Can tooth sensitivity go away on its own?
I am a 30-year-old male and I have tooth sensitivity. Can tooth sensitivity go away on its own?

Prevident toothpaste is good.
Yes and no. Consult your dentist.
Rarely. There is usually a reason for sensitivity and diagnosis and treatment is the key for success.
Yes, depending on the cause. However, persistent sensitivity or increasing sensitivity should be evaluated. Do not wait more than about 2 weeks.
That depends on the cause of the sensitivity. If decay or an abscess is causing discomfort, it will NOT get better on its own. If your gum has shrunk away and exposed part of the root of a tooth, as the root is exposed to fluids in your mouth, it well might become less sensitive. (Until further recession occurs.) See your dentist to rule out decay or dental infection.
It is possible at times. Depends on the cause and if it’s a single tooth or all the teeth and what type of stimulus causes the sensitivity.

The short answer is yes. Once the smear layer is formed over the root surfaces, the sensitivity will diminish or go away.
