What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be cause by a number of factors.

• If you brush your teeth with a hard bristled brush or too vigorously, you can damage the enamel on your teeth.
• Acidic foods can make tooth sensitivity worse.
• Damage to teeth or fillings can cause tooth sensitivity, as can a tooth abscess or infection.
• Many toothpastes are hard on the teeth. There are a variety of chemicals in the majority of toothpastes from whiteners to fluoride to artificial sweeteners to sodium laureth sulfate. Each of these have been linked to oral health issues.
