Abstract

Dental Hypersensitivity (DH) is a common clinical condition yet an annoying disease. Most of the time, clinicians fail to diagnose, leading to improper management and unsatisfied patients, negatively impacting their quality of life. The management involves various self-applied and in-office management modalities. This review briefly discusses several treatment options available for dentinal hypersensitivity and recommends Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) as a newer and more effective treatment option for dentinal hypersensitivity based on the available literature.
