Woke up this morning and brushed my teeth and experience TERRIBLE nerve pain in one of my lower teeth. Happens every time I drink or eat something. Just went to the dentist, no decay, no missing filling, he sealed it but it started again. HELP!
PS: It doesn't hurt just sitting here, only when i eat drink, or air is blown on it

Don't know if this a sign of a sensitive tooth, but it feels like someone is stabbing at my nerve with a needle. Goes away in about 5 seconds. Dentist couldn't figure it out!

It's only one lower tooth, right?
This is a hot tooth. I had one on my back molar, my first dentist didn't know what it was. Personally, my hot tooth was due to the fact that no enamel had formed on that tooth during conception (yeah, get that one. lol). Because of the lack of enamel, the tooth was sensitive to sweet, hot, cold, and especially brushing my teeth.
Tell your dentist to check for a hot tooth, or one with enamel defects. If it's a TRUE hot tooth, you will need a lot of injections to numb it up enough to drill out anything that's defective and to get it covered and filled with composite to prevent rotting. A Temporary seal won't help.
Hope that helped!

It does sound as if its a senitivity problem, they do make a tooth paste for it but I would guess calling your dentist back and telling him of this may be in order, He will have other better suggestions.

Use a toothpaste for touchy enamel. Another factor that may aid is to rub your teeth or enamel with the toothpaste. It takes the sensitivity away. I do not believe there may be something mistaken together with your teeth it's only notable touchy.

Sounds like you have sensitive teeth, bummer for you. There are toothpastes you can buy to help, but they aren't that great, better than nothing though.

Perhaps your brushing exposed the root a little more.
