Sensitive hurting teeth, what can I do?

I've had problems with sensitive teeth, especially within the last week. It's not so much cold drinks or hot drinks etc. but it's the wind, or sometimes if I laugh, the burst of air. Sometimes when I talk on my cell, the vibrations from the other person's voice cause some irritation. It doesn't hurt alot, there's just some mild irritation. Does anyone know what I can do about it or what the condition is?

Sensitive hurting teeth, what can I do?
You most likely have recession of the gums. This results when the gum line wears away (could happen when you are aggressive in brushing). The gum that covers the root of the tooth will be exposed and the root isn't covered by enamel (because the gum is suppose to cover it) so when the gum recession happens it is like going outside without a coat on. Most likely cold sensitivity will happen, but in your case, you are getting it with air.


The best thing to do is to use a sensitive toothpaste like Sensodyne to help de-sensitize the tooth. If persists, have your dentist evaluate your gum, if the recession is too much and the support of the tooth is an issue, you could have a procedure that will graft the gum tissue back in this area.


Try the Sensodyne paste and use a extra soft brush or even better use an electric toothbrush with light pressure!


Hope this helps!
