TOOTHACHES AND SENSITIVE TEETH CARE
Understanding Toothaches and Sensitivity
Toothaches and sensitive teeth are among the most common dental problems. A toothache often points to decay, infection or damage, while sensitivity usually means the inner layer of the tooth is exposed. Both deserve a proper check.
Common Causes and Warning Signs
Toothaches can come from deep cavities, gum disease, abscesses or cracked teeth. Sensitivity is often caused by worn enamel, receding gums or grinding.
Warning signs include sharp pain when biting, pain that lingers after hot or cold food, swelling or tender gums. If you notice any of these, book a visit.
Effective Relief and Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the cause. We may recommend a filling for a cavity, desensitizing treatment or fluoride for sensitive teeth, a night guard for grinding, or root canal treatment for an infected tooth, so you get lasting relief.
