if it's one of the top front teeth does that mean definitely a cavity?

It does in a way sound like sensitivity,especially if you felt it on other teeth as well,but it could be a cavity issue that is making it feel like the other teeth were hurting,my only advice would be to get a dental exam to make sure you dont have anything else going on,its better to treat it when its not an issue than wait for it to get out of hand.

I actually like the idea - I mean of visiting http://www.upkb.com/crestwhitestrips.php for more info about oral health-related issues. Anyway, there may be sensitive teeth that do not immediately develop cavities I guess that's a case to case basis, but still, sensitive teeth need more care for them to avoid the development of cavity

Sometimes but not always - have had sensitivity for about a week and when I went to the dentist no cavities

SENSITIVITY TO COLD IS MOST COMMON WHEN THERE IS ALSO GUM THAT HAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE WHITE PART OF THE TOTH (ENAMEL) EXPOSING THE YELLOWISH (DENTIN) PART OF THE TOOTH WHICH HURTS WHEN YOU EAT/DRINK COLD FOODS. THIS PULLING AWAY MAY NOT BE EASILY VISIBLE. BRUSHING WITH A SOFT-BRISTEDED TOOTHBRUSH IN A GENTLE BACK AND FORTH MANNER WITH AN ANGLE TOWARD THE TEETH IS BEST. THIS MAY ALSO BE A CAVITY BUT BEBAUSE IT APPEARS TO ME ISOLATED TO JUST THE FRONT TEETH,ASYOU STATE, CHANCES ARE THAT IS COLD SENSITIVITY RELATEDTO EXPOSED DENTIN. TRY BRUSHING WITH SENSODYNE. ALSO WHEN YOU BRUSH DO NOT APPLY TOO MUCH PRESSURE AS THIS TRAUMATIZE THE TISSUES(GUMS).

Not necessarily, but you shouldn't shrug off sensitive teeth. Go see your dentist and ask about your dental condition. He may give you a prescription. You may also use Crest White Strips sample for whiter teeth. Here's a good site http://www.upkb.com/crestwhitestrips.php for oral care products.

No not always. Use Sensodyne tooth paste. Please stay away from these crest white strips. They cause a lot of sensitivity and often do not work. Check with your dentist.

NOT ALWAYS, SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE VERY SENSITIVE TEETH.
