Sensitivity has different possible causes. Describe when it happens and which teeth are affected before starting a cosmetic procedure.
What to discuss at your appointment
Keep a short symptom diary: trigger, location, duration, and any recent dental work. Ask whether further evaluation is needed before elective treatment. Request a comfort plan and a contact number for unexpected symptoms. Do not assume every new pain is an ordinary cosmetic-treatment effect.
Three questions to take with you
- What might be causing my symptoms?
- Should cosmetic treatment wait?
- When should I contact the office?
Plan your next step
Write down the answers, the proposed appointments, and any information the office needs from you. If the explanation is unclear, ask for a written summary before deciding. Your own goals and the findings of an examination should guide the final choice.
