Sensitivity can often be misunderstood, but at Cobb Dental Associates, Dr. Danny Nguyen DMD [https://dentistmariettaga.com/contact-us/] is here to help clarify and address these issues. Let’s set the record straight on some common misconceptions about teeth sensitivity.
MYTH: TEETH SHOULD HURT WHEN BITING INTO HOT OR COLD FOODS
Experiencing pain when consuming hot or cold foods is not normal. Persistent sensitivity might indicate underlying issues such as cavities, worn dental fillings, eroded tooth enamel, gum disease, or exposed tooth roots. Dr. Danny Nguyen DMD [https://dentistmariettaga.com/contact-us/] at Cobb Dental Associates [https://dentistmariettaga.com/contact-us/]can diagnose the cause of your sensitivity and provide effective treatment options.
MYTH: DESENSITIZING TOOTHPASTES AREN’T EFFECTIVE
Desensitizing toothpastes, which often contain ingredients like potassium nitrate or strontium chloride, are designed to block pain signals from reaching the nerves inside your teeth. It might take a few uses to notice improvement, but these toothpastes can be quite effective. For more severe cases, prescription-strength toothpastes might be necessary. Consult with Dr. Danny Nguyen DMD [https://dentistmariettaga.com/contact-us/]for recommendations tailored to your needs.
