Sensitive Teeth?

What Causes Tooth Sensitivity

Many people have gum recession or what is sometimes called “sensitive teeth”. This dental problem can happen because you have or have had gum disease that has caused gum recession, you brush aggressively, you have recently had your teeth whitened, you grind your teeth, or you have had poor-quality fillings or crowns.

Treatments for Tooth Sensitivity

Fortunately, many treatments are available for patients with sensitive teeth, designed to help you enjoy cold food and drink again. These treatments range from desensitizing agents to well-sealed fillings.

Toothpaste and Sensitive Teeth

Sometimes your toothpaste can make a difference when it comes to tooth sensitivity and gum recession. Your choice of toothpaste matters because some toothpaste is very abrasive and can inadvertently cause sensitivity.

Call to Make an Appointment so you can Feel Better.

While tooth sensitivity is often caused by gum recession and is fairly straightforward to treat, it can also result from other dental problems such as tooth decay. If you are having tooth sensitivity, we encourage you to make an appointment so Dr. Waghela or Dr. Anjli can provide you with a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment
