Soups and cocoa changes to salads and iced teas. Unfortunately, if we aren\u2019t taking good care of our teeth, this can cause our teeth to give us a painful signal when we test its sensitivity. If you\u2019ve been experiencing jarring sharp pain when you eat or drink hot or even cold foods, or even surprisingly during your oral care routine, you may have developed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smilesbygeorge.com\/general-dentistry.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sensitive teeth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But these are the foods of the season, so what gives? Well, there are a variety of answers here. As we age, so do our <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tooth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teeth<\/a>. With age the enamel on your teeth can wear, leaving your tooth roots exposed. This, of course, can cause those jolting pains with tempered food and drink or even cold air. Here are some reasons this may be happening:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over-brushing<\/li>\n<li>Cracked or chipped teeth<\/li>\n<li>Teeth grinding<\/li>\n<li>Gum disease<\/li>\n<li>Tooth whitening<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depending on the cause and severity of your sensitivity, you will benefit from professional treatment. There are a variety of treatments from simple solutions to oral surgery. Sensitive teeth solutions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Desensitizing toothpaste<\/li>\n<li>Desensitizing or bonding<\/li>\n<li>Surgical gum graft<\/li>\n<li>Root canal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See your dentist at the first sign of sensitivity. If caught early enough, it can be easily treated. Many times, sensitive teeth can be treated with a good cleaning and use of a special toothpaste. If you wait to get treatment, you often end up with a bigger problem that is more difficult to treat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit Great Lakes Family Dental today and schedule an appointment to find out what kind of treatment your teeth needs to be healthier and to look better.\u00a0 Call 317-841-1111 or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smilesbygeorge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.smilesbygeorge.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Great Lakes Family Dental proudly serves Indianapolis and all surrounding areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the seasons change from cold to hot, or hot to cold, our diets begin to change drastically.
