That Sudden Twinge Could Mean More Than You Thin
If you’ve ever flinched from a sip of cold water or a bite of ice cream, you’re not alone. Tooth sensitivity affects many people and can interfere with daily comfort. At Timber Ridge Dental, we help patients understand what causes sensitivity and how to treat it effectively.
What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity happens when the protective enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the sensitive dentin layer underneath. Common causes include:
- Desensitizing toothpaste
- Fluoride treatments
- Bonding or sealants for exposed areas
- Nightguards for grinding
- Gum grafts for receding gums
Find Relief with a Personalized Plan
Tooth sensitivity is manageable with the right care. Our team will help you find relief and protect your enamel for the future.
