Tiny cracks in your teeth can cause pain or discomfort.
Tooth sensitivity: Overreaction to hot and cold stimuli.
Tooth injury: An external force causes a tooth to crack, chip, or fall out.
Gum recession: The gums recede to expose the tooth roots, which can cause pain.

Stress and pain caused by braces or ill-fitting dentures.

Remember, regular dental check-ups can prevent these problems from occurring or detect and treat them early.
