Should I see a dentist for tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity doesn’t usually require emergency attention from a dentist. However, whenever there’s something bothering you about your smile, you should always seek professional help!

If it’s been over 6 months since your last dental appointment, schedule a cleaning and exam, and be sure to tell us about what you’re experiencing. Otherwise, feel free to call our office and we can help you understand the best next steps for your situation.

If your sensitivity turns to pain, call us immediately. We’ll see you ASAP and take a look at what’s going on.
