Your enamel could be slowly wearing away. Go to the dentist. He put a brush-on sealant on my teeth and it really has helped with the sensitivity. And I saw a toothpaste commercial that says it can help restore lost enamel, but i don't remember the name.

The Sensodine tooth paste should help. Though there could be more to it. Some people just have naturally sensitive teeth. It could also be that you are brushing too vigarously. When you brush too hard for too long you wear away the enamel. These are called Buccal notches or grooves. Take a look in the mirror at the portion of tooth closest to the gumline. If you notice a slight indentation or a slope that starts out with less tooth structure and ends with more then this is most likely causing your sensitivity.
This is easily repaired by bonding material and is a painless procedure.

Same problem a few months ago. Now I'm sitting here with a slightly sore lower jaw. My dentist sent me to a periodonist for some deep cleaning.Two visits were for the upper right and lower left and lower right. Those visits they did scaling(serious cleaning-have to numb you) The last visit I just got back from was surgery -They peel back the gum and clean down to the bone.

See a dentist. It could mean your nerves are dieing and your teeth might fall out.

I know that if you eat something sour too much your teeth will be senstive. but you should be okay in a few days.
