If your gums are receding, it might be a reason why you are sensitive to cold, sweets and other thermal changes. Desensitizing toothpaste such as Sensodyne can reduce the symptoms you are experiencing. However, in some cases, the gums reach a point where they are receding continually, which also puts the bone support around your tooth at risk.
Ask your dentist if you would benefit from gum grafting or gum rejuvenation, or call us at (604)227-1869 if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for your periodontal treatment.
