Sensitive toothpaste can help reduce discomfort from cold, hot, sweet, or acidic foods, especially if the sensitivity is mild. However, tooth sensitivity can also be a sign of a cavity, cracked tooth, worn enamel, gum recession, or another dental problem. If your sensitivity is severe, lasts more than a few days, is getting worse, or is accompanied by pain when biting, it's best to schedule a dental exam. Your dentist here at Harte Dental can identify the cause and recommend the most effective treatment.
