Fort Worth Dentist What Causes Tooth Sensitivity Tooth sensitivity or sensitive teeth is most frequently caused by dentin exposure. The pulp is surrounded by the dentin which is a substance that has pores that are connected directly to the nerve. Dentin is covered by enamel in the unseen parts of the tooth while the part you see is covered by the gum under healthy conditions.In instances where you experience sensitivity, probably is because the enamel has worn out or the gum has receded. You can describe tooth sensitivity as sudden, sharp, shooting pain. Deep inside the nerve ending is where the sensitivity is felt.You may endure the pain constantly or just intermittently.
