Tooth Sensitivity Causes
It is difficult for patients to determine what is causing their tooth sensitivity. Maybe it is consuming something hot, or consuming something cold? What tends to happen is patients just avoid consuming certain foods or beverages to avoid tooth sensitivity. We want to give patients the freedom to consume hot or cold foods without worrying about the painful and uncomfortable effects of tooth sensitivity.
Tooth sensitivity can be caused by factors like:
- Gum disease
- Exposed tooth root
- Damaged or missing dental filling or dental crown
- Fractured or chipped teeth
- Teeth Grinding
- Dental Cavities
