A member asked:

One tooth is really sensitive when eating hot or cold foods. i just went to the dentist for a cleaning. what is causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go back to your dent: sensitivity of the tooth can be caused by decay, exposed root,fractured portion of the tooth, even clenching or grinding tell your dentist and have them find the cause and treat it
