Hot / Cold Sensitivity

Wellness Wednesday

Unknowingly clenching your teeth is one of the most common causes of cold sensitivity, which you may experience while drinking that iced-cold beverage this late spring. The pressure causes gum recession, enabling fluid to flow near the nerves, inciting a painful zing.

Your dentist can recommend a special toothpaste to strengthen sensitive areas; perform a brief, pain-free procedure to restore the exposed areas; or recommend stress-awareness and relaxation techniques to reduce clenching.
