Tooth sensitivity can feel like a sharp shock when you eat or drink something hot, cold, or sweet ⚡🦷
But did you know your daily habits might be making it worse?
Here are 3 common habits that reduce enamel and increase sensitivity:
1️⃣ Brushing too hard
Using a hard-bristled toothbrush or brushing aggressively can wear down enamel and irritate your gums, exposing the sensitive layer underneath.
2️⃣ Frequent acidic foods & drinks
Soda, citrus fruits, energy drinks, and coffee can slowly erode enamel, making your teeth more sensitive over time.
3️⃣ Teeth grinding (Bruxism)
Grinding your teeth — especially at night — puts pressure on enamel and can cause long-term sensitivity and discomfort.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, don’t ignore it. Early treatment can prevent bigger problems.
