If your teeth have suddenly become sensitive to cold drinks, ice cream, or cold air, you're not alone. Sudden tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, gum recession, tooth decay, cracked teeth, worn fillings, or even teeth grinding. While some causes are minor, others may require prompt dental treatment. Identifying the cause early can help relieve discomfort and prevent more serious dental problems.
A dark line around a filling or crown can have several causes. In some cases, it may simply be staining or the appearance of metal beneath a restoration. However, it can also indicate wear, a gap between the restoration and tooth, or even new decay developing around the edges. A dental examination can determine whether the dark line is purely cosmetic or a sign that treatment is needed. Learn more in Dr. Anna’s latest blog.
