Unexplained tooth sensitivity
This type of pain may be caused by a cracked tooth, microcracks in the enamel, a damaged or lost filling, or inflammation inside the tooth. Even if the tooth looks intact and you don’t see any visible chips or cracks, the problem may be deeper and not detectable without a professional exam and diagnostic imaging.
In these situations, taking painkillers can be unsafe: medications only mask the pain, leading patients to postpone their visit while the underlying issue continues to progress. That’s why our dental clinic in Fort Lauderdale provides emergency dental care to address the problem at its root as soon as possible.
When is unexplained tooth sensitivity a reason for an urgent visit?
-sharp, throbbing pain appears suddenly;
-pain interferes with chewing or speaking;
-pain noticeably worsens within 1–2 days.
Why it’s important not to delay an exam:
-you reduce the risk of complications and the spread of infection;
-you increase the chance of saving the tooth and restoring its function;
-you get relief from pain and discomfort as quickly as possible.
