It is not your brush. If anything the electric brush will remove the plaque better than a regular toothbrush. Plaque makes teeth sensitive, so the more you remove the less sensitive the teeth will be. The best advice I can give you about sensitive teeth is: 1. Don't use any toothpaste with a tartar control formula or whitening products. They make teeth very sensitive. Use an original formula of your favorite brand. Paste or gel, either one. 2. Use something for sensitive teeth. Make sure the tartar control or whitening is not added. 3. You possibly clench or grind your teeth. This happens mostly at night while sleeping, but some do it during the day too. Wearing a night guard/bite splint type appliance at night will help keep your teeth from pushing into each other. I clench my teeth and I've used the whitening products and tartar control toothpaste in the past..Believe me this is a true fact. If you stop these products you will notice a lessening in your sensitivity within a week. I tell patients this everyday, and by the next cleaning appointment, there teeth are overall much less sensitive.
Reply:Some people just have sensitive teeth. Ther are certain kinds of toothpaste to help this that I think dull the pain throughout the day.
Reply:Try using Sensodyne toothpaste. It really helps. Do you whiten your teeth or use whitening toothpaste? Some whiteners can make your teeth sensitive.





Soda and fruit juices can also take a heavy toll on the teeth. If you use Sensodyne for more than a week and are still having trouble, I'd make an appointment with the dentist to see what's going on.





Good luck! :)
Reply:im the same way... i don't know exactly why it happens, but i do know there is a tooth paste that is made to fix it, i think its by crest.
Reply:It might be from chewing ice... I was told by a dentist that chewing ice may cause damage to your teeth over time. Or, you may have a cavity. Go to the dentist asap
Reply:I believe that the person that wrote the other comment on this wall is really rude!.. this site is for people looking for advice and maybe to find out real answers not to be offended by others... i had the same problem... but only with one tooth.. it hurt so bad to drink or eat anything hot or cold and anything with sugar hurt as well.. i went to my dentist and apparently my enamal was chipped off, they suggested using a mouth wash called fluorinse... it has floride in it... (what the denstists use)... it worked wonders on my teeth... and as well theres sensidine the tooth paste! good luck.. and as well... see your dentist...
Reply:I have sensative teeth, too. Don't let it stop you from having a good time. Buy the Sensodyn tooth past and use mouthwash. Also, evenknow it may hert, brush daily and floss.
Reply:there is a tooth desensitize kit you can buy at Walmart (It is by the floss section) works great. I had the same problem until I used it. (I think Crest makes it)
Reply:thats what happends to me.it is normal (i think or else you and i have a problem)you can also call you doctor and ask he/she.
Reply:When was the last time you saw a DDS? Could be a number of things from a cavity, to receding gums. Sensedyne can help if it is the receding tissue, but not for cavities. Also since you mentioned you were a ice chewer, that also can cause trauma to your teeth with the intense cold and cause nerve damage. See a DDS.
Reply:you probably just have sensitive teeth. they make sensitive toothpaste and medications to put on your teeth that stop the sensitivity for months.





your not a moron, your just clueless.
Reply:I also suffer from sensitive teeth. I don't know anything about an electric toothbrush being the cause of it, as I do not use one myself, but I know that some people tend to press a bit harder when using one. Make sure whatever toothbrush you use is soft... never medium or hard.


I would give your dentist a call and he can run a sensitivity test (basically pin pointing exactly which tooth or teeth is causing the problem). It could be you have an exposed nerve, receeding gumline, or a cavity. He may be able to give you a prescription-strength toothpaste to help ease the pain, ro you may need to have a root canal.


Not sure if you're a smoker, but that definitely contributes to sensitive teeth. Also, if you eat or drink a lot of coffee, tea, soda, or high-acidity foods (citrus foods/drinks), this can also elevate sensitivity.


Meanwhile, I highly recommend Sensodyne toothpaste or another sensitivity toothpaste--just make sure it contains potassium nitrateas the first listed ingredient. Also, use a mouthwash with fluoride, such as ACT.


I know it sucks, but you may have to steer clear from super cold and hot things until your dentist can help you out.


I am not personally an expert, but my two closest friends are dentists and I've gone to them many times for advice on my sensitive teeth. Hope this helps even a little bit, and best of luck to you!!
Reply:Stop chewing ice or anything hard cos that actually erodes the protective layer over your teeth. Avoid any food that is sour or preserved cos that also erodes that protective layer. You also could be brushing your teeth too hard or the wrong way so that your gums could have receded, exposing the root of your teeth. Go see a dentist and have those exposed areas patch up. Change your toothpaste to Sensodyne - use the pink coloured one for the first 6 mths and then change to the green coloured one. All these worked for me but you have to be v disciplined. We only have 1 set of teeth so start taking proper care of it now. Otherwise, if the situation gets too bad, you can't save your teeth and might have to wear dentures! I am not joking!
