What causes tooth sensitivity and pain while brushing?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand that you suffer from susceptible teeth. You say that there are no signs of decay. I ask you, can severe sensitivity be a sign? However, to be accurate in commenting, I will share my thoughts and the things we need to do to diagnose this. If you have large fillings (deep fillings), it can be a cause, as it is close to the nerves of the tooth.

I have evidence of small wisdom tooth in X-ray. Is it fine?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Wisdom teeth can erupt a little later than usual. It depends on many factors. In some people, it takes up to the age of 24; these teeth also can never erupt and stay impacted or half-impacted inside the jawbones. So, for now, if you do not have any complaint or problem, it is normal, but I recommend you to check up and get an X-ray every year as usual for follow-up and see the condition of your wisdom teeth.

How to treat an asymptomatic calcified chipped tooth?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I checked the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The broken part seems to be a small part in the enamel layer, you do not have any pain or symptoms, so I believe this tooth is fine and it can be restored with composite filling to prevent any cavity forming over there. Also, we can use the help of periapical X-ray for that tooth just to make sure everything is alright. You can make an appointment with your dentist to make a filling for that tooth.
