📖What is Sensitive Teeth?

A sharp, brief pain or discomfort in the teeth triggered by hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks, or sometimes by brushing or cold air. It occurs when the protective enamel or gum coverage over the tooth's inner dentin layer is thinned or worn away, exposing sensitive nerve endings.
