  1. What Causes Sensitive Teeth and Gums? Sensitive teeth can become increasingly more painful, eventually preventing you from living a full and active life. In some cases, tooth sensitivity is caused by something that isn’t necessarily problematic or requires professional dental care. Causes of sensitive teeth and gums: As your gums recede due to age or poor oral hygiene, the roots of the teeth are exposed and are more sensitive than the crowns of the teeth. Keep in mind that your gums are incredibly sensitive and applying too much pressure while brushing can cause receding gums and tooth sensitivity. Once the decay hits this sensitive dentin, you may experience on-and- off sensitivity that will often alert you that there is a problem. Erosion of Tooth Enamel Due to Acidic Food and Drink When a tooth is chipped or broken, the dentin is exposed and is more sensitive to hot and cold food items as well as everyday wear and tear.
