The main cause of sensitive teeth is tooth sensitivity. This situation will appear from less to more. When the enamel layer protects your teeth from becoming fragile, or if you have receded gums and exposed dentin, then you will immediately feel uncomfortable.

Thus, the most noticeable cause of tooth sensitivity is the erosion of tooth enamel, exposing dentin and receding gums.

Why is tooth enamel abraded? We have some impact factors as follows:

  • Worn tooth enamel due to high acidic food (food/ drink), or long-lasting acid.
  • Brushing too hard or using a high-abrasive detergent makes the enamel protecting the teeth wear out gradually.
  • In addition, strong brushing and horizontal brushing will reduce the gumline.

Your life will become more difficult, even if a light breeze blowing through your teeth will make your tooth sensitivity.
