Usually it's a cavitity or thin enamel. A dentist needs to check this out. If your enamel is thin, sometimes they can coat your teeth with white cavitity filler and it stops the feeling. There are products on the market for sensitive teeth...Sensodyne toothpaste, crest for sensitive teeth and now orajel makes a monthly desensitizer kit. I would still check with a dentist first. You wouldn't want to ignore a problem and lose your teeth. YOu only get one set and you need them for life!!! I have soft tooth enamel and it is rubbed off my front teeth from brushing too hard. My dentist mixed a matching white cavitity filler and "painted" it on. It's been over a year and it hasn't chipped off (although it can). In addition, I use sensodyne toothpaste and it helps alot. You can also carry a bottle of humphrey's (avilable at target pharmacy, ove the counter). It's an herbal teething remedey for children that elaves no bitter after taste or numbness in your mouth. It helps when you drink something cold or eat a sweet!

Sensodyne toothpaste is great for people with sensitive teeth. My dentist also recommended I get my teeth cleaned more often. I thought he was just trying to make an extra buck but I tried it and it works. Apparently the cleaning helps stimulate new gum growth which in turn covers the exposed nerve endings which cause the pain.
If you can't go to the dentist more often, at least make sure to brush twice a day with Sensodyne and floss once a day, preferably before you brush your teeth before you go to bed. That way the particles that are dislodged will be brushed away.

Avoid sour/acidic candy and foods. i.e sour candies, lemony stuff, margeritas etc.
Don't brush too aggressively along the gum line. It causes grooves and makes those areas sensitive.
Don't use tarter control toothpastes and whiteners for awhile.
Don't leave carbs in your mouth for long periods. They turn to sugar and cause superficial decay along the gums where they tend to accumulate. Then deep decay. I am assuming that you aren't to this point yet.
Night clenching and grinding can cause sensitivity. Wear a night guard. A cheap sport guard will do.
Don't sip on sugary drinks like Coke or Pepsi or sweet coffee drinks. They promote superficial decay. Again I presume you have seen your dentist and don't have deep decay.
You may have cracks. Usually cause intense cold sensitivity and stabbing pain when chewing.
You may have early hitting teeth. These can become very cold sensitive.

I have/had the same thing. My dentist told me that it was because I was using whitening tooth paste. She said that something in the whitening toothpaste makes your teeth more sensitive.

Make a trip to your dentist...there are over the counter products for this type of aliment however if this does not work for you the dentist may write a prescription for something stronger.
