I've never really thought deeply about it before, but I have exceptionally sensitive teeth, to the point that I'm sometimes tormented by a glass of lukewarm water. It makes sense to me though, that sensitive teeth might tie in to a whole host of other sensory issues.

I have sensitive teeth.

I would visit a dentist soon, if I were you.

It's not an emergency---but they might catch something before it gets really bad.

That's good.

One should rule out medical/dental causes for things.

I have sensitive teeth. I've been told to use enamel toothpaste.

I have very sensitive teeth, possibly because I grind them a lot and one of the things I commonly do during meltdowns is bite myself.
