Sour candies make your teeth sensitive?!

Question: Everytime I chow down on candies that are sour, my teeth soon get very sensitive.

Any reason behind this? Also, it takes a few days to go away, then im back to normal.. but its very annoying because sour candies are delicious :)

this is called erosion. its because sour candies are very acid and they dissolve your enamel on your teeth, then your dentin is exposed to your mouth and thus making your teeth sensitive. avoid brushing your teeth right after you eat this kind of stuff. always wait 30 mins after you eat to brush your teeth. becaused if you brush you will take even more enamel. just wait for it to resolidify.
