What Causes Tooth Sensitivity and How to Treat It
As Dr. Susan Pan, DDS, I often find that tooth sensitivity is commonly caused by exposed dentin due to gum recession, worn enamel, or acid erosion. Patients may feel pain when eating or drinking something hot, cold, or sweet. To address sensitivity, I recommend specialized desensitizing toothpaste, maintaining a proper brushing technique to reduce further enamel damage, and scheduling regular checkups to monitor and manage any underlying issues. By taking these steps, you can help protect your teeth and enjoy a more comfortable daily routine.
