Advanced Dentistry Relief For Sensitive Teeth
Many people suffer from sensitive teeth; a condition in which hot and cold foods or liquids, and even sudden puffs of air can cause discomfort and pain.
Tooth sensitivity can be caused by an unnoticed cavity or abscessed tooth can sometimes be the culprit. Over time as you age changes in temperature, as well as behaviors such as tooth grinding (bruxism) and overly aggressive brushing, can cause small, often microscopic cracks or fissures on the surfaces of your teeth, which exposes the inner structures called dentin.
Hypersensitive teeth can cause people to change their eating habits, avoid social situations, or even avoid proper oral hygiene because the simple act of brushing or rinsing causes pain. Relief can sometimes be found by using a desensitizing toothpaste, sealants, or special fillings. It is best to contact Dr. Garpetti directly to discuss the best options for you.
