Here are some reasons your teeth may be sensitive:
•A cracked or broken tooth: May fill up with plaque, causing inflammation,
•Tooth decay near the gum line: Since you see no decay on top of the tooth, you might not be aware a cavity exists
•Gingivitis: Inflamed or sore gums may cause sensitivity due to the loss of supporting ligaments, which exposes the root surface leading directly to the tooth.
•Teeth grinding: Habitual grinding or clenching your teeth wears down the enamel, exposing the underlying dentin.
•A loose filling or crown: Let your dentist know right away as replacement should be prompt to prevent long lasting damage.
