Sensitive Teeth
Book AppointmentSensitive teeth describe pain or discomfort in one or more teeth that is most common when you eat or drink something hot, cold, sweet or sour. You may even experience pain triggered by cold air.
Sensitive teeth are usually the result of worn tooth enamel that exposes the tooth roots. Other times sensitivity can be caused by other reasons, such as cavities, a chipped or cracked tooth, a recent filling or as a secondary effect of another dental procedure.
If you are experiencing teeth sensitivity, it is suggested you should visit a dentist to treat the symptoms. The Teeth and Skin Service Line at The Aga Khan University Hospital provides quality treatment and can tend to all your dental care needs.
When to seek expert advise
When you notice that you suffer from teeth sensitivity, you should visit a specialist who can properly diagnose and treat your symptoms. In some instances teeth sensitivity can be part of a larger issue, so it is important for the dentist to rule this possibility out before treatment.
