Sudden pain is seen the same day. 8-Time Top Doctor; 800+ five-star reviews.

Cause first
Store-Bought Relief Masks It. An Exam Finds the Cause and Fixes It.
Sensitivity is a symptom with several causes, and each one has its own fix, all done in-house. The ADA explains the causes of sensitive teeth.
In-office fluoride & desensitizing
Applied at your visit to calm exposed dentin.
Cleanings & fluorideFillings & repairs
Decay and worn-out fillings replaced with tooth-colored fillings.

What makes your teeth hurt?
What sets off the zing says a lot about the cause. Choose yours to see what it points to and how it’s treated; an exam confirms it.
How it’s treated
In-office fluoride and desensitizing for relief, and a gum graft when exposed roots cause severe sensitivity.
What it can point to
- Worn enamel exposing dentin
- Roots exposed by receding gums or hard brushing
A guide, not a diagnosis. Swelling, fever or a throbbing toothache? Call today: those can be signs of an abscess.
Enamel
The hard outer shell of the crown; acid and grinding can wear it thin.
Cementum
The thin covering of the root, which can wear away once receding gums expose it.
Dentin
The softer layer underneath, full of microscopic tubules. Once exposed, they carry hot, cold, sweet and sour to the nerve.
Nerve
At the center of the tooth: what you feel when dentin is unprotected.
Inside the tooth
Sensitivity starts beneath the surface
When the outer layers wear away or the gums pull back, the softer dentin is exposed, and hot, cold, sweet and sour reach the nerve. That’s the zing you feel.

FAQ
Tooth sensitivity treatment in Lawrenceville, NJ: your questions, answered
The one that matches the cause, which is why it’s found first: in-office fluoride and desensitizing for exposed dentin, a tooth-colored filling for decay or a worn filling, bonding over a sensitive root surface, a gum graft for an exposed root, or a root canal only when the nerve is involved.
Find the cause and fix it at its source. Store-bought relief only masks the zing; an exam at the Lawrenceville, NJ office tells worn enamel, an exposed root, decay and a crack apart, and each one is treated in-house.
No. Most sensitivity is treated without one. A root canal is needed only when the nerve itself is inflamed or infected; the exam shows whether it is, and if so, the root canal is done in-house.
Often, once the cause is treated. Sensitivity after a cleaning, whitening or a new filling usually fades on its own; decay, a worn filling or a crack is repaired; and worn enamel or an exposed root can be protected or covered. Lost enamel doesn’t grow back, so treating it early keeps the fix small.
Call (609) 400-1393 or (609) 303-2005: dental emergencies are seen the same day. Sudden, severe sensitivity, especially with swelling, a fever, throbbing or pain when you bite, should be checked right away. The Lawrenceville, NJ office is also open Saturdays 9 am–2 pm.
A few days or weeks of sensitivity after a deep filling is common. If it keeps getting worse, or your bite feels high, come back in: the filling and your bite are checked, and a filling that touches first is a quick adjustment.
Every plan is different, so your dental benefits are checked before treatment and you know the cost first. We accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted. We work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit.
Yes. The Lawrenceville, NJ office is open Wednesday 9:30 am–7 pm and Thursday 9 am–7 pm, and Saturday 9 am–2 pm. Book online or call (609) 400-1393 or (609) 303-2005.
Without traffic, about 15 minutes from Titusville, NJ and Princeton Junction, NJ, and about 18 minutes from West Windsor, NJ by Route 1 and I-295.
Say so when you book at the Lawrenceville, NJ office, and the team takes your visit at your pace. If you’d like more help relaxing, nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation, in which you can still respond, is available, all given by Dr. Godko.
