What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?
How It Works
Enamel protects dentin, but when it thins, external stimuli can reach nerve endings. Dentin contains tubules, tiny channels that transmit sensations to the pulp. Acidic diets, aggressive brushing, and SLS-based products increase permeability, allowing pain signals to reach nerves faster.
What Disrupts Enamel Protection
- Acidic Foods and Drinks: Citrus, soda, and vinegar-based foods erode enamel, exposing dentin.
- Harsh Toothpastes with SLS: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate weakens enamel and irritates gums.
- Overbrushing or Hard Bristles: Gradually scrape away protective enamel, especially along the gumline.
- Gum Recession: Often due to ageing or periodontal disease, it exposes dentin at the tooth root.
How Enzim Helps
Enzim 40 Plus use enzyme and mild abrasives to clean gently, without SLS or irritation. Our enzyme system maintains a healthy microbiome while strengthening the natural barrier around dentin.
