Sensitive teeth; more than just an inconvenience!

Sensitive teeth? Your smile could be trying to tell you something! 🥶

🦷 A sharp twinge when enjoying a cold drink, hot coffee, or sweet treat isn’t something you should ignore.

🦷 Tooth sensitivity can occur for several reasons, including:
▫️ Worn enamel
▫️ Receding gums
▫️ Tooth decay
▫️ Cracked teeth
▫️ Teeth grinding

🦷 While sensitivity is common, it’s not always “normal.” In many cases, it can be a sign of an underlying issue that may worsen if left untreated.

If sensitive teeth are stopping you from enjoying your favourite foods and drinks, it may be time for a dental check-up. 💙
