Upper tooth very sensitive

[aindriu80]

Hi,

I am starting to notice that my upper teeth are very sensitive. If I apply my finger nail to an upper tooth along the gum line I cannot apply much pressure without the feeling that I am touching a raw nerve. My tooth feels very sensitive after the electric toothbrush or coffee.

Is there anything I can get done at the dentist to remove the sensitive feeling ? Its very close to the gum line and is not like a filling?

i think it was the metal brace I had all those years ago. it used to tighten against my upper teeth a lot and I think it broke the sides of one of them. when i touch it now its a raw nerve.

This same thing happens to me. I have also been told it may be exposed nerves.
