Recently my front teeth feel very sensitive. I do take good care of my teeth. Is sensitivity a sign of weak teeth? What should I do for this?

teeth sensitivity is a result of loss of outer most layer(enamel) of teeth..
here are few steps to avoid sensitivity of teeth..
- practice good oral hygiene.
- use a sensitivity toothpaste like sensodyne.
- don't brush too hard.
- use a soft toothbrush.
- control acidic foods intake
- use fluoridated dental products..
- avoid grinding your teeth.you can use mouth guard for it..
if you have sensitivity in only one or two teeth then you can go for a cap for that tooth..which is permanent solution..
