I always experience pain and discomfort in my teeth each time I take sweets, cold or hot drinks and ice cream. The pain even comes on when I am brushing my teeth. I was informed that I have sensitive teeth. Kindly let me know what to do about this.

Tooth sensitivity is a common problem that affects millions of people. The good news is that sensitive teeth can be treated. Sensitive teeth can also be a sign of a cracked tooth or a ​tooth abscess, which needs to be treated by your dentist to prevent losing a tooth or getting an infection in your jaw bone. If you suddenly develop tooth sensitivity, make an appointment with your dentist to see if there is a source that needs to be treated.
