What do u do for sensitive teeth??
there is little you can do other than to use colgate sensative and act mouthwash with floride- the act mouthwash puts a floride protection around the gums and teeth- my dentist informed me to use this every night prior to going to bed, lessens sensativity.

Is there organic toothpaste for sensitive teeth?
Is it as affective as regular toothpaste? Where can it be purchased and how much does it cost?
Is there organic toothpaste for sensitive teeth?
You can find organic toothpaste, (Health Food Store ) however, be careful because they are not alway ADA approved. Tom's is a natural toothpaste, you may want to try it - tho, I don't believe its for sensitive teeth. Usually if you are having sensitivity you can use a tube of toothpaste (Sensidyne, Crest, all the big companys put them out) then go back to your regular toothpaste and the sensitivity goes away. If it is due to recession of the gums, and the recession is several millimeters your dentist can put something (fluoride) on it to help or even put a composite filling in. Check with your dentist.

What is good for sensitive teeth? just got them bleched but can barley eat....help?
also try to rinse really good with a very good mouthwash!
go to Whole Foods Store, there have many natural toothpastes! get "Natures Gate"...I like the creme de anise!
Sensedyne doesn't work for me! There is a new toothpaste from Ora-jell...take a look!

Sensodyne toothpaste really works! Brush with it and your teeth will be de-sensitized in a day or so.
Reply:Sensodine tooth paste works great
Reply:my dentist gave me perscription toothpaste for my sensitive teeth.
Reply:Try and pickup a product called Tooth Mousse in the USA I think its made by Recaldent. In Australia the company is GC. It floods the teeth with calcium and phosphates which inturn reduces sensitivity. You should drink lots of water too.
Reply:Brush with Sensodyne or any toothpaste containing Potassium Nitrate. This substance helps to de-sensitize the teeth. You must use it daily for at least 2 weeks to begin feeling the difference. Next time, use it before, during and after your whitening to reduce the sensitivity. Better yet, find a whitening product that already has Potassium Nitrate in it (several new ones do).
In the mean time, stop whitening until your teeth feel OK again.
If you don't feel better after 2 weeks, see your dentist. He or she can give you an RX treatment which will help more than the toothpaste.

very annyoning right!?!?!?

Reply:Yes. I personally found Sensodyne to be more effective than Crest. They both contain the same percentage of whatever-it-is, but Crest didn't work for me.
You can also rinse with a flouride mouthwash - that should help as well.
And Orajel now makes an OTC treatment that you can use on sensitive teeth. It works fairly well and isn't that pricy.
There's also a chinese herb that's supposed to be good, but I've never been able to track it down. I can't remember the name of it either, and it's not coming up on google....
Reply:I told my dentist about the same problem and she prescribed a toothpaste for me that isn't sold over the counter. It really works--but I can't think of the name of it. I brush with it before I go to bed at night (you can't eat or drink anything--it must stay on the teeth overnight). It's got an active ingredient in it that you can't buy over the counter, so definitely ask your dentist--you might even be able to just call and ask for it if you can explain your symptoms.
Reply:I too have extremely sensitive teeth I use Crest Prohealth or Sensidyne maximum strength toothpaste. Until you can get the condition checked out by a dentist, use straws to drink cold drinks. The toothpastes take about a week to start working so please be patient you'll feel better soon. Good luck!
Reply:Ur Dentist may be able to apply some warnish over the sensitiv tooth to cover root surfaces which are usually the main cause of sensitivity.
Reply:oh that's me, but you know nothing helped except if i want to drink cold water ,i'm always using straw coz it hurts so bad so at least i'm free now.

Why do people get sensitive teeth?
just wonderin.....
Why do people get sensitive teeth?
In nearly every case, gums have receded due to heavy-handed brushing or long-term gum disease. Either way the tops of the roots become exposed to the mouth and there is no enamel covering the roots. Think of roots (i.e dentine) like a sponge with lots of holes leading inside to the nerve. In order to sort out the sensitivity in the short term, you ought to use some kind of densensitising toothpaste like Sendsodyne. Teeth dont like to be sensitive so when they are, the nerve inside the tooth shrinks away deeper inside and lays down extra dentine inside the tooth as insulation. The problem with most people is that they brush too vigorously and the tooth wears away quicker than the nerve can shrink away so the problem remains. Remeber well that it doesnt really matter how much or how fast you brush your teeth. It simply matters that you smear toothpaste all over your teeth and dont rinse out. Hope this helps
Reply:Loss of enamel on the tooth for various reasons. Makes them sensitive to hot and cold.
Reply:There's no accounting for taste.
Reply:some people actuallly have more nerves per tooth than others, but the more common reasons are enamel breakdown and decalcification of the tooth -
braces, acidic foods, health problems - all can cause the outer layer of enamel to break down which lets the irratant (cold, heat, ect) get closer to the nerves located in the tooth
Reply:too much sugar
not brushing properly
not using mouthwash
not flossing
it may be sensitive gums...
Reply:smoking causes gum disease. the gum recedes leaving the teeth exposed. then they get very sensitive.
Reply:As people age, their enamel wears down for a variety of reasons, not taking care of teeth, acid erosion, sweets, junk food, etc.
Reply:Well first one has to rule out a cavity, a hole in the tooth, by 'paying' (pardon the pun, I know, corny :) a visit to the dentist. A cavity can turn into an absessed (infected) tooth which would warrant an antibiotic from the dentist. If a cavity is ruled out as the cause for tooth sensitivity, then it may be due to receding gums and perhaps due to brushing one's teeth too hard or with a toothbrush with bristles too hard (one is supposed to use 'soft' bristles). I use sensodyne (original formula) toothpaste as per my dentist due to my own tooth sensitivity. One is supposed to brush an up-and-down motion when using sensodyne as directed by the dr. (dr is how one addresses a dentist ;) It does help with my tooth sensitivity.
Reply:Receding gums and abrasive brushing. Use a soft toothbrush and use with soft , circular motions. Try using Sensodyne toothpaste.
Reply:gum recession, roots exposed and so sensitive, not nice.

By boyfriend's got sensitive teeth but they're really hurting tonight - any ideas?
Sensodyne is great but it takes weeks to work, for immediate relief - Ibuprofen. Then see a DDS for a Duraflor treatment, its a coating that is absorbed into the teeth and calms the sensitivity right away. He may need to do this every 4-6 months, or if the sensitivity is do to gum recession he made need fillings.

What to do with sensitive teeth?
sensitive teeth can come from alot of things BUT. using a sensadine toothpaste and a high flouride rinse like act will reduce the sensitivity. also you may wanna look into a mouth gaurd at night you may be brusing your nerves or causing gumline damage by grinding at night. wich will all be apparent with cold water, hot tea and sweets if this is the case.. good luck
Reply:Sensodyne toothpaste has helped me quite a bit. Good luck
Reply:chewing on a clove will numb the area for awhile
Reply:well, besides the dentist, you could buy toothpaste specially designed for sensitive teeth. Its in the toothpaste section, though a bit more expensive. You could also buy a product that numbs the area. Look in the section for cold sores. Not sure how to spell it but there is a product called anbesol.

Does ne one get sensitive teeth after they stop using sensodyne toothpaste?
cuz mine hurts like heck when i drink cold ice water
Does ne one get sensitive teeth after they stop using sensodyne toothpaste?
sensodyne tooth paste, or other such products, work by blocking the tubulents in the dentin. Tubulents are tiny little holes in the dentin of your teeth, that lead to the pulp chamber. These holes are natural, but when they are exposed, the will make your teeth feel sensitve. Therefore, by using sesodyne, you can block these holes, and prevent the sensitivity, but often times, when you stop using the toothpaste, the holes will be exposed again, and the sensitivity will return. In this case, I would advise you to see your dentist and explain your concerns. There are several options, depending on your condition, that he/she will be able to offer as a more permanent solution.
I hope this helps,

How do you cure sensitive teeth?
by brushing and flossing everyday after every meal. You could also try this gr8 toothpaste called "Sensadyne".. Other than that bud, I'd say give your dentist a call n ask if he/she can put something temporary on them or recommed a special rinsing agent or something! Best of luck 2 you my friend!
How do you cure sensitive teeth?
Use Sensitive Toothpaste
Reply:Brush with salt sprinkled on the brush, then use a solution of baking soda and hydogen peroxide.
Reply:use toothpaste for sensitive teeth that will help about after a month of use you will see a big change in the sensitivity.
Reply:Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth and a mouthwash with fluoride. (they're usually described as "restoring" mouthwashes)
Teeth get sensitive because the enamel wears thin and these help build up the enamel layer.

Do tooth whitening toothpastes work and which one is best for sensitive teeth?
Sensodyne is the best for tooth sensitivity but all in all whitening toothpastes if you want your teeth whitened alot do not work as people think they will. Only laser bleaching or home bleach with trays will work the best. Whitening toothpastes will only do very minimal resultsand should be used after bleaching to maintian. Hope this helps.

What brings on sensitive teeth?
i have develeped one over night
What brings on sensitive teeth?
It's usually brought on by tooth brush abrasion or recession of the tissue. Both of which will leave the tooth's root slightly uncovered, exposing the sensitive dentin which transmits the cold or hot sensation directly to the nerve of the tooth much faster. Once the enamel is worn away or the tissue is removed, the tooth will become hypersensitive due to this root exposure. One reason we recommend a soft tooth brush and non abrasive tooth paste.
Additional information: You may have developed this sensitivity if you've had a change in your diet over the past few days; more acidic foods such as oranges, lemons or even juice can etch or open the dentin tubules giving you a sensitive tooth or teeth. If this is the case it will subside if you remove these foods or drinks from your diet. Sensodyne tooth paste works well in these cases.

