Sensitive Teeth, Throbbing Pain. Due To Reduced Enamel?

I've just started getting sensitive teeth (front top & bottom), assuming it was related to cavities I made a dentist appointment, however he said I've been looking after my teeth and they were all ok. He said the ache would be caused by reduced enamel & to use sensodyne, however this has made it worse and when I go for a run the throbbing pain after is awful..... What is causing this?

Hello and welcome,

The sensitivity may be due to -bone loss
periodontal pocket,gingival recession and regressive changes like cervical abrasion and erosion.
I would advice you to brush your teeth using soft bristled toothbrush in back-forth and up-down motion.
Avoid vigorous brushing methods.
Get your teeth cleaned.
Bone loss has to be corrected by bone grafting methods.
Exposed dentin as well as root portion of tooth has to be corrected using tooth-coloured filling materials.
Hope this helps.
