Research has shown that as many as one in three people may suffer from tooth hypersensitivity or pangingilo, with prevalence peaking at 30 to 40 years of age[1]. But in a study, two out of five younger adults, between 18 and 25 years old[2], otherwise known as “Generation Z” or “Gen-Z”, now experience the onset of tooth sensitivity.
Tooth sensitivity is a common, irreversible problem caused by dentine exposure brought about by attrition from tooth grinding or jaw clenching, erosion from dietary acids, or abrasion from brushing too vigorously. However, it can be managed with proper dental hygiene.
