What is Teeth Sensitivity?

• Healthy teeth have a protective layer of enamel
  that keeps the crown (the part above the gum
  line) safe from wear and tear. Beneath the gum
  line, theres a layer called cementum that
  protects your tooth root. A lesser dense layer
  called dentine lies under the enamel and cementum
  and contain millions of microscopic tubules.
• When dentin loses the preventive cover of enamel
  or cementum, these tubules gets exposed, allowing
  hot, cold, acidic and even sticky food to reach
  the nerves inside the tooth. Result? Sharp and
  sudden pain.

How to Prevent Teeth Sensitivity?
Here are a few simple preventive measures to
keep tooth sensitivity at bay

• Enamel can wear off if you brush your teeth too
  zealously. Make sure you brush your teeth gently

  contain compounds that are effective enough to
  remove the plaque and clean teeth while provides
  quick relief from sensitivity.
• Brush and floss your teeth twice a day to avoid
  gum loss.
