Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, with fluoride toothpaste. Consider using toothpaste specially designed for sensitive teeth. Use small, circular movements with a soft- to medium-bristled brush. Try to avoid brushing your teeth from side to side. Change your toothbrush every two to three months, or sooner if it becomes worn. Don't brush straight after eating - some foods and drinks can soften the enamel of your teeth, so leave it for at least an hour before you brush. Have sugary foods, and fizzy and acidic drinks, less often. Try to have them just at mealtimes. If you grind your teeth, talk to your dental team about whether you should have a mouthguard made, to wear at night. If you are thinking about having your teeth bleached, discuss sensitivity with your dental team before starting treatment. Visit your dental team regularly, as often as they recommend.For any more query or treatment visit us today.Dr Ratnika Agarwal , Dental Surgeon/Owner of Smile Up Dental Care & Implant Center ,PUNE

There is nothing as a starting stage of sensitivity. You can use a Tooth paste (any desensitising paste available) which needs to be applied on the tooth surface using finger tips, leave it on for 2 minutes  and rinse it off. It will takw some time for the sensitivity to subside. You can use it twice in a day.
Next Steps
*Avoid taking too much of citric juice which can cause abrasion of your teeth and may lead to sensitivity. * Attrition(grinding of the enamel surface) of the teeth also causes sensitivity, but it may not be the reason in your case as your age is still too young to have attrition ( in normal conditions)
Health Tips
Visit a dentist if symptoms does not subside
