A member asked:
Every few days, i notice one of my teeth is sensitive to touch on the tip. one day it might be a canine on the lower jaw, and a week later it might be an incisor on the upper jaw. i have no clue what's causing it, and why it's so sporadic.

Sensitive teeth: You may be grinding your teeth or if your teeth are malpositioned you may be hitting certain teeth prematurely. Your dentist can examine you, determine potential causes, and suggest appropriate treatment.