What brings on sensitive teeth?
It's usually brought on by tooth brush abrasion or recession of the tissue. Both of which will leave the tooth's root slightly uncovered, exposing the sensitive dentin which transmits the cold or hot sensation directly to the nerve of the tooth much faster. Once the enamel is worn away or the tissue is removed, the tooth will become hypersensitive due to this root exposure. One reason we recommend a soft tooth brush and non abrasive tooth paste.
Additional information: You may have developed this sensitivity if you've had a change in your diet over the past few days; more acidic foods such as oranges, lemons or even juice can etch or open the dentin tubules giving you a sensitive tooth or teeth. If this is the case it will subside if you remove these foods or drinks from your diet. Sensodyne tooth paste works well in these cases.

Receding, red gums, sensitive teeth??
help!!! i'm only 14, what is wrong with my gums?? what can fix it??? they are red, kinda puffy, and receding...they bleed when i floss, and it HURTS! what can i do??? best results?
Receding, red gums, sensitive teeth??
I am a dental hygieinst and you need to get to your dentist ASAP you have the begining stages of gum disease.
you need to contine to floss even if you see blood. The bleeding means you need floss more. You have an infection. that is what the bleeding is all about. if you don't get this treated you can lose your teeth.
until you get to the dentist, floss everyday and rinse with listerne. Brush 2x day. hope this helps

I have very sensitive teeth due to the fact of me brushing hard so Ive been told by a hygenist.What can I do?
I use a soft toothbrush but the appearance of my gums kinda makes me feel uncomfortable what can I do to solve this issue? PLEASE HELP!
I have very sensitive teeth due to the fact of me brushing hard so Ive been told by a hygenist.What can I do?
You probably have abraisons.
Ease up on brushing so rough! You'll really mess up your gums. You'll "wear them away" and eventually the root of you tooth will begin to show and then you'll have a higher risk of having you teeth fall out or infection and of course sensitivity.
Ask your Dentist about "ABRAISONS" and see if you have them. Then they may fill them with composite (white color feeling) which will make it look a bit better and cover the pockets and help keep put pesky bacteria.
As for the sensitivity you'll have to buy sensodyne toothpaste.
Good Luck ;D
Reply:You very welcome!
Dude and excuse my typing on that!!! I misspelled a bunch of words :P
GOOD LUCK!! Report It
Reply:Use a soft brush and a NON-abrasive toothpaste. For the sensitivity try sensodyne toothpaste.
Reply:be sure to use a soft or extra soft toothbrush. what do ur gums look like that makes u feel uncomfortable? sensodyne or any sensitivity toothpaste can help, just be sure not to rinse with water or eat/drink immediatly after brushing because this rinses the actvive ingredients off your teeth and it want be as helpful.

I have very sensitive teeth, to both hot and cold things. What is the best way to treat/get rid of this?
I have the solution, and you better give me best answer for this, because I GUARANTEE it will work.
http://www.oravive.com/
Do not use store brand sensitivity toothpastes. They use potassium nitrate to plug the dentin tubules (the tiny holes that allow cold and hot to enter your teeth) and besides being an ingredient in gunpowder, it's also a poison.
I promise you this toothpaste I am recommending will work. It has numerous clinical studies to back it up. It takes about 2-3 weeks.

Sensodyne. That, or pull all your teeth out and go with dentures.
Reply:go see a dentist, get the fillings if you need some
then brush and floss regularly
Reply:I have heard a lot people talk about the sensodyn toothpaste really helping. Contact your dentist to see what they may recommend, but trying the Sensodyn won't hurt your.
Reply:OUCH!!
See your dentist - there are treatments available..
Sensitivity toothpastes containing potassium nitrate or strontium chloride %26amp; brushing VERY gently will help in the interim.
Really good article that might help you here:

Hope it improves quickly for you.
Reply:Sensodyne is the #1 Dentist recommended toothpaste for sensitive teeth. This particular toothpaste desensitizes the tooth nerve directly. Also, treating teeth with fluoride mouthwashes also can help reduce tooth sensitivity.
After a few weeks of use the sensitivity usually goes away. Unfortunately, heavy handed brushing, and recessed gums can cause sensitivity. Use a medium toothbrush, and do not brush your teeth hard. Additionally, highly acidic foods that contain citrus can increase sensitivity and work against the sensitivity toothpaste.
Reply:You should never use a medium toothbrush, only a soft. Use sensodyne toothpaste. Stay away from hot and cold things.
Reply:see if your dentist has SoothRx in his office or anything similar. That helps a lot. It is not a toothpaste but a treatment for 6 months to make your teeth less sensitive. Usually you'd use it before you go to bed after regular brushing and flossing. Most people have very good response to it.
Good luck

