Toothaches and Sensitive Teeth Care in White Rock

Find Relief from Tooth Pain and Dental Discomfort

Understanding Tooth Pain and Sensitivity

Toothaches and sensitive teeth may be caused by cavities, worn enamel, gum recession, cracked teeth, exposed roots, or infection. Some patients feel constant discomfort, while others notice hot and cold tooth sensitivity or pain only when eating or drinking something sweet or acidic.


Even mild sensitivity should be monitored, especially if it becomes more frequent or affects daily comfort. A Dental Examination, which may include Digital Dental X-Rays, can help identify the cause and determine whether preventive care, restorative treatment, or Emergency Dentistry is needed. Common Causes:
