If you are experiencing tooth pain when biting into hot or cold foods, you may have sensitive teeth. Sensitive teeth are caused when your gums pull back and expose the surface beneath, called the dentin. This soft layer makes up the inner part and roots, which have thousands of tiny tubes that lead to the tooth’s nerve center (the pulp). Proper oral hygiene is the key to preventing sensitive tooth pain. This is why it’s important to visit our doctors at Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A. for regular dental checkups.
Fortunately, sensitive teeth can be treated. The type of treatment will depend on what is causing the sensitivity. Having a conversation with one of our doctors is the first step in finding relief from your discomfort. After he or she determines the reason for your sensitivity, treatment may be as simple as applying an in-office fluoride gel to help you manage the tenderness.
If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
