Teeth become sensitive when the protective outer layer called enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the inner sensitive layer, dentin. Common causes include brushing too hard, acidic foods, teeth grinding, gum disease, or cavities. CommonCauses of Sensitivity: Enamel Erosion: Frequent consumption of acidic food and drinks (citrus, soda) or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear down enamel. Gum Recession: Gums pulling away from the teeth, due to age or periodontal disease, exposes the root surface, which is not protected by enamel. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Clenching or grinding at night wears down enamel. Dental Issues: Cracked teeth, chipped teeth, broken fillings, or tooth decay (cavities) create pathways for sensitivity. Dental Treatments: Transient sensitivity is common after cleanings, whitening procedures, or fillings. How to Reduce Sensitivity: Switch Products: Use toothpaste specially formulated for sensitive teeth (desensitizing toothpaste). Gentle Hygiene: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid excessive scrubbing. Dietary Changes: Limit acidic foods and sugary drinks. Dental Checkup: See a dentist to treat underlying issues like grinding or cavities. Early treatment can help avoid complications and higher costs.
