Lately I've seen a number of patients that seem to have tooth pain related to their bite being "off". The history of a patient's tooth pain is just as important as the objective testing I do such as taking an x-ray and tapping on the tooth. The story I usually get is one that includes a history of a filling done within the last 6 months. I typically test the tooth with cold air, pressure, and checking the bite. I've found that a tooth that is heavy in occlusion(the bite is high) will lead to a pain in that very tooth or the one opposing it. If you have issues with your bite or merely have questions about your dental health in general or want a cleaning, please give our office a call or follow the link below to our website to schedule an appointment.
