Gum recession: Using a hard/medium toothbrush over time, and/or gum disease (inflamed gums due to oral bacteria) gums will move away from teeth.

Plus, if you like the feel of a harder brush, all electric toothbrushes do feel a bit harder, even though they have soft bristles. If pressing too hard, the motor will continue to run, but the bristles will stop until you pull away from the teeth a bit. A great way to prevent scrubbing teeth is by getting an electric toothbrush that has a pressure sensitivity mode built in.

The average American brushes for about 42 seconds at one time. The American Dental Association has actually trademarked “Two Minutes Two Times a Day” to make sure we are brushing, not scrubbing, our teeth. It can also cause recession of the gums (the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth).

Brushing too hard: Over time, brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear down enamel and cause the second layer of tooth - dentin - to become exposed.

What can be done to help prevent this from happening in the first place, and to help prevent this from happening in the future? Now in the modern era of toothpastes and mouthwashes developed to help protect our teeth, tooth sensitivity, unfortunately, has been on the rise, and starting earlier. Scientists think teeth were created this way in order for our ancient ancestors to be able to tell the difference between safe and unsafe foods. Viewed under a microscope, healthy teeth (and bone) resemble honeycombs. You’ve always been able to eat anything and everything! Why are your teeth bothering you now?

Just a couple of days ago it was ice water with lemon.

And this is not the first time your teeth have hurt eating or drinking something cold or sweet. You put the cake down, rubbing your tongue against the effected teeth until they calm down. As soon as you bite into the cake, however, you get multiple zingers from the ice cream radiating into and up your teeth, causing shockwaves for the rest of the mouth. Imagine it’s your birthday and family have come over with an ice cream cake with your favorite filling! Candles have been lit, you make a wish, blow out the candles, and are served the first slice.
