Understanding Toothaches and Sensitivity
Tooth pain and sensitivity can be caused by a variety of conditions, including cavities, worn enamel, gum recession, cracked teeth, or infection. Sometimes, the discomfort is temporary, but in other cases, it can indicate a more serious problem that requires treatment. Addressing these symptoms early can prevent further damage and help preserve your natural teeth. Toothaches and sensitivity may be linked to:
Tooth decay or cavities
Gum disease or recession
Worn enamel from grinding or acidic foods
Infection or abscess

Managing Tooth Sensitivity
Our goal is to identify the cause quickly, provide lasting relief, and protect your oral health. While professional care is essential for ongoing or severe discomfort, these steps can help protect your teeth and reduce sensitivity:
Practice Gentle Brushing
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to protect enamel and gums.
Avoid Acidic and Sugary Foods
Limit drinks and snacks that can erode enamel or feed cavity-causing bacteria.
Wear a Night Guard if Needed
Protect teeth from grinding or clenching while you sleep.
Stay Consistent with Dental Checkups
Regular visits help detect and treat problems before they become painful.
