Tooth sensitivity can be a sign of various issues like
Naturally shrinking gums, if you’re over 40, it could be that your gums are showing signs of wear and tear by pulling away from your teeth and uncovering your tooth roots. Those roots don’t have enamel to protect them, so they’re much more sensitive than the rest of your tooth.
We Dr.Nechupadam Dental, Marine Drive will examine your gums because Gum reduction can be a sign of other problems, like gum disease. Serious cases may need a gum graft. That moves tissue from somewhere else to cover the bare area.
Plaque and tartar build up on your teeth can make your gums pull back. Sometimes, disease can set in. It can destroy the bony support of your tooth. Don’t smoke. It can lead to gum disease. Dr.Thomas Nechupadam may do a deep clean of your teeth, called planning or scaling, that scrapes tartar and plaque below the gum line.
When you break a tooth, the crack can go all the way down to your root. You’ll notice pain when your tooth is cold. How your dentist fixes the crack depends on how deep it goes. If it’s a small crack that ends before your gums start, your dentist can fill it. If it’s below your gum line, your tooth will have to be pulled.
