Tooth sensitivity can occur due to many reason like brushing too hard on tooth, any cavity, bone loss in respected area, poor oral hygiene. Consult doctor online or offline. Can apply any desensitizing toothpaste like Vantej.

This is happing due to wrong brushing technique.The enamel near the gum margin is thin so wear out if our brushing is not perfect. At the early stage of enamel wear out it becomes very sensitive.Use Vantej toothpaste and proflo plus mouth wash twice daily,you will grt relief.
