What could be causing my teeth to be increasingly sensitive to heat and cold?

Tooth sensitivity: Tooth sensitivity can be caused by many things: over zealously brushing (be sure to use a soft toothbrush!), tooth whitening products, or cavities. Use a desensitizing toothbrush like sensodyne to put the sensitivity at bay.
