Tooth sensitivity can be caused by many different things, but as we age, the most common cause is exposed tooth roots. As we age, our gums tend to recede, or pull away from, the tooth. The gums protect our teeth, so when they pull away, it leaves our teeth unprotected from the elements.
Having tooth sensitivity is painful. Many times patients experience this when they have gum recession. Dr. Christopher Walker of the Alamo Heights Implant Center discusses the causes and the solution to fixing your tooth sensitivity issues with tissue grafting, or gum grafting.
Our name may be "Alamo Heights Implant Center" but we provide so much more than just dental implants. Periodontists are specialists of the gums. Dr. Christopher Walker provides a multitude of periodontal services.
