Specializes in Dentistry

Fracture ?: Loose filling? Decay? Non-vital nerve? Periodontal disease? Grinding? Trauma? Now that we've guessed on what could have caused it, it's time to call a local dentist for an appointment. They will let you know the exact reason for your sensitivity and what needs to be done to solve the problem.
