If your teeth are sensitive, especially to hot and cold foods and beverages, there can be many factors to consider, including:
- Brushing your teeth too hard
- Indulging in acidic foods and drinks
- Receding gums
- Teeth grinding and clenching
- Recent dental treatments
- Chipped/cracked teeth
- Emerging infections or cavities
- Gingivitis or gum disease
Sensitive teeth may not mean you have a significant oral health issue, but we always encourage you to contact our Lower Templestowe dental clinic to speak with an experienced professional.
Typically, we’ll want to see you in our dental clinic if you have tooth sensitivity that does not improve—such as the expected and temporary sensitivity from a dental procedure.
Your dentist wants to make sure you don’t have an emerging issue that might threaten your oral health or lead to a painful dental emergency, requiring an immediate root canal treatment. Your comfort and well-being are very important to us, and we make time in our schedule for unforeseen situations.
We Encourage You to Contact Your Lower Templestowe Dentist
