hello there, canine tooth is the corner stone of your face and gives you beauty so please do not neglect and consult your dentist soon. sensitive gums suggests that your gums are inflammed, pain on tapping the tooth shows that there is some kind of root infection or pulpitis (inflammation of pulpal nerves). X ray examination of the affected area is needed followed by treatment. i hope that helps you.

hello and welcome to hcm,
the sensitivity on canine tooth can be due to many reasons-
cervical abrasion
gum infection like gingivitis or periodontitis
deep dental caries.
an x-ray of the tooth will help to rule out the cause.
visit your dentist for further treatment.
use soft-bristled toothbrush and thermokind toothpaste to clean your teeth.

Hi,
Thank you for the query .
over brushing leading to cervical abrasion of the teeth may be the cause for the senistivity .. if the abraded area is deeper definitly you will experience pain on tapping the teeth .. get a x- ray done to rule out the area abraded and then go for the resotartion or rootcanal treatment depending on the area involved..

Based on the symptoms and location the most probable reason could be an abrasion cavity. Abrasion cavities are caused due to improper brushing technique.
I suggest you to change your toothbrush immediately and buy a soft bristles toothbrush of a reputed company. You can use a desensitiser toothpaste for timebeing till you get in touch with your dentist.
Please do not forget to ask your dentist the correct brushing technique as suitable for your teeth.
