treatment at Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan, T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic, Tambaram, Chennai.
      Is this suitable for kids or elderly patients?
