Tooth sensitivity is a painful, inconvenient, and bothersome condition that is very common nowadays. It generally occurs when the gums pull back from your teeth, expose your roots, and allow easy access to the tooth nerves. Other things that cause tooth sensitivity include:

• Worn teeth
• Tooth decay
• Gum disease
• Teeth-whitening products
• Plaque buildup
• Teeth-grinding habits
• Age
• Acidic foods
• Dental work
• Long-term mouthwash use

Luckily, with the modern dental technology available in the world today, all of these problems are treatable. Some treatments include:

At home

• Brushing and flossing regularly
• Using a soft-bristled toothbrush
• Using desensitizing toothpaste
• Watching what you eat
• Using fluoridated dental products
• Refraining from grinding your teeth
• Visiting your dentist every six months for a cleaning

Professional treatments

]]> Despite your best efforts, your tooth may become damaged or discolored. Because of an injury, your tooth may become chipped, cracked, or broken. Perhaps you have decay or a large dental filling that has severely weakened your tooth. In some cases, a tooth may be irregularly shaped or discolored. A patient with any of these dental problems can receive an improved smile by way of a dental crown. There is no need to suffer with any of these tooth problems for long.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over your tooth to repair and strengthen it. Dental crowns are used by dentists to restore teeth. Dental crowns can restore or fix the shape, size, strength, or appearance of your tooth. Your dental crown can save your tooth by doing one or more of the following:

• Protect your tooth from breaking if it is weak
• Restore your tooth if it is broken or worn down
• Cover, protect, and support your tooth if it has a large dental filling
• Cover a tooth that is misshapen or stained
• Improve the appearance of a tooth

Ask our dentist about your options with a dental crown and how a dental crown can help you.
