SENSITIVE TEETH

What can I do about sensitive teeth?

 

Are you grinding your teeth?

Do you catch yourself clenching your teeth during the day? Does your spouse tell you you grind your teeth at night? Is your jaw usually sore in the morning? If so, you could possibly be wearing down your good enamel – the outside white part of the tooth – and slowly exposing the inside layers of tooth close to the nerve. These habits are preventable. It’s important to get an accurate exam to diagnose and prevent or restore your tooth to optimum health.
