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!
