Im 24 and all my teeth are very sensitive is it possible to crown all my teeth?

Q. I have very very sensitive teeth (all of my teeth are sensitive) my dentist has been perscribing me for a little over a year mouthwash that she uses in her office and floride toothpaste, i also use sensodine,ACT mouthwash and i’ve been using a soft round electric brush but my teeth are still horribly sensitive to breathing, metal, cold , hot, and certain textures. Iam 24yrs old and i want all my teeth pulled all of them and get dentures but my dentist said no because my teeth are good teeth and i heard about crowning is it possible that crowning all my teeth would help or will i be in pain for life?

A. I would avoid removing the teeth, it will add up to years of misery in the future. However if the teeth are that sensitive then maybe crowns or veneers might help. Even covering the sensitive teeth with a resin filling, usually around the necks of the teeth near the gums.
