I have very sensitive teeth. I have used crest and other whitening strips, but they have caused my teeth to hurt very bad. Does any body know of a whitening strip or product for very sensitive teeth.
I am also thinking about lumineers. does anyone have them. can they be financed? what are your payments if you financed them.?
Whitening strips for very sensitive teeth?
Over using whitening products will make your teeth become sensitive. Simply use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and cut down on the whitening process. Lumineers are a dumb idea-do some internet research on how long they stay "white" and could you afford to redo them every coupala years.
Reply:nope
Reply:All of the whitening products make your teeth sensitive. I always have my patients use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth for 2 weeks before they use a whitening product and continue to use the toothpaste while they are using it and that will help your teeth to be not as sensitive. You could also not leave the product on as long as they recommend. It will take you a little longer to get the end result but it will help you out. This is what I did when I used a whitening product. I would try this first before I got the lumineers. They are great if you do go that route. You will be very pleased with them. Good Luck with whatever you choose.

What can be done for sensitive teeth when Sensidyne toothpaste does not work?
Even though I've used Sensidyne on a continual basis for a couple of months, it does not help the sensitiviy along my teeth where some of my crowns meet the tooth. These same teeth are sensitive to cold, but not hot. They are also sensitive to brushing at first, but not as bad if I put hot water on my toothbrush and toothpaste.
Does anyone know of any new procedures that can desensitize teeth?
What can be done for sensitive teeth when Sensidyne toothpaste does not work?
If you haven't already had these teeth checked by your dentist I would do that first to make sure there is no decay along the crown margins. If there isn't then fluorides are your best bet. An over the counter product that I would try first is the new Crest ProHealth Toothpaste. This paste contains stannous fluoride which helps more with sensitivity than the sodium fluoride that you will find in other pastes and rinses. If that doesn't help enough then your dentist can put a fluoride varnish on these areas. This can help with the sensitivity for about three months. (cost would probably be under $35). Your dentist can also prescribe a toothpaste or rinse with a higher fluoride concentration for you. Hopefully that helps.
Reply:I think your problems require you to make an appointment with your dentist.
Reply:Do u have crowns fixed?
Reply:There is a kind of lacquer dentists can paint on that helps for months at a time but long term scrub the sides of your teeth gently and concentrate on the tops. They desensitize w. age like everything too!
Reply:increasing flouride treatments like ACT rinse will help. also the sensitivity could be cause from night grinding. call a dentist or try an OTC mouth gaurd to see if this could be the case?%26gt;good luck
Reply:I hear you! My dentist has some sort of brown gel that he puts on my teath that seems to work for a few months but it is really expensive! I just found this out...I'm not sure if this works but I heard Oragel has a new product that you apply once a month and this is supposed to work. This is what I will try next.
Reply:you can try cloves it should help the problem you have with sensitivity.
Reply:Certain dentists have a high tech sealer they brush on the teeth to stop the sensitivity (Gluma, Hurriseal, Pain-Free). "Seal %26amp; Protect" %26amp; "Clearfil SE Bond" are more expensive options offered by dentists. Call around and see which dentists offer it.

Reply:My dentist gave me Gel-Kam to use and it works pretty well. Check with your dentist.
Reply:Your dentist can put some flouride on it. That helps for a while. Or he/she can fill the places where it hurts.
Reply:Have your dentist give you a fluoride treatment, this may help.
Reply:to solve your sensitivity we need to know what is causing it.
Is your gum receeded in the area and the root of your tooth is exposed. If this is the case try using a daily flouride rinse..drug store. You can also go see your dentist and they can apply a special flouride varnish to the area which only stays on for a few hours and sinks into the root area and blocks the nerves.
the secound problem could be that you are clenching or grinding your teeth and this is causing you alot of sensitivity or even abfractions ( enamel brakes away leaving concave area on tooth) if this is the case get the dentist to fill the abfractions with a white filling material..no needle needed. Then get your self a night gaurd made, this plastic custom fitted appliance helps protect your teeth at night when you are grinding.
The other problem could be that you have a small fracture, old filling and the margins are leaky, or a small cavity.
Sometimes sensodyne just donstnt work for some people so try another brand like sensitive.
If this pain is coming from around crownd teeth you may have teeth that havnt been root canal first before placing the crowns. With a root canal they will remove all the nerves so that you have no feeling in the tooth. Usually they do root canals on crowned teeth, so it could be pain else where.
I hope this helped good luck and go see your dentist.

Sensitive hurting teeth, what can I do?
I've had problems with sensitive teeth, especially within the last week. It's not so much cold drinks or hot drinks etc. but it's the wind, or sometimes if I laugh, the burst of air. Sometimes when I talk on my cell, the vibrations from the other person's voice cause some irritation. It doesn't hurt alot, there's just some mild irritation. Does anyone know what I can do about it or what the condition is?
Sensitive hurting teeth, what can I do?
You most likely have recession of the gums. This results when the gum line wears away (could happen when you are aggressive in brushing). The gum that covers the root of the tooth will be exposed and the root isn't covered by enamel (because the gum is suppose to cover it) so when the gum recession happens it is like going outside without a coat on. Most likely cold sensitivity will happen, but in your case, you are getting it with air.
The best thing to do is to use a sensitive toothpaste like Sensodyne to help de-sensitize the tooth. If persists, have your dentist evaluate your gum, if the recession is too much and the support of the tooth is an issue, you could have a procedure that will graft the gum tissue back in this area.
Try the Sensodyne paste and use a extra soft brush or even better use an electric toothbrush with light pressure!
Hope this helps!

Should fillings change how sensitive my teeth are?
I have never had sensitive teeth. Cold foods don't bother me. I got some cavities filled this morning and it just seemed to change my teeth. I can't really feel from the teeth that were filled. I know one of the teeth had two fillings. Is it normal for me not to be able to feel from these teeth? Will I get the feeling back or will I just not notice anymore?
Serious answers please!
Should fillings change how sensitive my teeth are?
You should just wait another day. Usually for me, the day after I get a filling, my teeth are sensitive, so I think you should just wait it out. Good Luck!
Reply:I have had a lot of fillings.Give them a couple of days and they will feel normal again. But they may stay sensitive to cold and hot foods.
Reply:when u first get ur teeth filled u feel that way it is totally and completely normal, and see when ur teeth get filled recently u start to feel the hot and cold foods or drinks on them but the level of pain depends on the person, i had fillings 5 years ago and i still feel some pain from cold of hot foods or drinks, theyre not so noticable though, but hopefully u wont have to deal with that,
; )
Reply:It can change you sensitive you are. If the filling is stuck in close to the nerve, ti will be a lot more sensitive. Feeling should return in a day or 2.
Reply:Please use the "Add Details" feature and explain whether you mean that you just feel weird in that tooth or whether the whole area is still numb as if you just had the shot.

Sensitive teeth--sign of pregnancy?
Basically just overnight a few of my teeth became really sensitive to hot and cold things. I was just at the dentist and things looked good, but i opted out on getting xrays because I was on Clomid and could have been pregnant. I'm going back to get an xray next week...OB says just to double up on lead cover for protection in case. Has this ever happened to anyone in early pregnancy??
Sensitive teeth--sign of pregnancy?
MY teeth get sensitive at both pregnancy and AF time. My nails as well. I wear overlays, so yes.
I have lost teeth due to pregnancy. But it is NOT a sure sign of pregnancy! The one true sign and even that is NOT 100% is a missed period.
Your ob should have had you come in for a blood test, that is the best way to get the earliest HCG level reading. Can read up to 5 days before your period. But I am not saying your OB is bad or anything.
I would hold off if you can for a little bit longer to see if you get AF or not, how close are you to getting your cycle?
Reply:i really dont think thats a sign of pregnancy.... pregnant people get sensitive teeth because of all the calcium their body is using making the baby.... but i dont think you can start noticing it that early....
Reply:you may need a soft tooth brush
Reply:it could be, but to be sure you do need to see a doctor or take a home pregnancy test.
Good luck sweetie :)

