Treating Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity can be caused by a cracked tooth or filling, receding gums, gum disease, and damaged enamel. Most likely, the enamel on your teeth has been worn because of brushing too hard, eating acidic foods, or teeth grinding. Depending on the cause of the problem, our dentist may recommend one or more of these treatments: toothpaste for sensitive teeth, fluoride gel, dental sealants, fillings, desensitizing pastes, or a mouthguard.
