Tooth sensitivity caused by different factors, the most widespread of which is the recession of the gum tissue. The enamel covers the crown of the tooth, the part that is visible in the mouth. As we age, or with too vigorous of brushing, scrubbing side to side along the gum line will cause the gums to recede and expose the root surface of the tooth. The root surface is not covered with enamel and it has microscopic tubules that communicate from the surface to the pulp, causing the sensitivity.
