What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity typically occurs when the protective enamel on your teeth wears down or when gum recession exposes the sensitive areas of your teeth, such as the root. This exposes the dentin, which contains microscopic tubules that connect to the nerves in your teeth. Cold, heat, or even certain foods can trigger these nerves, causing discomfort.
Several factors can contribute to tooth sensitivity, including:
- Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Gum recession due to periodontal disease or aging
- Consuming acidic foods and drinks
- Recent dental procedures

At Ryan J. Poppin, DDS, we offer the Seal & Protect treatment, a revolutionary procedure designed to seal exposed dentin and protect your teeth from external stimuli like temperature changes. Using a safe and effective dental sealant, we apply a protective coating to the surface of your teeth to reduce sensitivity and prevent further enamel erosion.

How Does Seal & Protect Work?
The Seal & Protect treatment involves applying a specially formulated dental sealant to the exposed areas of your teeth.

The treatment is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive, with no downtime required.
