Tooth pain and sensitivity
Does a tooth hurt when you eat, chew, or drink something cold or hot? We evaluate what is causing it and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Tooth pain is rarely random: it usually signals decay, a receding gum, a leaking filling, a fracture, or an affected nerve. Each cause has a different treatment, so the first job is finding out which one is yours.
Do not sit on the pain hoping it passes. The sooner we see it, the better the odds of solving it with something simple.
