Do you experience discomfort or pain whenever you consume cold or hot meals and brush your teeth? Sensitivity is a common dental issue but can it go away?
Key points:
– Whether or not your sensitivity is permanent depends on the health of your enamel.
– Sensitivity is temporary if you got it after dental procedures like placing of veneers and root canal therapy.
– Aggressive brushing, whitening, teeth grinding and acidic foods erode enamel, thus causing permanent sensitivity.
Visit your dentist immediately for checkup and treatment. Bruxism patients should wear mouthguards to sleep.
