Do you feel like your teeth are just more sensitive than others? That you’re doomed to deal with uncomfortable sensitivity for the rest of your life?

Well, we’re here to give you something to smile about. Not only are we exploring the reasons you might be predisposed to sensitivity, but we’re also reminding you of a critical solution to your sensitivity: hydroxyapatite toothpaste.

By addressing sensitivity at the source, nano hydroxyapatite is changing the game for sensitive mouths. No matter the cause (as you read on, you’ll discover there are many), hydroxyapatite is here to provide you with long-term enamel repair and tooth sensitivity relief.

genetics’ role in tooth sensitivity

Did you know that sensitive teeth can be genetic? Dental pain can range from a minor nuisance to severely debilitating, and genes can play a role in where you fall on this spectrum.

Specific genes influence the development of nerve pathways, where pain signals travel from your tooth to your brain. These nerve pathways can differ from person to person, influencing how much tooth pain they feel throughout their day, when they brush, or even during dental procedures (which is why some might require more numbing than others).

A common representation of this is redheads! Some research indicates that redheads might be more sensitive to pain, including tooth sensitivity. This is because red hair comes from a mutation to a receptor gene that’s connected to your pain response. Research also suggests that redheads might be less responsive to local anesthetics used in dentistry, and they’re twice as likely to avoid dental work due to bad experiences.

Not to fear! If you suspect you’re genetically predisposed to sensitive teeth, just be sure to tell your dentist in advance to avoid bad experiences. You can also brush with hydroxyapatite toothpaste to nurture strong, healthy enamel and provide tooth sensitivity relief.

hormonal changes and sensitive teeth

Hormones can also play a large role in tooth/gum sensitivity. As an example, estrogen and progesterone increase during pregnancy, which can cause inflammation in your gums, increase blood flow and volume to your mouth, and affect how your body responds to the bacteria in your mouth. All of these factors can make your teeth and gums more sensitive.

On the opposite end, decreased hormone production during menopause can lead to dry mouth, decreased bone density, thinning mouth tissue, and weakened enamel. All of these things can lead to uncomfortable tooth (and overall mouth) sensitivity.

During times of hormonal changes (from puberty to pregnancy and beyond), it’s important to add our hydroxyapatite toothpaste into your oral care routine to nurture strong enamel, reduce sensitivity, and fight bad bacteria for a healthy mouth.

daily habits that may cause sensitive teeth

Alongside genetics and hormones, your daily habits can play a huge role in causing/relieving sensitivity. From your diet to how hard you press on your toothbrush, there are so many things that can impact the sensitivity of your teeth. Here are a few!

• poor oral care habits: plaque buildup and tartar (hardened plaque) are among the most common causes of sensitivity! If you’re not properly brushing and flossing with effective toothpaste (like our hydroxyapatite toothpaste), plaque can remain on your enamel and damage, causing sensitivity.
• aggressive brushing: brushing too hard, especially with a medium-to-hard bristle toothbrush can erode your enamel. This exposes the sensitive layers beneath and the tubules that lead to your tooth’s ultra-sensitive center nerve. Our bamboo toothbrush is made with high-performance soft bristles to reveal an effective clean without harmful pressure. Our hydroxyapatite toothpaste works to repair damaged enamel and relieve sensitivity by delivering essential fortifying minerals and nutrients that bind to your teeth for long-term benefits.
• teeth grinding: just like aggressive brushing, teeth grinding can also wear down your enamel over time. Because teeth grinding is often a subconscious habit that occurs during sleep, it can be harder to identify and address. Be sure to take note if you’re waking up with jaw pain, tension headaches, and increased sensitivity in the morning. To understand the causes of teeth grinding and how nano hydroxyapatite can help, check out our previous article here.
• eating acidic or sugary foods: did you grow up eating/drinking sugary substances? Do you love lemons, limes, coffee, or wine? Over time, these things can weaken your enamel, also exposing the pathways to your tooth’s center nerve. Without repairing that enamel with powerful minerals like nano hydroxyapatite, these foods and drinks can lead to long-term sensitivity.
• whitening with peroxides: using peroxide mouthwash or whitening strips, gels, and foams can cause sensitivity after a single use. This is because peroxides release damaging free radicals as they work, causing discomfort for your gums, enamels, and mouth tissue.

If you’re experiencing sudden tooth sensitivity out of nowhere, it could result from a lingering dental issue (like a cracked tooth or cavity) or even sinus pressure. When you’re sick or experiencing allergies, the inflammation in your sinuses can increase the pressure on your teeth, resulting in sudden sensitivity.

solve your sensitivity with Davids hydroxyapatite toothpaste

When you use our hydroxyapatite toothpaste daily, you can smile bright knowing you’re providing relief for your sensitive teeth by nurturing strong, healthy enamel. Unlike other sensitive toothpastes that use chemicals to numb your teeth and gums, our hydroxyapatite toothpaste delivers enamel repair and tooth sensitivity relief at the source.

Because hydroxyapatite makes up the foundation of your enamel and dentin (the layer right below), the nano hydroxyapatite particles in our toothpaste can penetrate your enamel, bind to it, and fill any holes or imperfections that might expose your tooth’s center nerve. The result is a truly healthier, less sensitive smile.

If you feel like you’re someone who has surrendered to having more sensitive teeth than everyone else, give our hydroxyapatite toothpaste a try! It might just be the thing you’ve been seeking to achieve that healthy, comfortable smile.
