Dental Care
In Aida M. Lopez Dental Spa we provide many services to ensure that you will have a healthy smile all the time. Below are some descriptions of the most common problems patients face.
Sensitive teeth
Tooth sensitivity can occur for many reasons. Some teeth can be sensitive to a small amount of pressure by biting down on something hard unexpectedly. Teeth can often feel sensitive after visiting the dentist, because they have been cleaned or otherwise worked on.
Sometimes sensitivity can take weeks to go away. Some other causes of sensitivity are tooth grinding, dental decay, toothbrush abrasion or normal gum recession.Only a qualified professional should examine your teeth and diagnose the cause and best solution for your sensitivity. However to lessen your discomfort you may try desensitizing toothpaste, a fluoride rinse or softer tooth brush.