Can Changing Tooth Paste Make Your Teeth More Sensitive?
well ive always had sensitive teeth, but never TOO bad to cause me any real problems.
anyway ive always used colgate whitening, but changed my toothpaste to this new aquafresh stuff (it actually seems better stuff) but ive noticed since ive changed my teeth are SOOOO sensitive at the back.
when i swill my mouth with mouthwash the pain is really bad (or drink something hot or cold) anyway could it be the changeover of toothpaste that is not agreeing with my teeth?
Can Changing Tooth Paste Make Your Teeth More Sensitive?
some toothpastes are more abrasive than others. i think it's very likely that your changing of toothpaste has caused this.
if i were you i would switch back to the old toothpaste and see if the sensitivity is reduced in a couple of weeks. if it isn't, then check with your destist.
Reply:I suggest talking to your dentist about it. Your teeth should not suddenly get sensitive just cause of a change of toothpaste! I started using Aquafresh extreme clean whitening and I think that it is the best toothpaste ever made! It makes you want to brush your teeth. But anyway, you should definitely talk to your dentist about your sensitivity. No one should have sensitive teeth if they take care of them properly.
Reply:first off the pain in your back teeth leads an implication of a possible cavity??? but since you say its multiple teeth at the back of your mouth, than absolutley changing toothpaste can most def make your teeth more sensitive. Best solution i can offer you is try mixing the toothpastes' together for about a week and then tryig the aquafresh all on its own again and see if there is any change. Personally according to most DDS' colgate and and crest are 2 of the best out there! If this doesnt help, your problem may be deeper such as a nerve or possibly root. after a week i would make an appt. with your dentist to check on it. oh and floruide is the main thing that can change sensitivity. Good luck. i hope you feel better!

Reply:The new tooth paste u have is too abrasive. It take the enamle off and exposes the dentin to the surface causing you sensitivity. Usually, whitening toothpastes ahve a lot of abrasivity so i dont recommend them at all. I suggest you try a dentin filling toothpaste like Sensodyne. It will really help you.

Reply:Those stuff are all chemical things and of course they are bond to hurt you in some way, whatever you notice it or not.
I use Vicco or any other tooth past that are made of natural products and are even better them those moderns one.
Reply:I changed my toothpaste from Colgrate to one that does NOT contain Fluoride.
My sensitive teeth are so much better now that I can put ice cubes in my mouth and chew them!
Colgrate and the other ones on the highstreet mainly use a fine abrasive as well. This finely abrases the surface of your teeth, so damaging them. It may cost a few quid more than the usual stuff but it is worth it!
Think about this as well - Dental fluorosis! http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?p=dent...
Also AVOID ASPARTAME. This can cause untold damage to your teeth.
Reply:For starters Aquafresh toothpaste is quite errosive, which means it thins the enamel on your teeth. The sensitvity is proberbly due to use of this tooth paste doing just that. Change back to colgate.

Sensitive teeth all of a sudden what could have caused it?
the last 2 days my front teeth have been so sensitive i can hardly brush my tongue on them without it hurting..
things ive eaten that are not my usual the last few days are:
Strawberry sugar free gum (new one)
sour zappos lollies
lemon juice with water
dz dutch licorice
thats basically it that has been different from the days before... i cant work it out
Sensitive teeth all of a sudden what could have caused it?
Are you drinking water with lemon or lemon juice with water? The acidity in lemon juice is a very common reason why sensitivity can appear out of no where. Try to avoid lemons for awhile and see if it gets better.
And try brushing with Sensodyne too!
Reply:Oh crap, lemon juice mixed with dz dutch licorice is toxic.
Call an ambulance right away and rush off to the hospital for an enema, it's your only hope!!!!
Reply:It's the sour candy and the lemon juice.. it's really acidic so it wears away the enamel on your teeth and makes your tongue feel raw.. I used to eat and drink the same things like.. ALL the time. Try to stay away from that stuff, it's murdering your mouth.

OK to use tooth-whitening rinse if I have sensitive teeth?
I have sensitive teeth and use sensitive-teeth toothpaste. I was recently enticed by tooth-whitening rinse with hydrogen peroxide, but I fear that it will undo all the sensitivity protection that my toothpaste has been building up. True?
And does this type of rinse really whiten teeth?

It doesn't work and you will undo all the good that lovely toothpaste has done. Ouch.
Buy a different mouthwash and floss regularly. If you want whiter teeth, ask your dentist.

Reply:The whitening solution in the rinse is very weak. I doubt it'll cause you any problems. I have to use my sensitive-teeth toothpaste exclusively and have used it as long as I can remember. I bought some whitening rinse but it tastes so terrible I rarely "remember" to use it.
Maybe you will be able to build up sensitivity protection and stop the sensitive-teeth toothpaste, but I haven't been able to.
I used Sensodyne for years and have just switched to Crest ProHealth this past month. I haven't had any problems switching but my husband had to switch back.
Some years ago, I used Crest White Strips (recommended by my dentist) and found they did not whiten my teeth. I drink strong tea every day and probably undid any good they did. When I tried them again recently, I had terrible gum pain and had to stop. My dental hygienist says she uses the strips and just takes a couple of Tylenol. That wasn't enough for me. The pain lasted about 3 days. So, I am not going to go to the dentist for a whitening experience any time soon.
Hope your teeth whiten up nicely.
Reply:If you have sensitive teeth, can consider using some homemade remedies to whiten your teeth.
The most common option used as homemade teeth whitening agent is baking soda, which has a mild bleaching action. Given that it is used in baking, it also implies safety. Baking soda is sprinkled on the toothbrush, and teeth then cleaned using a gentle, circular motion. Care should still be taken though, especially for people with gum sensitivity. Old wives’ recipes often state that a paste of baking powder, a little salt, and a few drops of white vinegar, works effectively.
Salt, used exactly as baking soda, is also touted as being a good teeth whitener. However, it might just be its osmosis, dehydrating action that makes teeth appear whiter, since dehydrated teeth look whiter.
Lemon juice is often used, but it had high acidic levels, so teeth can weaken in the long run. Other natural, fruit options regard rubbing the inside of an orange peel on the teeth. A strawberry cut in half and the inside rubbed on teeth also works. Mashed strawberry can also be applied with a toothbrush. Apple cider vinegar is also said to be effective. Dried orange rind, and walnut bark, is also good.

Sensitive teeth have also been linked to diabetes. Not saying thats whats going on but its something to think about.
Reply:go to the doctors if he says no then believe him
Reply:Nope never heard of that one.
Reply:Not that I have ever heard of. If you are looking for little things to tell you are pregnant and ignoring other things because you want to be pregnant you are only setting yourself up for a disappointment as hard as it may be just try to relax and take things one day at a time. I know what it is like to think you are pregnant then be disappointed yet again.
Reply:not sensitive to hot and cold but hurting teeth yes. because the baby takes so much from your body, like calcium, it causes your teeth to hurt. my doctor says thats why its important to take care of your teeth while pregnant, flossing everyday and brushing, but he stresses flossing and so does the dentist.

Sensitive teeth--sign of pregnancy?
Sensitive teeth have also been linked to diabetes. Not saying thats whats going on but its something to think about.
Reply:go to the doctors if he says no then believe him
Reply:Nope never heard of that one.
Reply:Not that I have ever heard of. If you are looking for little things to tell you are pregnant and ignoring other things because you want to be pregnant you are only setting yourself up for a disappointment as hard as it may be just try to relax and take things one day at a time. I know what it is like to think you are pregnant then be disappointed yet again.
Reply:not sensitive to hot and cold but hurting teeth yes. because the baby takes so much from your body, like calcium, it causes your teeth to hurt. my doctor says thats why its important to take care of your teeth while pregnant, flossing everyday and brushing, but he stresses flossing and so does the dentist.
Reply:I just heart if your gumms bleed a lot, that's a sign. Everybody has different signes. Get a "First Response" or a doctors test done. Best of Luck.

