🥶 Ouch! Ever take a sip of something cold and suddenly feel it in your teeth?
Tooth sensitivity is common, but it's also your mouth's way of telling you something may be going on.
Sensitivity can have a number of causes, including worn enamel, exposed tooth roots, cavities, cracked teeth, gum recession, or even recent dental treatment.
An occasional twinge may not be cause for concern, but sensitivity that sticks around, becomes more intense, or affects one particular tooth is worth mentioning to your dentist.
Don't just learn to live with it. Finding out what's behind the sensitivity is the first step toward keeping your smile comfortable and healthy.
