This patient complained of sensitivity to sweets and cold drinks along her gums. Turns out that a significant amount of enamel had broken down along the gum line. Combined with gum recession, her tooth's root surface was exposed, causing the sensitivity. Our Los Gatos dentist bonded a tooth-colored filling on her tooth and polished it in order to blend with the natural tooth. Not only did this bonding protect the tooth from sensitivity, so she could enjoy her favorite foods again, but it also improved the cosmetic appearance!
