A member asked:

Please help! what is the cause for continuous sensitive teeth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recession: If you have healthy gums and do not have dental caries (decay), then most likely your sensitivity is from exposed dental root surfaces resulting from gum recession. Even slight recession can cause great sensitivity.
