Tooth sensitivity can be caused by many different things. Treatment options for tooth sensitivity can range from fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel, sealants to protect teeth from decay that may cause sensitivity, and dental bonding to cover exposed or worn-down tooth surfaces. Your dentist may also recommend you use products designed for sensitive teeth, such as desensitizing toothpaste and mouthwash or soft-bristle toothbrushes. In some cases, your dentist may recommend a mouth guard or night guard for teeth grinding, which can wear down teeth and cause sensitivity.
