Toothaches and Sensitive Teeth Treatment in Aurora
Finding the Cause of Tooth Pain and Sensitivity
Understanding Toothaches and Sensitive Teeth
Toothaches and sensitivity can make everyday activities like eating, drinking, or brushing uncomfortable. At Aurora North Dental, we take time to identify what is causing your discomfort and provide care that supports long-term relief. Sensitivity may be temporary, but persistent pain can signal an underlying issue that needs attention.
Common causes of toothaches and sensitive teeth include:
- Cavities and dental decay weaken the enamel
- Early signs of gum disease or gum recession
- Cracks or damage from cracked and chipped teeth
- Wear from clenching, grinding, or acidic foods
- Infection that may require root canal therapy
If symptoms continue, an exam and digital imaging can help us determine the right next step.
Brush gently with fluoride toothpaste
Avoid very hot, cold, or acidic triggers
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
Keep up with regular checkups so we can catch changes early
