Tooth sensitivity can occur when tooth enamel has been worn down, and the dentin or the even the nerves of teeth are exposed. When these surfaces are exposed, eating or drinking something with an extremely low or high temperature may cause you to feel a sudden, sharp flash of pain.

Can your teeth be too sharp?

Do you feel that your teeth look too sharp? If this is something you worry about, it's probably your cuspid teeth that are causing concern. Your cuspid teeth can also be known as canine teeth, and sometimes it might feel like there is something just a little bit too animal-like about these pointy teeth.

Why are my teeth getting clearer?

When enamel wears away, or if it never forms properly, the teeth can take on a dull, translucent, or waxy appearance. This means that if your teeth are starting to look transparent, your enamel around the edges of your teeth where dentin does not extend is worn.
