Sensitive teeth can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as enamel wear, gingival margin recession, pulp exposure, etc. Common symptoms include pain or irritation when eating hot and cold foods, and bleeding or discomfort when brushing your teeth.

For sensitive teeth, it is more appropriate to choose a nylon brush filament with a higher softness. This reduces friction and pressure on the enamel and gum margin, avoiding further damage. Nylon brush filament is a common toothbrush material, which has the characteristics of high softness, good wear resistance, and not easy to deform. It effectively cleans the tooth surface and between teeth without causing damage to the tooth enamel.
