1. Enamel wear (the #1 ignored cause)

Enamel is the barrier that protects your tooth.
When it thins, nerves become exposed: pain guaranteed.

❗Why does it wear down?

  • Too aggressive brushing

  • Abrasive toothpastes

  • Acidic drinks (lemon, sodas, vinegar…)

  • Nighttime teeth grinding

  • Incomplete cleaning allowing acidic bacteria to thrive

✅ Immediate solution

  • Use a gentle and regular sonic toothbrush

  • Avoid overly abrasive “whitening” toothpastes

  • Reduce acidity in your diet

  • Use a water flosser to eliminate bacteria without scrubbing

2. Teeth react to hot and cold

If a tooth reacts strongly to hot/cold, it’s never trivial.
It’s a sign that the enamel is porous or cracked.

What you can do:

  • Avoid extreme temperature changes

  • Use a low-frequency sonic toothbrush

  • Apply a remineralizing toothpaste


3. Tartar buildup (invisible but destructive)

A thin layer of tartar is enough to:

  • Recede the gums

  • Expose the nerves

  • Cause intense hypersensitivity

➡️ 87% of sensitive people have tartar without knowing it.

Modern solution

Dentists now use high-vibration sonic scalers (12,000 to 40,000 vib/min).
Good news: several professional-quality models now exist for home use.


4. Poor brushing (the most common problem)

Too hard = wear.
Not enough = acidic bacteria.

Both cause sensitivity.

Solution

Use a smart sonic toothbrush with:

  • 8 modes

  • Controlled pressure

  • Regular movements 45,000 vib/min
    … to reduce 99.9% of bacteria without traumatizing teeth.

5. Gum recession

When the gum recedes, the root becomes visible → very painful.

Cause:

  • Too hard brushing

  • Tartar

  • Mild infection

  • Poor hygiene between teeth

What really works

A complete interdental cleaning.
Water flossers fully professionalize this cleaning.


6. Dietary acidity (a bomb for enamel)

Lemon in water in the morning?
Very bad.
Even diluted.

Acidity dissolves enamel, leaving teeth raw.


7. Bruxism

Grinding teeth at night creates microscopic cracks → hypersensitivity.

Solution:

  • Mouthguard

  • Relaxation

  • Gentle cleaning


8. White teeth… but sensitive

Whitening gels temporarily open enamel pores → pain.

Solution:

LED whitening with soft silicone (like U-Shaped Pro™) = whitening without irritating the tooth.

9. Early cavities

They first manifest as slight sensitivity.
Then become deep.


10. Insufficient cleaning between teeth

70% of bacteria lodge between teeth.
Brushing is never enough.

Water flosser = the most effective solution recognized by dentists.


11. Too aggressive products

Whitening toothpastes, poorly formulated abrasive charcoal, alcohol-based mouthwashes…

They weaken the tooth instead of protecting it.