Best teeth whitener for sensitive teeth?
I want them to be whiter but i have really sensitive teeth. I havn't tried any yet, even though I've had tons of friends who whitened their teeth with Crest Whitestrips, and ive had some good recommendations about the Rembrandt trays.
Best teeth whitener for sensitive teeth?
That a ? for a dentist. But as a matter of fact Crest just cam out with these strips that only take 5 minutes, those would probably not cause has much hurt because they aren't on for long. I don't how well they work though.

Sensitive teeth from whiteners?
I have been using 'white strips' by crest for three days(my dentist recommended them) and my teeth have become a bit sensitive especially to hot and cold.
Is this temporary or am i setting myself for a lifetime of niggling pain.
Thanks
Sensitive teeth from whiteners?
This should be temporary, and it is normal when whitening.
Use Sensodyn toothpaste and when you go to sleep rub it on and don't rinse off.
Also, it is important to avoid citrus foods and fizzy water or other drinks (regardless of whether they are sugar free) before, during and for about a week after whitening teeth.
Hope it helps ! It'll be worth it - "Bling"!!
Reply:It should be only temporary................. rub sensodyne on them.
Reply:i would recommend Euthymol toothpaste, used twice a day for white shiny teeth and amazing protection. I am 40 and have never had a filling and have always used it, never get sensitive teeth and never have bad breath.
Reply:Be fine next in few days
Reply:you had it now. The bleach has eaten your enamel, you will soon land up with pain %26amp; you need to go in for root canal treatment.
Reply:It's temporary providing you look after your teeth well. What it does is kind of open up tiny tiny channels into the middle of your tooth where the nerve is...hence pain to hot and cold. You need to get yourself a toothpaste that provides blockages to these little channels in the form of mineral ions. Sensodyne is a good one for that, especially the Pronamel range.
In the mean time, avoid things that cause you the pain; don't forget to avoid anything coloured - if it's a drink, try with a straw and don't slosh it around your mouth.
Good luck!

Go to your dentist and they'll apply a fluoride varnish. Or buy sensidyne and plaster it on your teeth. Other than that, it'll take about a day for you teeth to feel better.
Reply:Buy some sensodyne and smoother it on your teeth leave it there for a good ten minutes or longer if you can handle it. Rinse and do it again when your teeth start feeling sensetive again.

Dentists: my back teeth get very sensitive when I bite/chew chocolate? This only happens with chocolate.?
Ok, silly question.
When I bite chocolate with my back teeth, they get very sensitive and start to hurt a lot.
I've found that this doesn't happen EVERY time but around 75% of the time, it will.
My teeth could get brushed a bit more often and I was using toothpaste for sensitive teeth for a while but that didn't work.
I was eating a chocolate biscuit today and I found that it happened even when I bit down using my front teeth!
I wish it didn't happen to such a good treat =D
What type of toothpaste could I use to make it go away?
What can I do to get the pain to go away while eating chocolate?
Dentists: my back teeth get very sensitive when I bite/chew chocolate? This only happens with chocolate.?
Chocolates / sugar is converted to acid, that causes sensitiviy. You must also check if you have cavities, gum recession or lowering of gums and root exposure, abraded or damaged enamel. Extremes of temperature change also casuses, especially on metallic fillings
Reply:maybe your teeh get really irrated with chocolate and so wen your teeth get like that it is probably to much of it at once your teeth cant handle special thing like that
Reply:Simple: stop eating chocolate until you see a dentist who could tell you what's going on.
Good luck!!! ^_^
Reply:Chocolate has acids in it and when you chew that is what causes sensitivity to your teeth. You may have cavities in the back and need to get it checked out.
Reply:I have the exact same problem! Thing is, only when I eat certain kinds of chocolate - coating chocolate. There's a difference. Real chocolate is produced using cocoa butter, and a longer 'conching' (mixing, basically,) process that leaves the end product very smooth. Coating chocolate, which hurts our teeth, is 'fake' chocolate - oils and emulsifiers instead of all natural cocoa. It's cheaper, and used in alot of candy bars. It's these impurities that are getting past tooth enamel through what amount to micro-cavities - the same problem that causes discomfort for hot or cold in some people.
Instead of giving up on chocolate, start keeping tabs on what you're eating when it hurts and when it doesn't. For example, when I eat a Hershey's bar, (real chocolate,) everything's fine. When I eat a Caramilk, (coating chocolate,) my teeth hurt. And then just steer away from the ones that bother your teeth. People will come to think you're an elite chocolate connoisseur! Fun!
Reply:well any time I've ever had a tooth that hurts when I eat chocolate, it's turned out to have a cavity in it. You really need to go to the dentist to make sure this isn't the case with you.

Can I use mouthwash while using sensitive teeth toothpaste?
I have a tooth with a tiny chip in it and my dentist recommended to brush with sensitive teeth toothpaste and keep it really clean to avoid decay. I wanted to use mouthwash to help kill germs but I am concerned about it counteracting the sensitive toothpaste ... is it ok to use both?

Reply:sure - won't hurt a thing!
Reply:If you have sensitive teeth and want to use mouthrinse, you should have your dentist prescribe you a Neutral sodium fluoride mouthrinse. Monthrinses that contain alcohol or are acidic can actually irritate your sensitive areas further.
You may be able to find an OTC mouthrinse for sensitivity, however the dentist prescribed one will work much better. Also, if your sensitivity is coming from recession of your gum tissue, it would actually be a good idea to use a fluoride mouthrinse, because the cementum on your root surfaces is not as strong as the enamel, and therefore is a great place for cavities to form.

What can I do about my sensitive teeth?
I totally avoid drinking water because it hurts so bad, would the sensodyne*? toothpaste help with sugar sensitivity?
I am drinking some iced tea and my teeth are just aching! I believe i grind my teeth, the front ones hurt on the tops where they touch the back of my top teeth and of course my "problem teeth" hurt whenever i eat almost anything with sugar.
Would the tooth paste be enough for the front teeth? or is there a dental procedure that can be done to help this?
I have medical insurance, but its not the best, would they cover something to help with my sensitive teeth?
I have a very high tolerance for tooth pain, so i'm not being a wuss. (I have bad tooth problems, my two top wisdom teeth need removed because the back side didnt come through enough for me to brush nor could i floss the area because of the way they came in... and i lived with a tooth that needed a root canal for 6 months before getting it fixed)
What can I do about my sensitive teeth?
Couple things.
First try the sensodyne for a week or two. If it doesn't provide relief see if your dentist will write you a script for PreviDent sodium fluoride. It's pretty cheap for a tube and you brush it on before, wait 30 seconds spit it out and don't drink/eat anything for about 30 minutes. It applies a floride bond to the teeth that lessens sensitivity.
If you can't do the dentist route look in the drugstores for something called GelCam in the dental section. It's similar but not as strong. It will probably help though. The Prevident is about 1.1% floride where the Gelcam is about .5%.
Also use a straw when drinking, that will eliminate liquid hitting the teeth.
Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Reply:Sensodyne is absolutely super.
I suffered from sensitive teeth for ever. I couldn't eat chocolate because it would just make my teeth ache with the most horrible pain. I've lost calcium in a couple of my molars and they were so sensitive it hurt to brush them.
I believe it takes about a week or two before sensodyne fully kicks in. I noticed improvements myself in about 3 days.
Still advise you get your dental work done as soon as possible... and make sure you don't have any cavities that are causing the sensitivity.
Hope this helps.

