Is Tooth Sensitivity Ever Equated With A Lack Of Calcium Or An Over-acidity In The Saliva?
I am having a pain in all the front teeth, upper and lower...but do not believe it is from grinding or clenching my teeth at night. I wear a guard and this is a different kind of pain. The pain is low-grade, like a sensitivity deep down in the teeth...many teeth, not just one or two (and on both sides of mouth, mostly in front teeth.). Is tooth sensitivity ever equated with a lack of calcium or an over-acidity in the saliva? Is there an essential nutrient or a vitamin/mineral that people get deficient in that might cause a sensitivity or pain to start in their teeth?

thanks for writing in
Tooth sensitivity in all teeth can be due to loss of enamel.
It can be due to grinding of teeth or improper oral habit.It can also be due vigrous tooth brushing or acidic food may also lead to erosion.
You need to use desensitizing paste & still if problem persists go for veneering.
Visit your dentist for further query
