This should subside within a couple of days. If not, please call our clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bleaching<\/a> your teeth will also cause temporary pain that will decrease over time.<\/p>\n

As a rule of thumb, any tooth sensitivity that lasts more than a week should be checked by your dentist.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Chronic Sensitivity” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23434947″ google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1487090828199{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]Different conditions may cause lingering tooth sensitivity. The most common ones are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tooth decay<\/a> that, if left untreated, may transform into an abscess<\/li>\n
  2. Nocturnal or diurnal teeth grinding<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Cracked tooth<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Thinned enamel<\/li>\n
  5. Plaque build-up<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The best way to prevent tooth sensitivity, or diminish its effects when present, is to use toothpaste for sensitive teeth paired with a soft bristle toothbrush, floss and rinse your mouth with fluoride or antiseptic mouthwash daily, and get regular check-ups.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”PAIN!” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23434947″ google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1644859300918{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]If you suffer from constant throbbing or shooting pain that keeps you awake at night or prevents you from eating or going about your normal activities, call us<\/a> for an urgent care<\/a> appointment.<\/p>\n
