Chairside Management of Dentinal Hypersensitivity

By Harlan J. Shiau, DDS, DMSc

Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) remains a common condition affecting 10% to 30% of adults.¹ The pain produced by DH can range from subtle—serving as a minor annoyance—to severe, in which it disrupts daily activities. DH can significantly impact quality of life, including the ability to comfortably perform routine oral hygiene. Patients may change their habits to prevent sensitivity by avoiding hot or cold foods/beverages and/or eliminating offending items from their diets.
