Cold sensitivity can occur when enamel becomes worn or when gums recede and expose the root surface of a tooth. Cavities, cracks, and grinding can also contribute to sensitivity. At Newman Dental we examine the teeth carefully to determine what is causing the discomfort. In many cases the issue can be managed with desensitizing treatments, protective restorations, or addressing grinding habits. Our goal is to reduce sensitivity while protecting the long-term health of the tooth.
