Brushing your teeth too vigorously or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can lead to gum inflammation and retreat, damage to tooth enamel and promote dentin exposure.

gingivitis - can cause gum swelling and soreness. Progressive gum disease can spread to the tissues surrounding the tooth and fixing it in the jaw. This leads to contraction of the gums and bone tissue and exposure of the tooth neck. Weakening of the gums and bone structure ultimately leads to tooth loss.

Teeth sensitivity after using home systems and even after professional whitening is very common. The manifestation of sensitivity and the period of time during which it is observed varies depending on each individual case and the condition of the person's teeth.

Bruxism is involuntary clenching of the jaws and grinding of teeth. Patients who suffer from teeth grinding can crack and damage the dental surface over time, making it vulnerable to hot or cold irritants. As a result of teeth grinding, the chewing surfaces of the teeth become flat, the teeth can be "erased" to hemp. On the chewing part of the tooth, the dentin surface becomes bare, smooth and crystalline.

Mouthwashes with a high alcohol content and containing bleaching agents may cause tooth sensitivity in some patients.

Sometimes after dental procedures, such as grinding a tooth, placing a crown or filling, removing tartar,teeth sensitivity may appear that lasts temporarily.

Aging plays a role in increasing tooth sensitivity. Teeth can become sensitive with age, even if you have never complained about it before. Research shows that patients between the ages of 20 and 30 are more likely to be more sensitive than patients of other ages.

Foods high in acid, such as apples, tomatoes, citrus fruits, can contribute to dental erosion, which in turn makes teeth more sensitive.

Malnutrition is most common among women in the 20-40 age group. Women who follow an unbalanced diet without adequate intake of vitamins and minerals may have decreased salivary secretion. Lack of saliva reduces the natural mineralization of the teeth. Prolonged demineralization can contribute to the process of erosion of tooth enamel. This, in turn, leads to increased tooth sensitivity due to exposed dentine. Girls and women who suffer from anorexia and bulimia, while spitting up food, expose their teeth to severe and irreversible damage - stomach acids cause erosion of tooth enamel.
