Tooth sensitivity may seem like a minor inconvenience, but persistent sensitivity can sometimes signal enamel wear, gum recession, tooth decay, cracks, or nerve irritation. If you ignore tooth sensitivity, the underlying problem may progress and require more complex treatment. Dr Deval Mehta™ explains the warning signs, possible causes, and when sensitive teeth deserve a professional dental evaluation.

After a root canal, your tooth needs time to heal—even if the pain is gone. Avoid chewing on the treated side, skipping medications, or delaying your crown placement, as these can lead to reinfection or fracture. Stay away from hard, sticky foods and don’t ignore follow-up visits. Proper care after a root canal ensures long-term success and protects your smile.

Taking care of your teeth and gums might seem like a simple routine, but have you ever wondered if you’re doing it just right?
