Your gums may have receded, or some tooth enamel may have worn away. When this happens, the root surfaces of your teeth become exposed.
Exposed roots are porous, like a sponge. They contain thousands of tiny channels that lead straight to the nerves of your teeth.
When hot, cold or sweet foods and liquids contact the root surfaces they may stimulate the nerves, causing you to feel pain.
What can I do?
Use Colgate Sensitive toothpaste for effective sensitivity relief, that tastes great!
Brush the sensitive areas gently twice each day with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Colgate’s 360 Sensitive brush is specifically designed for this purpose.
*Maximum FDA allowed antisensitivity active ingredient.
