SENSITIVE TEETH

Do you prefer a cup of water from the faucet instead of icy cold because your teeth are sensitive?  

Usually there is a reason for sensitive teeth, and the problem may often be treated.  Common causes for sensitive teeth include the following: 

• Cavities
• Gum Recession
• Periodontal (Gum) disease)
• Fractured Teeth

Please be sure to visit your dentist for your regular dental cleaning and exam, and ask if there is a treatment for your sensitive teeth.  Treatment may be as simple as a toothpaste change or periodontal treatment, or you may need a root canal, crown, or gum graft.
