When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Hi there, I received your request this morning. We would be happy to see you to determine what the problem is with your sensitive tooth. If you could call NOW...we opened at 7:00 am and do have an available appointment at 9:00 this morning. Please call us at 704-544-5330.

We are not members of any insurance network. However, your insurance may have the same benefits for you if you see an out-of-network doctor. I would be happy to discuss this with you personally. I am the office managar and I deal with Insurance all the time. Most of all I want to focus on your immediate problem and would hate to see an insurance matter stand in the way of providing you a good service.

Please call. Thanks, Wanda

Why are my teeth sensitive?

Exposed dentin is the likely reason.Dentin is the tissue that makes up the core of each tooth. Dentin is covered by a protective coating of enamel. When this enamel wears away or decays, the dentin

becomes exposed and receptive to sensations,including pain. Dentin exposure and sensitivity also occur when roots are

exposed due to gum recession.When does tooth sensitivity usually occur?You may experience tooth sensitivity, or dentin hyper-sensitivity, after eating cold or hot foods, drinking cold or hot liquids,

or breathing cold air.What causes dentin hypersensitivity?

Causes of dentin hypersensitivity include brushing too hard, which wears away enamel, and gum disease. Other causes

include cracked or chipped teeth and grinding or clenching your teeth. Medical conditions like bulimia also may lead to

exposed dentin. Your diet may play a roleas well. Consumption of acidic foods and drinks, such as citrus fruits and carbonated

beverages, can chemically dissolve enamel over time, resulting in exposed dentin.What can increase dentin hypersensitivity?Some toothpaste brands contain abrasive ingredients that may wear away enamel.Ingredients found in some whitening toothpastes and bleaching treatments may increase tooth sensitivity as well.

If your teeth are highly sensitive for more than three or four days and they react to hot and cold temperatures, it''''s time to see a dentist.
