Yes, teeth have nerve endings that are located in the pulp of the tooth. When the protective enamel layer is worn down or damaged, these nerve endings can be exposed to external stimuli such as hot or cold temperatures, causing tooth sensitivity.

What causes cold sensitivity?

Often, a person cracks a tooth. Cold and sugar are two items that can cause some surprising pain, as the crack leads down to the root (nerve endings) of the tooth. Normal teeth can be sensitive to cold, as well. My teeth, for instance, are all very healthy, yet if I go for a walk on a cold, cold day and breath through my mouth, my teeth will invariably ache later, worse, and worse, until I have to take an Ibuprofin.

Can you whiten children teeth?

It is not recommended to whiten children's teeth with whitening strips or other commercially available whitening agents. The reason is that children's teeth have relatively large pulp chambers, where the nerve of the tooth resides. Whitening can cause severe tooth sensitivity in people with large pulp chambers. Whitening is not recommended before the person is in their early twenty's or at least late teens. By then the pulp chambers have shrunk and sensitivity becomes less likely. Even then, sensitivity can be an issue. Fortunately, if sensitivity becomes an issue it usually resolves itself by stopping the whitening process.

Rabbit teeth never stop growing, sort of like our fingernails. If a rabbit doesn't chew enough their teeth will not grind down and the teeth will grow longer than needed...sometimes very long ei. three inches. Rabbit's teeth have no nerve endings so if carefully done one could snip the teeth with clippers (you should probably get a vet to do this)
