Sensitive and painful teeth
Sensitivity or pain can be triggered by a number of things, including hot and cold food or drinks, and also has a number of causes.
Sensitivity to cold can be caused by decay, receding gums, or by tooth brush abrasion wearing away your tooth’s hard protective coating of enamel. While special toothpastes or mouthwashes for sensitive teeth may help, you should also visit us as you may need a filling or treatment for gum disease.
Pain and/or sensitivity to hot and cold are usually a sign that your tooth is decayed, or that the nerve within it is irritated. You may need a filling or root canal treatment.
Pain on biting can have a number of causes. An existing filling may need adjusting, or you may have a cracked tooth which needs attention. Alternatively you may have an infection, which could need root canal treatment. Again we would suggest an early visit to the practice.

Dominic is always professional, remembers personal details and cares for my wellbeing. He always shows a keen interest in what is happening with my job and life as well. Dominic is brilliant and I am lucky to have had him as my dentist for most of my life. My teeth are not perfect due to genetic defaults but he has been key, helping me to smile bright.
