Do you have sensitive teeth? Some of the main causes of sensitive tooth are: allergies, sinus pressure, clenching, grinding, mouth breathing, tooth decay, and gum disease. Make an appointment to see your dentist and dental hygienist. They are your first line of defense against gum disease, tooth decay, tooth pain and oral cancer. They will investigate and find the cause of your discomfort or pain. Prevent a crisis and go in right away and your dentist may find tiny spots of tooth decay and tiny cracks before your tooth starts aching.
