Fluoride: Generally, Fluoride gels like gel-cam can help reduce sensitive teeth. It mostly depends on what is causing the sensitivity. It may be a cavity. An exam by a dentist is the only way to diagnose and treat the problem correctly.

See a dentist: Since sensitivity from a tooth can be attributed to a variety of reasons, it is best to have it evaluated by a professional so that you receive the appropriate treatment. It could be anything from root exposure to an early pulpitis