My teeth get sensitive whenever i eat certain fruit, what do i do?
when i eat fruit like plums, slightly raw pineapple etc.. teeth get sensitive.
Any natural home made cures for sensitive teeth, if something is wrong with mine?
Thanks.
My teeth get sensitive whenever i eat certain fruit, what do i do?
The sugars and acids in fruit attack the lining of teeth.Sugar consumption leads to a general decline in the health of the enamel,exposing nerve endings.Normal mouth chemistry will reverse the damage.The catch is, you have to eliminate sugar from your diet to restore normal mouth chemistry.Sensodyne deadens the nerves which are telling you that you are damaging your teeth,it does not reverse the damage.
Reply:Some friuts are quite acidic such as oranges which can damage the enamel on your teeth and make them sensitive if you eat a lot of them the same goes for orange juice, diet coke and things like that.
Reply:Me too! I have sensitive teeth. Use Sensodyne toothpaste, twice a day and the pain will only be a memory! ;)
Reply:Your just eating fruits with a high acidity level, and etching your teeth out in the process. The acid just opens the tubules of the tooth up, making stimuli transmit to the pulp faster. We always advise patients to reduce or skip a day of consumption of these fruits and juices. And to help with the sensitivity use Sensodyne Toothpaste. It usually takes a couple of weeks for the toothpaste to work on reducing the sensitivity, but it does work. If you don't see results after a couple of days of using the toothpaste and discontinuing the fruit, you should call your dentist for an exam, and placement of desensitizer to help the teeth settle down. Also try some Advil or Motrin for now. Good luck, and watch out for that tasty fruit!

Does professional tooth whitening harm already sensitive teeth?
as I have receding gums and one of my front teeth is really sensitive at the moment. I am getting married in 2 weeks and would like to have them professionally whitened (gel 4 2 weeks) but feel like it may harm my teeth and make them more sensitive and weak...is this true, will it damage my teeth?
Thanks Gemma
Does professional tooth whitening harm already sensitive teeth?
The bleaching process effects patients in different ways, but if you already experience sensitivity in some areas it probably will make them a little more sensitive. I have the same problem and understand completely. I bleached mine about 10 years ago and do a touch up every 4-5 months with the trays using a 22% solution of Nite White for about 30 minutes at a time. One way to bleach with reduced sensitivity is to limit your time, instead of bleaching for an hour, do two 30 minute sessions. One 30 minute session in the morning and then another 30 minutes at bedtime. That way you will reduce the amount of exposure time to the solution per session and have less sensitivity during the day, and then the night time bleaching will allow your teeth all night to recover. We usually recommend reducing the time or skipping a day. This will also let you decide if your teeth can tolerate longer, just increase your time by 10 to 15 minutes each session. You can increase and decrease as you need it. The sensitivity usually last for a few hours to a day at most. You will want all the teeth to be bleached including the area that has some recession on the anterior teeth for ultimate results. To add a desensitizer to the receded area would prevent bleaching or stop the bleaching process. It's better to reduce the time or see how well you tolerate the solution. There are several different materials with solution strengths to choose from. All of these are safe to use and won't harm the enamel or the strength of the tooth structure. The bleaching process isn't suppose to hurt you or your teeth, only whiten them to the brightest possible shade by removing the staining under the many layers of enamel. Your dentist will be better able to provide you with the solution that will cause you the least sensitivity and the best results. Good luck and I'm sure you will enjoy the results for years to come!
Reply:it will DEFINITELTY make them more sensitive. but your dentist will be able to fix that, and some procedures will actually coat the receeding areas so the bleach wont get on them. you'd have a multi colored tooth but it won't be nearly as sensitive. Talk to your dentist or check out the sites below.
Reply:It won't damage your teeth, but you might experience extra sensitivity. I would recommend using sensodyne from now until you get the whitening done and bring some acetaycylic acid with you for any pain you might feel after the treatment. Acetacylic acid is much better than Ibuprofen or acetametophrin. It prevents the prostaglandin hormones from swimming around (those hormones responsible for pain). The latter 2 drugs mainly deal with inflammation. The key to acetacylic acid though is to take it before you have pain. If you think about it, if it stops prostaglandin activity, it can more easily deal with the circulation of a few as opposed to many.
Wishing you white teeth and no pain!!
Reply:Regardless of if you have sensitive teeth to begin with or not bleaching can make your teeth sensitive. I bleach mine with professional gel and it makes them sensitive every time, but it's well worth the outcome. Normally the sensitivity doesn't last that long. Maybe a day or two at the very most. A good bleaching procedure, if done with trays and professional bleach at home, or in the office, won't damage tissues. It's your enamel that you're going to feel that ache in. What I find really helps me, and what we recommend to all of our patients who have that problem with sensitivity (after bleaching or even just for sensitivity in general) is using something with a high fluoride concentrate afterwards. You can get a prescription gel called Prevident that you can put in your bleaching trays and soak your teeth in for a couple of hours, or you could even ask your dentist about different options. Either way it's worth the sensitivity for you're bright white smile for your wedding day!
Reply:DON'T DO IT!! If you have sensitive teeth, NEVER use any type of whitening toothpaste, and do not have any type of bleaching done. I have extremely painful sensitivity!! Trust me- using these things will only make the sensitivity worse! Don't even use sensitive toothpaste with whitening- just use regular sensitive toothpaste. It's not worth it- this is your only set of teeth that have to last you the rest of your life.

Does professional tooth whitening harm already sensitive teeth?
The bleaching process effects patients in different ways, but if you already experience sensitivity in some areas it probably will make them a little more sensitive. I have the same problem and understand completely. I bleached mine about 10 years ago and do a touch up every 4-5 months with the trays using a 22% solution of Nite White for about 30 minutes at a time. One way to bleach with reduced sensitivity is to limit your time, instead of bleaching for an hour, do two 30 minute sessions. One 30 minute session in the morning and then another 30 minutes at bedtime. That way you will reduce the amount of exposure time to the solution per session and have less sensitivity during the day, and then the night time bleaching will allow your teeth all night to recover. We usually recommend reducing the time or skipping a day. This will also let you decide if your teeth can tolerate longer, just increase your time by 10 to 15 minutes each session. You can increase and decrease as you need it. The sensitivity usually last for a few hours to a day at most. You will want all the teeth to be bleached including the area that has some recession on the anterior teeth for ultimate results. To add a desensitizer to the receded area would prevent bleaching or stop the bleaching process. It's better to reduce the time or see how well you tolerate the solution. There are several different materials with solution strengths to choose from. All of these are safe to use and won't harm the enamel or the strength of the tooth structure. The bleaching process isn't suppose to hurt you or your teeth, only whiten them to the brightest possible shade by removing the staining under the many layers of enamel. Your dentist will be better able to provide you with the solution that will cause you the least sensitivity and the best results. Good luck and I'm sure you will enjoy the results for years to come!
Reply:it will DEFINITELTY make them more sensitive. but your dentist will be able to fix that, and some procedures will actually coat the receeding areas so the bleach wont get on them. you'd have a multi colored tooth but it won't be nearly as sensitive. Talk to your dentist or check out the sites below.
Reply:It won't damage your teeth, but you might experience extra sensitivity. I would recommend using sensodyne from now until you get the whitening done and bring some acetaycylic acid with you for any pain you might feel after the treatment. Acetacylic acid is much better than Ibuprofen or acetametophrin. It prevents the prostaglandin hormones from swimming around (those hormones responsible for pain). The latter 2 drugs mainly deal with inflammation. The key to acetacylic acid though is to take it before you have pain. If you think about it, if it stops prostaglandin activity, it can more easily deal with the circulation of a few as opposed to many.
Wishing you white teeth and no pain!!
Reply:Regardless of if you have sensitive teeth to begin with or not bleaching can make your teeth sensitive. I bleach mine with professional gel and it makes them sensitive every time, but it's well worth the outcome. Normally the sensitivity doesn't last that long. Maybe a day or two at the very most. A good bleaching procedure, if done with trays and professional bleach at home, or in the office, won't damage tissues. It's your enamel that you're going to feel that ache in. What I find really helps me, and what we recommend to all of our patients who have that problem with sensitivity (after bleaching or even just for sensitivity in general) is using something with a high fluoride concentrate afterwards.

