What Causes Sensitivity?
Exposed dentin can lead to sensitive teeth pain. Dentin is the underlying tooth surface that contains openings that lead to the nerve and act as the pathway to sensitivity pain.
Over time, dentin can become exposed due to:
Enamel erosion
Gum recession
Tooth grinding
Improper brushing
Tips for Sensitivity Relief:
Brush with a specifically-formulated Nh Pro enamel care sensitive toothpaste twice daily.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush
Brush gently to help prevent enamel wear and gum recession
Consult a dental professional for other treatment options.
