Tooth Sensitivity Treatment in Allen Park

Categories: General Dentistry

Tooth Sensitivity Treatment in Allen Park Have you ever been eating an ice cream cone in Allen Park when you felt a sudden jolt of pain in one of your teeth? If the enamel is eroded, or the gums have receded, the dentin layer of the tooth is exposed. The substances that cause tooth pain travel to the pulp where the nerves of the tooth are located. Ouch!

Tooth sensitivity can be a signal that something is wrong. It may be caused by periodontal disease or bacteria build-up in a crack in a tooth.

Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of factors including acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding, or cracked teeth. If your teeth are sensitive following a professional teeth whitening such as the ones we do here at Szalai & Szalai DDS, the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our Allen Park general dentistry patients is brushing too hard. That’s right; it is possible to brush too hard!

If you experience constant or intermittent pain in your teeth or gums, call 313-928-2323 right away to make an appointment. Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai take tooth pain seriously.

At Szalai & Szalai DDS in Allen Park, we not only treat tooth sensitivity problems, we also perform entire smile makeovers for cosmetic dentistry patients in the area. You’ll find us at 5329 Allen Rd, Allen Park, MI 48101.