I have sensitive teeth ALL THE TIME (for the past year!)?
I have had sensitive teeth for nearly two years and the pain has only gotten worse. I have seen four different dental practices and the pain has now become so bad that I can't talk outside as if the cold hits my teeth I would just die from the pain. I use sensodyne on a daily basis plus those desensitising gels, none of which have worked in the slightest and I'm really scared I might loose all of my teeth as the pain I feel on a daily basis/every second of the day cannot be normal. No dentist seems to be able to help me and when I vist a dentist they just say, "oh you have perfect teeth" and that they cannot find anything wrong in the X-ray. It's so annoying and I really need a cure now - I think I could lose my husband also as when we have a conversation sometimes I just wave my hand to get him to stop talking because if I have to answer him the pain hurts so much. Someone help me please - I really need help.
I have sensitive teeth ALL THE TIME (for the past year!)?
Well, I know how annoying it is for a doctor to ignore the reason you are seeing him. You didn't know you had "perfect teeth?" Gee, thanks, but I'm here because THEY HURT LIKE HELL ALL THE TIME!!! I guess then they will just tell you to calm down, but maybe you'd get their attention. I wonder if they do that because they really don't know what's wrong and they don't want to seem stupid.
The only thing I can think of is if you have whitened your teeth in that time? I used that paint on stuff and they all hurt like heck for a while and I had to skip my sensitive tooth.
Maybe if you went to a dental school and got an appointment there they might have more of a clue because they're learning. I'm sorry but I don't know what else to suggest. Good luck!
Reply:if you have already been to your dentist then i have only one thing to sugest which is use a sensitive tooth paste like sensodineit really helps and is relitivly cheap.
hope you cure your sensitive teeth soon

Reply:keep the paste on your teeth for atleast 2 minutes before brushing them,but i am suprised that if 4 dentists didnt find something wrong it might be a neurological problem.get it checked out from that angle

Sensitive teeth after baking soda?
Today, I brushed my teeth straight baking soda. At around two or three, when I ate, they were really sensitive! They hurt when I bite with my front teeth. Is this because of the baking soda? I was simply trying to whiten them, and they seem whiter even just after that!
Sensitive teeth after baking soda?
ya like some one said u can defently use sensodyne for a while untill the sensitivity is out .....bakind soda might have abraded ur enamel and that would cause the sensitivity...dont use it without any professional advice ....because once enamel is lost due to abrasion it cannot be regrown or repaired ....
Reply:Baking soda is an abrasive. Look at the box. You can also use it to clean your stove. Follow brushing with some ACT flouride rinse and/or switch to Sensodyne toothpaste for awhile until the sensitivity subsides.

How do you deal with sensitive teeth?
I have had braces for about 4 months and haven't really had any problems until now. I used to have an eye tooth (not sure of the technical name, sorry.) the was crooked and sort of jutted forward and slightly to to the right in front of my front tooth. Since I've had the braces, this has come down and straightened out, but I've noticed that the space between these two teeth has become EXTREMELY sensitive to cold and heat over the last week and a half. Any time I drink or eat anything cold or hot, I get this pain that just shoots through my mouth until it decides to calm down.
Does anyone know how to make this stop? From what I can tell, it's not a cavity, as it hasn't shown up on my dental x-rays. The entire tooth is sensitive due to shifting, and best I can figure is that the tooth has had a spot exposed that's not used to being exposed and is very sensitive, but how do I make it stop?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
How do you deal with sensitive teeth?
That is common. Just the braces alone is painful, especially since it has been moving the gum may have even receded a little. Try the new crest pro-health toothpaste. Its great for sensitivity and unlike the other toothpaste for sensitive teeth, your teeth actually feel clean. Dont forget to floss!
Reply:Dont drink cold and eat very sweet.
Reply:I agree with trista. Try a toothpaste for dental sensitivity like Crest Pro-Health. It is for sensitive teeth and also fights against plaque, tarter and bad breath like all other toothpastes.
Just a note though, if you do use Crest Pro-heath, if you get these stringy things in your mouth after brushing, it is normal. I get them too and they are annoying. Husband gets them too. Have no idea what they are.

Sensitive teeth after britesmile treatment?
I had my teeth whitened very recently with britesmile. My teeth are still quite sensitive and hurt at random intervals. Does the sensititivity eventually go away?
Also, what foods should I eat in the first 24 hours that are okay with britesmile?
Results were good, but my teeth hurt like hell right now.
Paul
Sensitive teeth after britesmile treatment?
During the first 24 hours following bleaching (the bleaching process still goes on in first 24 hours!), some patients experience sensitivity, which is mild if the teeth were not normally sensitive. If your teeth are normally sensitive, the bleaching may make them more sensitive, and it may be necessary to discontinue the process until desensitizing procedures are completed. If you experience some tooth sensitivity after bleaching, a mild analgesic, (Tylenol or Advil) will be effective until the sensitivity subsides.
There are some other remedies for sensitivity. Some toothpastes (Sensodyne), typically those labeled as being "for sensitive teeth", contain the ingredient potassium nitrate. Continued use of a tube of this type of toothpaste over a period of some days and weeks should decrease the amount of tooth thermal sensitivity that a person experiences.
Diet wise, you do need to be "good" for 24 hours! Basically, for just 24 hours avoid ANYTHING in your mouth that would stain a white shirt or blouse on contact. You can eat chicken, white rice, fish, bananas, etc. Avoid red wine, red sauces, soy sauces, Coffee..
Reply:It does go away. Buy a softer toothbrush.
Reply:Definitely try Sensodyne toothpaste until the sensitivity goes away!
Reply:Do what Angela says, but if you do not start to see some improvement by the end of the week, go back to the dentist and get some home fluoride.
Reply:This is very normal. The sensitivity should only last about 2-3 days in most patients.
In the first 24 hours you should stay away from the following things:
red sauces, red wine, soy sauce, mustard, sodas, berrys and any kind of berry pie, smoking, tea, coffee.

Sensitive Teeth ... Help!?
My teeth have always been sensitive. The past month, however, it has been very sharp and quite painful with hot or cold of any kind (eating food is OK). I have used Sensodyne the past two weeks, and it has helped a little, but not a lot.
I went to the dentist, and got a full exam. No cavities, teeth look very healthy and gums are perfect, he said. He is a very good dentist but, when asked what could be done he had no solutions.
What can I do? I hate this feeling. It is on the back 3 teeth on the bottom of the right side of my mouth. I am starting to feel hopeless.
Sensitive Teeth ... Help!?
Sensitive teeth can be treated. Depending on the cause, we may suggest that you try an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste (such as Sensodyne) If the sensitivity is severe we may recommend a prescription grade toothpaste (called Fluoridex) that contains combines desensitizing with a high concentration of fluoride to help block sensation traveling from the tooth surface to the nerve. Desensitizing toothpaste usually requires several applications before the sensitivity is reduced.
If the desensitizing toothpaste does not ease your discomfort, we may suggest in-office treatments. A fluoride gel or special desensitizing agents may be applied to the sensitive areas of the affected teeth. When these measures do not correct the problem we may recommend other treatments, such as a filling, a crown, or a bonding to correct a flaw or decay that results in sensitivity. The type of treatment will depend on what is causing the sensitivity.

Sensitive teeth after wisdom tooth extraction?
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out a week ago. For the past 3-4 days, some of my other teeth seem to be pretty sensitive. Some are just aching a little...one seems to be sesitive to cold all of a sudden. Is this normal? I wasn't warned about this by my oral surgeon. Has anyone else experienced this??
Sensitive teeth after wisdom tooth extraction?
Its very common for there to be sensitivity after extractions. Just make sure not to disturb where the extractions were done for at least 72 hours. Also it helps to rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1/2teaspoon salt in a glass of warm water) this should be done 3 to 4 times a day for 4 days. If you continue to have pain/sensitivity call your dentist office, though your oral surgeon should want to see you for a post-op appt to make sure everythings ok within a week of your extraction.
Reply:I'm no expert, but I had a similar experience. I had a bone graft in one of my front teeth, and got a "gum shave" at the same time. Sorry, but I can't remember the technical term for it - but it was basically a gum shave - trimming off some excess.
Anyway, after that my teeth in that area have gotten more sensitive.
You know what, as I'm writing this it just clicked that perhaps that makes sense.....but in any case, I can also testify that teeth are weird and react in odd ways to things. LOL

Sensitive teeth after wisdom tooth extraction?
Its very common for there to be sensitivity after extractions. Just make sure not to disturb where the extractions were done for at least 72 hours. Also it helps to rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1/2teaspoon salt in a glass of warm water) this should be done 3 to 4 times a day for 4 days. If you continue to have pain/sensitivity call your dentist office, though your oral surgeon should want to see you for a post-op appt to make sure everythings ok within a week of your extraction.

Sensitive teeth and teeth hurts at night?
my teeth always start to hurt when night comes , i got a filling done months ago and they have been sensetive ever since , they have been supper sensitive after the first filling but now they are not so bad but they are still sensitive .
Sensitive teeth and teeth hurts at night?
The filling could be too high for your bite and cause sensitivity or the filling was REALLY deep and it is more sensitive and will take more time to adjust. If the filling is too high, and you clench a lot, it would bruise the tooth/nerve causing the tooth to be really sensitive. Either way, call the dentist, if it is too high, the dentist will need to adjust it.
Reply:Could be a problem with your gums. Need to get back to the Dentist.
Reply:cavity
Reply:1. do not eat or drink too hot or too cold food and beverages.
2. get a toothpaste for sensitive teeth or brush without a paste.
3. use an extra-soft brush.
4. rinse with warm water when they hurt.

Whitening super sensitive teeth?
I have super sensitive teeth. I started using crest white strips and after 2 days my teeth started to hurt every time I ate or drank anything. I've quit using them but I still want whiter teeth. Is there any type of whitening system I can use that won't make my teeth more sensitive?
Whitening super sensitive teeth?
The same thing happened to me, my teeth were so sensitive that I couldn't even sleep because they kept aching, and I couldn't eat or drink anything hot or cold. So now I just use whitening toothpaste once a day and sensitive teeth toothpaste the other time during the day that I brush my teeth.

Sensitive teeth during pregnancy.?
I'm 6 weeks pregnant and have had sensitive teeth since conception. I just went to the dentist 3 months ago, so I know that I don't have any cavities. Am I going to have sensitive teeth throughout my pregnancy? Can I use sensodyne toothpaste during pregnancy?
Sensitive teeth during pregnancy.?
I would talk your OB and ask what you can take to help you get the calcium you need, they might put you on a prenatal that is higher than normal with calcium. Safely I can suggest lots of milk. The baby is probably taking all of your calcium and this can cause a mothers teeth to go down hill fast! I personally didn't have that when I was pregnant but I have talked with a lot of moms that had the same issue you are referring to.
Reply:Yes you can use sensodine, but make sure you take your prenatal vits. %26amp; maybe extra calcium (ask your OB) your baby will take the nutrition 1st, so your teeth %26amp; bones will pay the price if you do not get enough calcium
Reply:It is probably your gums, not your teeth. One of the earliest signs of pregnancy is swollen and irritated gums due to the change in hormones. Ask your dentist .
Reply:Check with your doc and your dentist. I lost so much density in my teeth during both my pregnancies that I had to get teeth pulled and I have to get a bunch fixed. Pregnancy can do wonders to your teeth.

Why do teeth become sensitive?
I had never had sensitive teeth. About a month ago, I started having sensitive teeth. It's one tooth at a time, but different teeth. It does not happen related to food, drinks or temperature. I'm not whitening my teeth either.
What could be the cause of this?
Why do teeth become sensitive?
Are you using plain toothpaste? If not try plain Crest or Colgate as some formulas have tartar control or whitening components that will cause some people sensitivity. If you are brushing 2 -3 times daily for 2 minutes and flossing daily you should be removing the ongoing plaque buildup pretty thouroughly. If you don't have plaque staying on the teeth then it isn't present to turn into hard tartar (which you can no longer brush and floss off) Also, use only a soft toothbrush or you risk brushing away the gum tissues and that will expose the root of the tooth causing sensitivity. My recommendation would be to try a sensitive (or Plain) tooth paste exclusively for a month and see how you feel!
Good luck -

Reply:from nerve endings that can sense pain.
Reply:Well enamel on teeth can get thinner over time depending on the cause and this causes the nerves inside your teeth to be more sensitive to hot or cold foods and liquids. So in essence the skin on your teeth is too thin.

Sensitive teeth after tooth extraction?
I had a back tooth extracted one week ago and I am having some problems with the other teeth surrounding the one that came out. They feel sensitive and sometimes painful.
Is this normal after tooth extraction?
Sensitive teeth after tooth extraction?
TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE GO BACK AND VISIT YOUR DENTIST FOR AN OPINION.
Reply:Hello, I am a Dental Assistant and I have heard this before, my suggestion would be to gargle with warm salt water, and if you can stand it peroxide as well it will help heal the tissue Ware the tooth was removed and you should make sure you floss between the other teeth it maybe food logged in them, it may bleed but it will heal with continued use (flossing). If you notice no change in another week, go back to your dentist and tell him your problem, it might be something else.

Can sensitive teeth toothpaste actually make teeth MORE sensitive?
I had a small sensitivity problem, so I switched to a sensitive teeth formula and it seems that my teeth are now more sensitive.
Can sensitive teeth toothpaste actually make teeth MORE sensitive?
Under normal circumstances, toothpaste for sensitive teeth should not make the teeth more sensitive. Perhaps there are other issues that your dentist could identify during your next checkup. In the meantime, try using a new toothbrush (a soft one) and don't over-brush or use too much pressure. You could try switching to a different toothpaste, too. I found that a less-expensive "sensitive" formula worked better than the more expensive brand.
Reply:it should help to desensitize teeth, brush in soft circles
you may be suffering from toothbrush abrasion due to incorrect brushing habits...
try using an electric toothbrush... do not use alot of pressure
Reply:Use sensitive toothpaste. Not whitening sensitive or whitening tartar control. That is an oxymoron! Just stick with sensodyne or plain sensitive toothpaste.
Agree with the other answer person that it could be gum recession (exposed roots) and toothbrush abrasion.
Stop drinking the soda and juice. you are ruining the enamel making it more sensitive.
Also go see your dentist and make sure they are not cavities!

Sensitive Teeth After Getting Cavities Filled?
I am 29 and just had my 1st cavities and got them filled.. the were on teeth right beside each other..
When I first had them filled my teeth were sensitive.. it got better but now (about 2 months later) I can't drink anything hot or cold, or eat on those 2 teeth..
I do not plan on using the same dentist again... I am not too happy.
Anyone know what this is? I am using sensitive toothpaste but it is too soon to see the benefits...

Sensitive Teeth After Getting Cavities Filled?
It is normal to have sensitivity when you have dental work done. If you are bitting too hard on your new fillings that can cause sensitivity. Go to a dentist and have them check the occlusion and maybe take a new x-ray to make sure they look okay. The dentist you had do your fillings would most likely redo your fillings for you or at least make sure they are okay at no charge. Good luck!
Reply:If it is persisting this long I would call your dentist or another dentist to check the filling, if it was not done correctly the filling could be not air tight which is a breeding ground for bacteria.
Reply:Don't blame the dentist, I think this is pretty normal. I've had tons of fillings done, and my teeth are very sensitive, especially to cold. Some of the fillings were done years ago and yep, it's still sensitive. I think it also depends on the type of fillings you received as well. Maybe you are right, and something is going on, but in all likelihood, it's just the normal reaction that most people experience after receiving fillings...especially the silver ones, and it's not likely to be much different if you go to a different dentist. I've had two different ones do fillings, and it's been the same with both. You will get used to it, and the sensitivy does decrease after some time...soon, you probably won't even notice it anymore. No worries....
Reply:it is normal for them to be sensitive for a few weeks, depending on how deep the fillings are.
The bite (occlusion) may need to be checked by a dentist. It was not necessarily the dentist, but it would be better if you went back to them because they will have everything on record and recheck you.
Good luck....
Reply:It's not unusual to have sensitive fillings for a while, but 2 months does seem pretty long. Sometimes, when the cavity goes quite deep, a dentist will put a base coating of a material (can't remember what it's called) to create a barrier between the pulp and the metal. Maybe this was not done.
You can have them checked, but to remove and re-do by another dentist will cost you. If it keeps up by April, I would definitely have it checked out tho.
Reply:Two months is too long, go to another dentist maybe the filling came out and air or food, drink is getting inside hitting the nerve.Try to use a straw to prevent infection and go get it checked out. Gods Blessings Be Unto You.
Reply:The decay might be deeper than what the dentist had predicted. You might need a root canal treatment if this pain has been around for 2 months.
Best option is to ask your dentist. Sometimes people with tooth coloured fillings experience more pain than the metal fillings.

