Glenn Hartas:
You’re listening to Way FM 105.3 - your positive alternative.
Now today we’re tackling something a lot of people deal with but often ignore - sensitive teeth. If your mouth’s sending you signals, our mate Dr Bing from Innova Dental is here to help us decode them. Welcome back, Dr Bing!

Dr Bing:
Hey Glenn, it’s great to be back!

Glenn Hartas:
So, let’s talk about that sharp zing when you drink something cold… or sweet… or even brush your teeth. What’s going on there?

Dr Bing:
That “zing” is your tooth is a way of saying, “Hey—something’s not right!”
Tooth sensitivity can come from worn enamel, gum recession, cracked teeth, or even decay. Sometimes it’s minor, but it can also be the early warning sign of a bigger problem.

Glenn Hartas:
And it’s not something you should just put up with?

Dr Bing:
Exactly. Sensitivity can be treated, but only if we know what's causing it. That’s why we always say “don’t ignore it”. Even a simple fix like using desensitising toothpaste only works when the underlying cause isn’t something more serious.

Glenn Hartas:
So what should someone do if they’re dealing with sensitivity every day?

Dr Bing:
Come in for an examination, we’ll take a close look, talk you through what’s going on, and give you options that suit your needs, lifestyle and budget. Sometimes it’s a filling for a cavity, other times it’s gum care. Whatever it is, we make it clear to you and tailored to your needs.

Glenn Hartas:
And I love how your team at Innova Dental always takes that calm, patient-first approach. No pressure, no judgement. I love that!

Dr Bing:
Thanks Glenn - yes, we believe every smile deserves care, not criticism. If your teeth are sensitive, we’re here to help - no lectures, just solutions.

Glenn Hartas:
