Tooth sensitivity to cold can be caused due to multiple factors, such as worn enamel, exposed tooth roots, cavities, or gum recession. Sometimes, a cracked tooth or a recent dental procedure may also lead to temporary sensitivity. If you're experiencing discomfort, it's best to schedule an exam so we can decide the exact cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
A dental exam is essential before a cleaning because it allows the dentist to check for any underlying issues including cavities, gum disease, or any other oral health problem that might need attention. The exam helps ensure that the cleaning is thorough and tailored to your specific dental needs, ensuring optimal oral health.
Teeth decay is caused by the buildup of plaque, which is described as a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. When you eat sugary or acidic foods and drinks, the bacteria in plaque generate acids that can erode tooth enamel, leading to cavities. Poor oral hygiene, absence of regular brushing and flossing, and a diet high in sugar all contribute to tooth decay.