Are sensitive teeth a pregnancy symptom?
Ever since 7DPO (I'm 12 DPO today, got a BFN this morning) I've had extremely sensitive teeth. (I don't normally have sensitive teeth.) I'm just wondering if anyone else experienced sensitive teeth before their BFP or during their pregnancy?
Are sensitive teeth a pregnancy symptom?
It's a common symptom because when pregnant you start loosing essencial vitamins and proteins needed for the newborn also the sensitivity on your teeth is because you also are losing calcium and calcium is an esencial element for your newborn to develop healthier bones.
Reply:yep along with bleeding gums.
Reply:not i
Reply:yes because the baby is using nutrients from your body which include calcium and it messes with your teeth.
Reply:If this is your only symptom, then no, probably not.
Reply:Yes! My gums bled almost everytime I brushed! It got extremely annoying, but my Dr. said it's very common. You can look it up online, and maybe try a toothpaste like sensodyne if they hurt.
Reply:absolutely! being w/ child can deplete calciun deposites, u should keep takin your pre nateuls, and add more calcium to ur diet. if it is bothering u enough u should talk to your o.b.g.y.n. i am a single dad and had a simular experience w/ babys mom. good luck!

Overly sensitive teeth?
i bought those crest premium whitening strips, and the first 2 days i used as directed, twice a day. the thrid day i used it only once and then my teeth were sensitive the rest of the day. i didnt use them for 2 days, then used one again yesterday morning, and my teeth have been so sensitive since. i know i know, stop using them. i'll just do one every 2 days or so since thats apparently all i can handle, but until then, what can i do to make my teeth not so sensitive. i mean, its even sore to breath thru my nose!
Overly sensitive teeth?
same experience with me. i also bought those whitening agents so that my teeth will lokk whiter coz my teeth are yellowish. but then, my teeth became sensitive! the label says "gentle for sensitive teeth and gums" but then i still experience those sensitivity.
%26gt;whitening agents really cause sensitivity to the teeth because of the ingredients that whitens our teeth it penetrates in our enamel (the hardest portion of the tooth) and it cause sensitivity because our nerves can feel it.
%26gt;use SENSODYNE toothpaste. it is effective for sensitive teeth. my dentist says that.... sensodyne toothpaste for sensitive teeth. now i don't have sensitive teeth. i can smile and eat foods that i want whether it's cold, hot or sweets. trust me.
Reply:Drink through a straw and switch to a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth.
I have bleached my teeth before and suffered through the two weeks, it took about a month for everything to feel better. good luck
Reply:You may have an allergy problem with the chemicals in the whitening strips. That sounds really bad if your nose is affected. You might want to start brushing your teeth with sensodine toothpaste.
Reply:I don't think there is a lot you can do except wait it out. Try taking alleve or ibuprofin. That would probably help a lot.
Reply:You must see your Dentist ASAP to resolve this problem. Please stop the "white strips" until you know it's OK to continue. SW RNP
Reply:u should try using a sensitive toothpaste like sensodyne. it develops a layer on the teeth to protect from sensitivity
Reply:I had the same experience. It is the peroxide in the whitening agent. It is hard on the enamel on your teeth and terrible on your gums.
I used Enamel On toothpaste...or Enamel Care it what it is now by Arm %26amp; Hammer.. . It helped greatly. However, my gums have never been the same - receeded terribly. Be careful and follow the instructions - do not rush the process!
Reply:Your best bet is to stop using the strips %26amp; purchase a toothpaste for sensitive teeth %26amp; see if that helps. If that doesn't help, may I recommend that you see your dentist?

Sensitive teeth after dental treatment?
Okay, I will admit, I've been bad in the past, not going to the dentist for my teeth. I went about 5 years without going. It wasn't because I'm scared of dentists or anything, I had just moved to a new place and didn't have a dentist, and didn't bother to find one. But after a while I started feeling guilty, so last May when I got a flier in the mail, I started going to that dentist for treatment. Because my teeth were so bad, I've been going once a month since then to get them all fixed. I have only one more treatment, and then I am done. I like my dentist, so I have no problem with her. It's just that every time, after I go to the dentist my teeth get real sensitive for a time. Most people as far as I know, once the anesthesia wears off, seem to be fine. Me, my teeth still feel different, odd, sensitive, etc. for anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks or so. But after that I hardly notice them anymore. Is this strange? Anything I can do about it?
Sensitive teeth after dental treatment?
what teeth are sensitive, all of them? if it is the fillings, that can happen. you may even need to get a medicated filling put in for a while. the first thing to check is your bite. if the bite is off, it can even cause a tooth to abcess if you keep hitting it, so it is important to have it checked. sometimes it is the brand of filling they put in, some cause more sensitivity. do not get whitening, because that can cause sensitivity. fillings usually calm down in a couple weeks to two months, but they should continue to be less sensitive. you may need a mouthguard because you may be grinding at night and not know it. they are cheap at walmart pharmacy.

Very sensitive teeth....?
For the last few months my teeth have been very sensitive to hot and cold. Recently my teeth have even been hurting when I eat anything sweet and when I brush my teeth. Two days ago I noticed that in one of my teeth near the gums there is a hole starting. What could have caused this... I brush my teeth every day and take good care of my mouth. If I go to the dentist is there something that they can do with the hole so that I dont lose that tooth? Is there something I can do to help the sensitivity of my teeth?
Very sensitive teeth....?
There are many things you can do about sensitive teeth. However I believe that your situation has progressed an you need immediate dental care. A hole could be a cavity or recession of your gums. If the hole is at the gum line or it appears that your gum has a bubble near this can be a sign of an abscessed tooth. Cold sensitivity can be normal, sensitivity to hot is not. Tooth Decay could also be a possibility.
Tips for sensitive teeth:
+Use Sensodyne toothpaste
-this toothpaste has a high fluoride concentration and will greatly reduce sensitivity
+Your dentist can give you a product called Flor-Opal which can be worn in trays this also can help with sensitivity.
+Remember to floss this is just as important as brushing.
+Have your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year.
I recommend that you go see a dentist for a consult. It is better to catch a problem sooner rather than later.
Reply:Some people's teeth are just very sensitive, it's as simple as that. You may want to cut back on the sweets and pop, because it sounds to me like you have thin enamal. Your dentist will be able to fix the tooth so long as the decay hasn't gotten all the way to the root yet. There is also toothpaste for sensitive people, crest makes one, and sensodyne is the other one, both can be found at your local drug store.
Reply:Try using sensitive teeth toothpaste - like Sensodyne.

Why are my teeth SO sensitive?
My teeth are too sensitive. I stay away from candy, and when I drink sugary sodas I drink through a straw.
When I do eat candy though, it will stick to my teeth, and I will have the WORST PAIN ever! To the point of crying! So, now - I doi not eat ANY candy!
Also, I cannot have anything too hot, or too cold - like a drink. My teeth again, will have intense pain.
I go to the dentist regularly, and I have no cavities!
Why are they?
Anything that can help? Do those "sensitive teeth" toothpastes work?
Why are my teeth SO sensitive?
No, the toothpaste does not work,. call your dentist, why you ask me, well little lady let me tell you why.
it is the nerves in your gums and under your teeth, if you cant drink hot or cold without pain, it is not the teeth, maam it is the nerves........
my niece had the same thing, went to the dentist, it was not the actual teeth, but the nerves, and he gave her antibiotics and some kind of gel to brush with, and 3 teeth had to come out, the one nerve was affecting 3 teeth.
so, I would call the dentist and see what he says now...

