Do hot coffee or cold ice cream make you wince? You’re not alone. Sensitive teeth are a common issue that can significantly impact your quality of life. At Marinaside Dental, we specialize in diagnosing and treating tooth sensitivity to restore your comfort and confidence.
Causes of Tooth Sensitivity
Sensitive teeth can result from various factors, including:
- Enamel Erosion: Caused by acidic foods, beverages, or aggressive brushing, which wears down the protective layer of your teeth.
- Receding Gums: Exposes the tooth roots, which are more sensitive to external stimuli.
- Dental Work: Recent treatments like whitening or fillings can temporarily cause sensitivity.
- Tooth Decay or Damage: Cavities, chips, or cracks can lead to discomfort.
