Know the Tooth

You take a sip of your morning iced coffee and immediately regret it. A sharp, uncomfortable sensation runs through your tooth. You wait a few seconds, hoping it disappears, but the question remains: “Why does something as simple as drinking cold water suddenly hurt my teeth?”

Tooth sensitivity can make everyday experiences such as drinking cold water, enjoying hot coffee, or eating sweet foods uncomfortable. While sensitivity can have different causes, your daily oral care habits play an important role in protecting your teeth.
