Tooth sensitivity to cold and hot temperatures usually occurs due to thinning enamel and receding gums. This condition sometimes exposes dentin, the second layer of the tooth and even the dental pulp in severe cases. Sensitivity can also occur when consuming sweet or sticky foods.

We can help you determine the origin of the sensitivity and suggest how to treat. Treatment can range from special toothpastes, mouth rinses to more permanent options. Let us help you!
