Tooth Sensitivity Treatment in Elgin

St. Charles IL General Dentistry to Treat Tooth Sensitivity Have you ever been eating an ice cream cone in Elgin 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 David A. Rice, D.D.S., the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our Elgin 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 847-741-2353 right away to make an appointment. David Rice takes tooth pain seriously.

At David A. Rice, D.D.S. in Elgin, we not only treat tooth sensitivity problems, we also perform entire smile makeovers for cosmetic dentistry patients in the Elgin and St Charles IL areas. You’ll find us in the 60123 zip code area.
