Let’s dive deeper: dental cleanings target the buildup of plaque — a sticky, mostly unseen film of bacteria that forms when we eat or drink. This bacteria produces acids that can erode enamel and cause cavities.
If plaque isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar, which can irritate and inflame gums, leading to bleeding, gum recession, tooth sensitivity, and even bone loss over time.

If you wince at cold ice cream or hot coffee, you might be experiencing sensitive teeth. This is a frequent issue among adults, often caused by root exposure. At DDS Group, we offer gentle treatments to reduce sensitivity by applying fluoride gels or other soothing agents. This quick process strengthens enamel and helps block pain signals to your teeth’s nerves.
Sensitivity can stem from several causes: bone loss, aggressive brushing, grinding, acid erosion, smoking, gum surgery, cancer treatments, or dry mouth.
Fluoride is well-known for preventing tooth decay and is commonly recommended for kids under 18, but adults with sensitivity or decay history can benefit too. Fluoride treatments reinforce enamel and protect both teeth and gums.
