One in five people worldwide suffers from tooth sensitivity

🔊 One in five people worldwide suffers from increased tooth sensitivity. ☝️ Hypersensitivity is the heightened sensitivity of the hard tissues of the teeth, which can lead to problems such as cavities, periodontitis, and enamel damage.

💡 In our regular #tipoftheday segment, we’ll discuss the common causes of increased tooth sensitivity and share tips to prevent this problem.

⁉️ So, what usually leads to the disruption of tooth sensitivity?

⛔️ The most common causes of enamel damage are:

❎ Low consumption of essential substances and minerals in your diet;

❎ Excessive consumption of carbonated beverages, sweets, acidic foods, which lead to chemical erosion of the protective enamel layer;

❎ Use of a toothbrush with hard bristles and toothpaste with abrasive elements that mechanically damage the enamel;

❎ Delaying visits to the dentist when complaints arise;

❎ Inflammatory processes in the dental nerve or pulp.

6️⃣ Tips for preventing increased tooth sensitivity.

1️⃣ To prevent gum tissue recession, use a toothbrush with soft bristles;

2️⃣ Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth that gently removes plaque and reduces tooth sensitivity (for example, Elmex);

3️⃣ Brush your teeth and use dental floss twice a day to prevent gum tissue recession;

4️⃣ Clean all areas of your oral cavity, including the spaces between your teeth and along the gumline;

5️⃣ Try to consume fewer acidic foods and drinks in your diet;

6️⃣ Visit the dentist regularly to prevent the further development of the problem.
