Hi! Read your query.
Tooth sensitivity can b due to either dental cavities, root exposure due to gum disease or loss of tooth enamel n exposed dentin. In case of carious exposure get them filled up, gum disease can be treated with scaling n loss of enamel by using a desensitizing tooth paste. Your dentist after proper examination will be able to clear your problems. Till then avoid too hot or too cold items and ensure good oral hygiene. U can do warm saline gargle till your appointment. Hope this helps you.

Sensitivity in the teeth can be due to various etiological factors which can include
*Using a hard tooth brush and application of more pressure during brushing will lead to loss of enamel and hence the teeth become sensitive.
*Gingivitis or gum disease.
*Tooth grinding.
* Cracked tooth or filling can also cause sensitivity.
If I had a patient with such complaint I would have ruled out the cause and then advice treatment. Visit your dentist and have it reviewed.
Desensitizing tooth paste can be of aid .Use proper method of brushing and do not apply more pressure while brushing.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
