The Causes of Sensitive Teeth... The Smile with Style Team
The primary causes of sensitive teeth involve receding gums and damage to the protective layer of tooth enamel. Some of the common reasons this happens include:
Bad brushing
Excessive and overly vigorous brushing can wear away enamel exposing the underlying dentine. Dentine may also be exposed as a result of gum recession or gum disease.
Stress
Grinding your teeth will wear away enamel. Unfortunately some people grind their teeth unconsciously while asleep.
Acidic Diet
Acidic food and drink can cause erosion of tooth enamel, and this is often exacerbated by over-enthusiastic toothbrushing. This can expose the underlying dentine which is sensitive to hot and cold.
