Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Tooth sensitivity?: Do you mean that your teeth are sensitive when you chew? This can mean you have cavities or fillings that have broken down, or possibly many other things a dentist can help you with. Please allow a dentist to examine you, and you can get a much better answer.
