My teeth seem sensitive lately when I drink hot or cold. What is causing that?
Depending on the severity of the sensitivity, it is best to have a dentist diagnose the cause of your discomfort. Over time, gums may recede causing areas of the tooth to become exposed and sensitive. There may be a gap between one of your fillings and the tooth where decay has set it. Some patients experience mild sensitivity following whitening procedures. In any case, provided that there is no clinical cause for the pain, there are in-office treatments that Dr. Gershkowitz can perform that will block tooth pain. In mild cases, she may recommend specialized toothpaste.
