Tooth Sensitivity explained
Teeth that twinge with hot, cold, or sweet usually have an irritated nerve. Brief sensitivity that fades in seconds often comes from exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Pain that lingers for more than 10 to 15 seconds after the trigger is removed suggests the nerve itself is inflamed.
That lingering pattern is what endodontists test for. Pulp vitality testing plus 3D imaging at our Orange City office shows whether the nerve can recover on its own or needs root canal therapy to settle the pain for good.
When to call
Sensitivity that lingers, wakes you at night, or centers on one specific tooth deserves an evaluation soon; it rarely improves on its own once the nerve is inflamed.

Common questions
Why does my tooth hurt with cold but not hot?
Cold sensitivity that fades quickly often means exposed root surfaces or a reversible irritation. Pain with heat, or cold pain that lingers, points to deeper nerve inflammation and needs an evaluation.
When is tooth sensitivity serious?
When it lingers more than 10 to 15 seconds, returns without a trigger, or centers on one tooth. Those patterns suggest the nerve is inflamed rather than the surface.
Does sensitivity mean I need root canal therapy?
Not always. Brief sensitivity often has simpler causes. Pulp vitality testing at our Orange City office shows whether the nerve can recover on its own.
