Sensitive Teeth? - End the Misery Now!

This new knowledge will allow you to have cold drinks and breathe in cold air with comfort -- immediately and forever!

If someone you love has sensitivity to cold foods, sweets, the touch of a toothbrush, or even breathing in cold air, we can help.  Dr. Kurthy has now developed an incredible treatment that is quick, easy, and only takes seconds to apply. In 2002, he published his incredible new technique in Dentistry Today, the most widely-read dental journal in the world. 

If you have sensitive teeth, you’re not alone.  It is estimated that between the ages of 20 and 45, one in every four people has sensitive teeth.  People with this condition, known as dentinal hypersensitivity, may be unable to sip cold drinks or eat cold foods with comfort; they may have pain when they eat sweets or fruits; the touch of their toothbrush can send them through the roof; and running or playing in cold weather may cause aching of their teeth.  The condition may affect all of the teeth or just one or two, and it may be significant or very mild.

Our teeth have millions of microscopic holes in the surface of the tooth root.  The photograph to the left, taken through an electron microscope, shows these holes on the surface of the tooth.  If these holes are plugged up with microscopic particles from our saliva, then we do not have sensitive teeth -- but some of us have holes that are wide-open for one reason or another as seen in the photo.  Inside of these holes are microscopic fibers from the tooth nerve.  When cold, touch, sweet, sour, or other changes occur in our mouths, it can cause pain.  After a while, this pain can even become so bad that it can wake us up at night with a throbbing toothache.

The worst news is that long-term irritation of the tooth nerve can result in thousands of tiny stones forming inside the main nerve of the tooth, eventually killing the nerve.  If this happens, root canal treatment becomes necessary.

For years dentists have tried several types of treatment with minimal success. But finally there is some good news about dentin sensitivity.  There is a new procedure that can totally eliminate typical dentin sensitivity in minutes.  Not only is the treatment quick, but it's easy and inexpensive.  There is no drilling, no Novocain shots, and no pain whatsoever involved in the treatment.  In the photo to the left, you will see this revolutionary new product being applied to a sensitive tooth.  All we do is rub it on with a little ball of cotton.

Dr. Kurthy published his technique in the 20th Anniversary Issue of Dentistry Today, the most widely-read dental journal in the world, in November, 2002.

Below, the diagram on the left shows a cross-section of these open (patent) tubules.  You will also see that the 4-META molecules of the desensitizing agent being attracted to the tooth surface and inside the tubules, effectively closing the tubules and eliminating the dentinal hypersensitivity

Below you will see photos taken through an electron microscope -- one of the tooth surface and one of a cross-section.  This time you see the surface of a tooth where the microscopic holes have been totally plugged.

Once these tubules are plugged, the nerve fibers are protected from cold, sweets, etc., and can feel no pain.  Studies confirm that 97% of patients experience immediate and total relief with just one treatment.  The other 3% that do not have total relief usually have some other problem such as a crack in the tooth under a filling.

If you suffer from chronic tooth sensitivity, don't wait until you have a true toothache and possibly need a root canal -- come have your sensitivity stopped now.  Remember, even mild or periodic sensitivity can do damage after a while.  Why wait, now that we have such a quick, easy, inexpensive, and effective treatment?

Seeing is believing.
