Dental exam: If you haven't had a dental exam and treatment in a while this is the thing to so first. Untreated decay can cause sensitivity. Gum recession, grinding or clenching, infections, are some other things to talk to your dentist about. Toothpaste for sensitive teeth can help somewhat with minor problems.

See your dentist: As dr. Eleczko mentioned all great points. If you have exposed root surfaces which are sensitive, then consider dental ozone application with home daily use of mipaste. Together, I have had much success reducing or eliminating this type of sensitivity.

Visit your dentist: The common causes are the result of worn tooth enamel or exposed tooth roots. Other factors, such as a cavity, a chipped tooth, gum disease or teeth grinding. The best way to find out why a tooth is sensitive is to have dentist examine you.

Sensitive teeth: Have a dentist determine the cause of YOUR sensitive as the causes are many. Your dentist can then go over treatment options to reduce or eliminate the sensitivity. There is no one general cause nor one general remedy.

Fluoride varnish: Your dentist might apply fluoride to the sensitive areas of your teeth to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce pain and teeth sensitivity. See your dentist for examination and treatment.