Reply:Some people just have sensitive teeth. I have sensitive teeth, and it's not a medical problem in my case.
I would discuss this with your Dentist the next time you are in.
There are tooth pastes for sensitive teeth - but none have ever worked for me. Try one, and see how it works. Ask your Dentist what he recommends.
Do you eat or drink a lot of acidic foods? If you do, it's quite possible they could be wearing down the enamel thus causing extra sensitivity.
Reply:your tooth has few layers of structure.the outer strongest layer is the enamel.the second layer is the dentine..and there are other layer such as cementum.the primary concern here is your dentine.hypersensitivity caused by exposed dentine..your dentine can be exposed if you drink acidic drinks a lot and causes erosion of your tooth
dentine can also be exposed if your gum recedes from its normal level.thus,your tooth will appear longer and exposed part of the root surfaces
dentine is porous and have lots of small holes where the nerves endings resides.when it is exposed,slight trigger from cold or hot etc will lead to pain
to relieve it,you should go to your dentist and check for the cause of your hypersenstivity.if it is due to receding of your gums,your dentist can placed some sort of protective layer on your tooth surface eg: Duraphat or Seal and Protect.this will help to reduce the symptom
and toothpaste for sensitive tooth also useful because it also provide protective layer on your tooth surfaces..but it takes time to be effective.just use it regularly
hope this will help
Reply:Personally Lucy, I think you're having Sinus trouble....Headaches (Your other question...) combined with Sensitive teeth can often be the sign of sinus pressure, even if you're not "feeling" the pressure in your face...I would go to your normal doctor and tell them what's going on, or try something like Claratin-D (Decongestant / Antihistamine) and see if that does the job.
Tis' the Season to be Sneezin!!!!!
Reply:I HAD the same problem but first I switched to Sensodyne then to any toothpaste that states for sensitive teeth because this problem is so common...and they all work. However, you will still need to avoid extreme cold, that's the only one that still gets me. Straws pretty much solve the problem.

When I do eat candy though, it will stick to my teeth, and I will have the WORST PAIN ever! To the point of crying! So, now - I doi not eat ANY candy!
Also, I cannot have anything too hot, or too cold - like a drink. My teeth again, will have intense pain.
I go to the dentist regularly, and I have no cavities!
Why are they?
Anything that can help? Do those "sensitive teeth" toothpastes work?
Why are my teeth SO sensitive?
No, the toothpaste does not work,. call your dentist, why you ask me, well little lady let me tell you why.
it is the nerves in your gums and under your teeth, if you cant drink hot or cold without pain, it is not the teeth, maam it is the nerves........
my niece had the same thing, went to the dentist, it was not the actual teeth, but the nerves, and he gave her antibiotics and some kind of gel to brush with, and 3 teeth had to come out, the one nerve was affecting 3 teeth.
so, I would call the dentist and see what he says now...
good luck

Sensitive teeth....please help me!?
I've always had semi-sensitive teeth while I was growing up. But since I've become and adult, it seems like they are getting MUCH worse. I'm sensitive to hot, cold, sweet and sour. I bit into an apple the other day and I thought I was going to lose it. The sweet juice really made my teeth ache. :-(
My dentist is aware - I have a bite splint that I wear at night b/c I grind my teeth. He has also given me a script for special perscription-only toothpaste for sensitive teeth that I use. I take good care of my teeth (brush 2x/day, floss, etc.). What else can I do to alleviate the pain?
Thank you!
Sensitive teeth....please help me!?
I used to have extremely sensitive teeth, so much so that it hurt to brush them. Getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist was a nightmare! I've changed a few things, and it has made all the difference. I still have sensitive teeth, but I can at least have my teeth cleaned without tears.
1. I use Sensodine's Pronamel, I even put it in a mouth tray and let it sit in my mouth for half hour. (try not to swallow)
2. DO NO WHITEN YOUR TEETH, this product can make your teeth even more sensitive.
3. Stop drinking pop, and acidic juices. The acid wears away at the enamel of your teeth. *Caffinated drinks like coffee and tea can also be hard on your enamel.
4. Sugar of any kind will wear away at the enamel as well, but let's be honest who gives up sugar entirely. Rinse your mouth with water, milk, or have a slice of cheese after sugary snacks. DO NOT brush your teeth directly after eating or drinking acid or sweet foods! The acid can act like an abrasive and wear away at your enamel as you're brushing.
5. Keep your fruit out of the fridge, and run it under warm water before eating.....at least you'll be able to eat it!
6. Get you daily intake of calcium! This is important for good strong healthy teeth.
7. Always use a soft toothbrush, and never brush your teeth hard.
Good Biting!
Reply:A mouthwash with fluoride is suppose to help with sensitive teeth that along with a sensitive teeth toothpaste.

Sensitive teeth caused by crest whitestrips? please help :)?
I've always had sensitive teeth (not awful, but occassionally with hot, cold, acidic food like apples, strawberries...) and I've just tried the whitestrips on my teeth....now my teeth are noticably sensitive all the time (I've only used the strips for a couple of days)....will this subside? and in the meantime, is there something I can use to ease the sensitivity? I bought a sensitive toothpaste but I don't know if it will be effective or interact in a bad way with whitening products? And, while I'm at it, doesn't the toothpaste that is for whitening and sensitive teeth cancel each other out? All answers appreciated thanks!!
Sensitive teeth caused by crest whitestrips? please help :)?
It is normal for your teeth to get sensitive from using bleaching material. If sensitivity happens stop using the white strips for a couple of days. Using fluoride helps with the sensitivity. You can get an over the counter fluoride rinse and use that daily. Make sure you read the directions. You have to rinse with it for 30 seconds or a minute and then you can't eat or drink for 30 minutes. Hope the sensitivity gets better!
Reply:Use the sensitive teeth toothpaste. It won't hurt anything. Limit eating things really hot or cold for the next few days.
Crest Whitestrips does this to a lot of people. Wait a week or until your teeth feel better to start using again. Then use once a day every other day. Some people can only use once a week or their teeth get too sensitive. It won't effect the work of the whitestrips, it just takes longer.
Reply:they take some enamel off of your teeth i think.
Reply:My mom had the same reaction.
Reply:The same thing happened to me.....
I used the 7 day strips and had to stop after 2 days, I waited a week then used them again for 2 days and waited another week...ect. ect.
I think next time I will just stick to my Colgate total Plus whitening.
Reply:Whitestripes work by removing some of the enamel on your teeth. That is why they are sensitive. They will not get better, but you can use sensodyne toothpaste to make sure they don't get worse, and brush after having coffee, tea, mustard, and red wine.
Reply:yes this will end just stop the whiting strips and whiten tooth paste. you should brush your teeth with tooth paste for sensitive teeth or arm and hammer baking soda with is a ugh taste, but will never hurt your teeth
Reply:White strips do not remove the enamel from your teeth!!! Your teeth have pores just like your skin. Your pores are just larger then normal (Nothing to be worried about)and by using sensodyne toothpaste, it shrinks the pores down. Try Sensodyne toothpaste and bleach every other day. The sensodyne takes a couple of weeks to work

Sensitive teeth......what is it?
my two front teeth are super sensitive to cold and hot things that i eat.
if i eat something cold then its like a shocking pain to my front teeth and if i eat that cold item long enough its like my teeth have to warm up before they stop hurting from it.
I have gone to the dentist on regular occasions and she cannot see anything wrong with them. she took x-rays and everything.
she thought a full dental cleaning would help but it didnt.
I have had the back of one of my front teeth worked on before but all this pain did not start until recently and that was years ago when they worked on those teeth.
what could it be?
and i was wondering do those tooth pastes that say they are for sensitive teeth really work?
any suggestions may help.
Sensitive teeth......what is it?
The toothpastes do work for me. Mine only became sensitive a few years ago, and I think it's just one of those little quirks people have to live with. Get the sensitive toothpaste, i'm sure you will see a difference!
