Tooth sensitivity can be a signal that something is wrong. It may be caused by periodontal disease or bacteria build-up in a crack in a tooth.

Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of factors including acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding, or cracked teeth. If your teeth are sensitive following a professional teeth whitening such as the ones we do here at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our Ann Arbor patients is brushing too hard. That’s right; it is possible to brush too hard!

If you experience constant or intermittent pain in your teeth or gums, call 734-482-7466 right away to make an appointment. Dr. Gary Sasaki takes tooth pain seriously.
