If you’ve been experiencing tooth sensitivity to hot and cold foods or drinks, it’s not something to ignore. Sensitive teeth can be a sign of an underlying dental issue that treatment. Here are some common reasons your teeth may be sensitive:
Increased Wear & Tear: The hard outer layer of your teeth is called enamel. Over time, it can wear down from a variety of habits, such as aggressive brushing, too many acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding or clenching habits, and more.
Gum Recession: Your gums keep your teeth in place and ensure the health of your whole mouth. Receding gums cause root surfaces to become exposed, leaving them vulnerable to sensitivity from temperature extremes or acids.
Cracked Teeth: Cracks and chips in your teeth can also cause sensitivity by creating pathways for triggers to reach the inner nerve. Even a small cavity or crack needs prompt treatment to prevent further damage and pain.
Regardless of the cause, sensitive teeth should not be ignored as the problem will likely worsen without treatment. We wanted to share a video that shows you what is happening when you are experiencing sensitive teeth:

Wonderful energy. The person I spoke to on the phone was kind, patient, and answered all my questions about the process. All staff members, the front desk, dental assistants and Dr. Montoya made sure I felt seen and heard and gave me their full time and attention throughout the whole appointment. This made my experience less stressful as I have dental anxiety. I’m very happy with his recommendations and treatment options.
I can’t say enough good things about Boulder Dental Designs, but seriously.
Every single person you interact with here are quality people that care about you having a great outcome. From the front desk, to hygienists to Invisalign techs to Dr Montoya, they are all truly a pleasure to be around and trust them with your care.
This is coming from an incredibly high anxiety patient, after two jaw surgeries in the past and a high aversion to any dentist procedures. Dr Montoya’s team has been incredibly kind, patient and accommodating with me to where for the first time in almost a decade I don’t dread going to the dentist. I now love visiting them!
I also didn’t feel like it was an uphill battle to advocate for myself or what I needed to feel comfortable as I’ve felt I’ve had to do everywhere else. I just had to explain my circumstances once, and they did everything to make me comfortable and take any treatment slowly.
I really, really appreciate this team and the family Dr Montoya has built over the years. I can tell his team cares about the details, the quality of the work and each patient.
Dr. Montoya is an excellent dentist with exceptional attention to detail. His design skills are outstanding and he uses all of the latest technology to do high quality restorative work. He is a kind person with an ability to explain things in a clear, concise way. His office staff, hygienists and assistants are all friendly and talented. Overall an incredible dental practice.
I’ve been a patient for a year and half now and every visit is a pleasant one. The staff is very welcoming and professional. My cleanings, exams, and procedures are thorough and comfortable. I feel well taken care of when I’m there, and never pressured into anything that is not necessary (unlike other practices I’ve been to in the past). Very glad I found this practice and would recommend it others in a heart beat.
I was eating a granola bar and a crown came off of one of my back molars. Thank God I was only about 10 minutes away from their office.
I arrived at the office at about 12:55 and they were just getting ready to go to lunch. Since I wasn’t in any pain, they told me to come back at 2pm. So I came back at 2 and they took care of me right away!!! Everyone in the office was very friendly, courteous and professional. And Doctor Montoya did an awesome job!!! He’s the first dentist I’ve ever had who put my crown back in perfectly the first time!!!
I’ve had other dentists but crowns back in. However they always took one or something even 2 times to get it adjusted perfectly. So in conclusion Thank you Doctor Montoya along with your team, for making me feel like family the moment I entered your office!
Had a wonderful exam and 5 star treatment from Kayla, the hygienist. Crystal and Megan, at the front desk were pleasant and welcoming. Dr. Montoya and his staff are always dependable and consistent in their skill and professionalism.
I was very pleased with my experience at Boulder Dental Designs. My appointment was right on time, I received a thorough exam and analysis of the current state of my teeth, my teeth cleaning was performed by a confident and competent hygienist, and I finished with a summary oral exam and discussion with the dentist. A great experience all around.
