The Science Behind Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity happens when enamel erosion or gum recession exposes dentin, a porous layer containing microscopic tubules that connect directly to nerve endings. When these tubules are open, hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods stimulate the nerves, causing sharp, sudden pain. Proper oral care strengthens enamel, protects dentin, and soothes nerve sensitivity.

Have You Ever Wonder Why Your Teeth React So Quickly to Cold or Heat?

It’s your teeth’s way of signalling that their protective layers are thinning. Brushing too hard, acidic foods, or harsh toothpastes can wear down enamel and expose sensitive dentin. Once that barrier weakens, every sip or bite can trigger pain. Enzim 40 Plus gently protect and soothe sensitive teeth using Potassium Nitrate,  SLS-free, enzyme-based formula that supports natural oral balance.


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.

Enzymes: How They Help Relieve Sensitivity

Enzymes like Amyloglucosidase, Glucose Oxidase, and Lactoperoxidase protect sensitive teeth by maintaining oral balance and controlling bacterial growth. To further strengthen this defence, Enzim formulations include key soothing and restorative ingredients such as Potassium Nitrate to calm nerve endings, Zinc Gluconate to reduce inflammation, Allantoin and Vitamin E to aid tissue repair, and Xylitol to help prevent cavity formation. In Enzim 40 Plus, Colostrum adds natural growth factors and immune proteins that enhance gum health and hydration. Together, these elements create a stable oral environment that reduces acid attacks, reinforces enamel, and helps sensitive teeth recover their resilience over time.

The Consequences of Ignoring Sensitivity

When left untreated, tooth sensitivity can lead to deeper oral health issues:

  • Worsening enamel erosion
  • Persistent discomfort or sharp pain
  • Gum recession and exposure of tooth roots
  • Increased risk of cavities and infections
  • Difficulty eating or drinking normally

Ignoring sensitivity doesn’t just affect comfort, it can accelerate long-term enamel damage and oral decay. Addressing it early with enzyme-based care helps prevent chronic pain and tooth loss.
