You might be experiencing tooth sensitivity or pain, making it uncomfortable to touch your tooth. Several reasons, as suggested by the reference, could explain this:
Possible Reasons for Tooth Sensitivity
- Brushing habits: Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear down enamel and expose sensitive areas of your tooth.
- Tooth-whitening products: These products can sometimes cause temporary sensitivity.
- Underlying Dental Issues: The reference also suggests that pressure sensitivity can arise due to:
- A broken tooth
- Tooth decay
- A tooth abscess
- Tooth-grinding
- Eating acidic foods
What To Do
If the discomfort persists, consult with your dentist to identify the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment. This is especially important if you suspect an abscess or other serious dental issue.
