In short, yes it is, and it can be a sign of several different issues developing, so it\u2019s best that you don\u2019t jump to conclusions and heighten your anxiety, because not all of them are serious. Read on for a guide to pinpointing your discomfort and what you should do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is the Dental Sensitivity Coming From?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinpointing exactly <em>where<\/em> the sensitivity is coming from can be hard, but it\u2019s an important step to take to determine what your actions need to be to prevent additional damage and preserve your implants. Once you determine this, your dentist can quickly and effectively step in to take care of the discomfort and preserve the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sensitivity Surrounding Teeth or Gums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your sensitivity is located near the gum or soft tissues in the mouth, it could be caused by another, existing tooth. In this case, it could be due to an untreated cavity, tooth infection, or enamel erosion. Either way, visit the dentist\u2019s office to get it taken care of so the issue doesn\u2019t become even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sensitivity at the Implant Site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dental sensitivity is at your implant site, it could be due to a developing infection or another problem. In any case, try not to panic and visit your dentist as soon as possible so they can determine the underlying cause of your discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Do if Your Dental Implant Feels Sensitive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step you should always take if you experience implant sensitivity is to contact your dentist\u2019s office for an examination. They\u2019ll conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums and take any X-rays if necessary to determine the underlying cause of your sensitivity. Based on their findings, they\u2019ll be able to develop a treatment plan to hopefully preserve your new dental implants and improve your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reacting quickly can be the difference between preserving your newly restored smile and needing to replace it, so don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to your dentist as soon as possible. That way, you\u2019ll be able to continue enjoying your grin for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jacob Milner is passionate about helping people in his community improve their oral and overall health and getting to better understand them, so he can provide them with custom-tailored and highly effective treatments.
