What can i do for sensitive teeth?

ever since visiting dentist a few months ago my teeth have been ultra sensitive to hot and cold. getting fed up of having to eat all my food at body temperature. using sensodine toothpaste, can i do anything else to make them less sensitive?

What can i do for sensitive teeth?
I was a dental nurse for 7 years, and one of the dentists that I worked with had done a study on different toothpastes when she was at Uni. She discovered that Sensodyne was one of the most abraisive toothpastes out there! Which makes the sensitivity worse, especially if you stop using it. What she recommended was that people with sensitive teeth used a normal toothpaste, but then put a little sensitive toothpaste on the sensitive area like a cream, and leave it on overnight. The way sensitive toothpastes work is they contain a mineral salt that blocks the tiny pores in the tooth surface. After a while you may need to switch to another brand of sensitive toothpaste that contains a different mineral salt (they all contain different ones). As after a while it will stop having the same effect. All the dentists I worked with after her, also gave this advice.


Also, there are a couple of reasons why you may have sensitivity, your gums may have receded slightly. This can be because you have been brushing too hard so try using a softer brush and always brush in a circular motion. The other reason is if you don't brush well enough and the gum shrinks away from any plaque/tartar/bacteria on your teeth so make sure you brush thoroughly and floss :)


Hope that helps :)
Reply:Sensitive teeth are a real pain. It all depends on how sensitive they are, but generally speaking, pay them compliments a few times a day, don't focus on their bad points, and never raise your voice or they'll cry like babies.
Reply:Sensodyne has always worked for me. After brushing, rub some on the sensitive areas with your finger and leave it.
Reply:I had tried Sensodyne, but didn't have much luck with it. Then I switched to a brand called "Denquel", which worked fine, but the company was bought out by Crest. Now, Crest for Sensitive Teeth uses the same formulation that Denquel did, so I now use that, and it works for me.


Below is a link on Crest's site that will help.
