Tooth sensitivity can be a signal that something is wrong. It may be caused by periodontal disease or bacteria build-up in a crack in a tooth.

Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of factors including acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding, or cracked teeth. If your teeth are sensitive following a professional teeth whitening such as the ones we do here at Harris Dental, the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our Arizona patients is brushing too hard. That’s right; it is possible to brush too hard!

If you experience constant or intermittent pain in your teeth or gums, call 602-955-8600 right away to make an appointment. Drs. Joseph, Brian, Eric & Scott Harris take tooth pain seriously.

At Harris Dental in Phoenix and Queen Creek, we not only treat tooth sensitivity problems, we also perform entire smile makeovers for cosmetic dentistry patients.
