FAQs
Sensitive teeth, or dentin hypersensitivity, can develop over time as a result of enamel wear and/or receding gums and can occur when the softer, inner part of the tooth called ''dentin'' becomes exposed. Thousands of microscopic channels run through the dentin toward the center of the tooth, where the nerves lie. Once the dentin is exposed, certain triggers (such as a cold or hot drink) can stimulate the nerves, resulting in that characteristic short, sharp jolt of tooth sensitivity pain.
Once dentin is exposed, there is no going back, but you can easily get sensitivity protection by brushing with sensodyne toothpaste twice a day, every day.
That sharp shock, jolt, or even minor twinge of pain you feel is usually caused by these common triggers below:
Cold foods or drinks.
Breathing in cold air.
Hot foods or drinks.
Sugary foods.
Sour foods.
Brushing your teeth.
Yes, having sensitive teeth is a common condition that affects 40% of people, most of whom are between the ages of 20 and 50.
Yes, brushing too hard or too frequently can contribute to gum recession and/or enamel wear, which, over time, can expose the soft, inner layer of your tooth, known as dentin, and can lead to sensitive teeth. The ADA recommends that you brush for 2 minutes twice a day with a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush. Using Sensodyne toothpaste twice a day, every day, can help.
There are many different causes of tooth pain other than tooth sensitivity. For example, a cracked tooth or a cavity (tooth decay) can become serious if left untreated. If you are feeling any tooth pain or discomfort, especially if it persists, the best thing you can do is visit your dentist and seek professional advice.
Although once you have sensitive teeth it cannot be reversed, switching to a daily sensitivity toothpaste, like sensodyne, can protect against the symptoms of sensitivity when used twice a day, every day. Sensodyne is specially formulated for tooth sensitivity relief and is the #1 dentist recommended toothpaste brand for sensitive teeth.
In addition, talk to your dentist about the symptoms you are experiencing. Your dentist can confirm whether or not tooth sensitivity is the cause of your tooth pain and then advise you on how to best care for sensitive teeth.

It’s important to continue brushing with Sensodyne toothpaste twice a day, every day, for lasting tooth sensitivity relief.

To maintain sensitivity relief, continue to use Sensodyne twice a day as your daily toothpaste.
