Does a sip of cold water make you wince? Or does a hot drink suddenly feel uncomfortable? đڎ
Tooth sensitivity is common, but itâs not something you simply have to put up with.
You might notice:
A sharp twinge when eating or drinking something cold or hot
Discomfort when enjoying sweet or acidic foods
Sensitivity when brushing your teeth
A sudden reaction to cold air
There are several possible reasons for sensitive teeth. Your enamel may have become worn, your gums may have receded, or your teeth may be exposed to more pressure or acidity than usual. Sometimes, sensitivity can also be linked to problems such as tooth decay, a crack or an issue with an existing filling.
The important thing is not to guess the cause yourself.
If sensitivity is new, persistent, getting worse, or affecting what you eat and drink, itâs worth having it checked. Finding the cause means your dental team can advise you on the most appropriate way to manage it.
At Oatlands Dental Lounge, we believe dental care should feel reassuring, personal and judgement-free. We take the time to listen to what youâre experiencing and help you understand what your teeth are telling you.
Donât let sensitive teeth stop you enjoying the things you love. If youâve noticed a change in your teeth, get in touch with our team for advice. đ