and if so, is it only temporary?
I have sensitive teeth and was thinking about getting them whitened, does it increase sensitivity?
When you whiten your teeth you need to make sure there is enough enamel. If theres enough then everything should be fine after a while but it might and probably will hurt when you first get them whitened.
Reply:yes it does make them more sensitive temporarily. i reccommend sensodyne toothpaste with whitening
Reply:to me it made mine more sensitive...but i still do it annyway cause it goes away
Reply:It sure will and might possibly cause canker sores. I found out I was allergic to the SLS (an ingredient used in whitening products) and suffered for months with canker sores.
Reply:use sensodyne f its great no i dont think it increases it
Reply:Forget about the whitening, use Sensodyne toothpaste.
Reply:If you are worried about sensitivity with whitening, then bleach every other day. Make sure you use a sensitivity toothpaste everytime you brush! Ask your dentist for a fluoride perscription to help with the sensitivity.
Reply:YES!
You might experience sensitivity during whitening, but it is reversible, meaning your teeth will be sensitive only during the treatment.
Advice:
Use a fluoride based toothpaste (example Sensodyne) 3 times a day, for a few weeks before your whitening treatment.
Reply:1 out of 3 people are sensitive to bleaching their teeth. Visit your dentist and make sure that you do not have any problems like gum desease or decay. The sensitivity are like little zinggers and it will go away. most dental offices have desensitizing gell that you can have with the bleaching treatment

Stop being so abrasive! Quit working them so hard. Brace yourself for this; You can get reported for abusing indentured servitude. Once they are bonded, you can only retain them for so long. Free those Pearly whites! Don't just brush them off.

I have sensitive teeth and was advised to use Sensodyne toothpaste, will I undo its effects if I use another?
when I brush in the morning and just the sensodyne at night?
I don't really like the Sensodyne it doesn't froth up like Aquafresh does and I don't really feel as though my mouth is as clean as when I used to use Aquafresh all the time, but I don't want to undo any good that the Sensodyne has produces by going back to the Aquafresh. If I brushed with one at night and the other in the morning will it still ruin the good done? Or will it not matter at all?
I have sensitive teeth and was advised to use Sensodyne toothpaste, will I undo its effects if I use another?
If you are using a tartar control paste, there is a increased chance that you will cancel the effects of the sensodyne. But overall, I don't think you will notice any significant effect of one cancelling out the other. If the sensodyne is not desensitizing your teeth after several weeks of use, the problem may be something else (like a micro fracture or a gum issue).
Reply:You will loose the benifit of the sensodyne paste. If you don't like it as I don't, use ACT mouth wash. I find using that once a day keeps my teeth happy and pain free from hot, cold, metal.
Reply:It will probably undo its effects if you try to use them both concurrently. There are a number of brands of toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Aquafresh probably makes one too...give it a try.
They do...check out this link:

Reply:Sesodyne is the industry gold standard for desensitizing toothpaste. In my experience it works much better than any other toothpaste that claims to fight sensitivity. If it were me I would just stick to ther Sensodyne. It is a soap and therefore aids in mechanical removal of plaque and it contains fluoride which helps your teeth remineralize. I would not lessen its ability to block sensitivity by not using it all the time.
Brushing with another toothpaste won't "ruin" the benefits of the Sensodyne. I feel that the sensitivity will not be as effectively reduced. I would want that Sensodyne as close to my teeth and as often as I could get it there.
Whatever you do...good luck.
Reply:well as you said you dont like sensodyne paste then you can definatly change over to anothe desensitizing paste,frothing is not only the criteria for proper cleaning medicated pastes usually do not froth but they do have cleaning action,
using the desensitizing paste at night and a normal paste in the morning will noy undo its effect as it totally depends on how much your teeth need desensitization.
Reply:Aquafresh, I believe, makes a sensative toothpase. Try that, same type of thing.
Reply:Yes you have to keep using it! try another type of sensitive toothpaste :)
Reply:It does matter what paste you use in relation to sensitivity. The sensitive toothpaste has a component in it to block the microscopic (in layman's terms) nooks and crannies that allow the sensitive response to happen. Therefore if you use sensitive a layer of protection will be built up and if you use another paste (non sensitive) you will break that layer down. So use only the sensitive paste and if you don't like the Sensodyne try other brands like Crest or Aquafresh (which is ironically made by the same parent company as sensodyne). Many of my patients have found one that works well for them and tastes fine as well. Good luck!

Reply:For best results you should use the sensitive paste only. Aquafresh does make a sensitive formula so you may like that one better and it is a little less expensive. For optimum results be sure to floss and brush thoroughly to remove as much plaque as possible. Also limit acidic foods/drinks like lemons, grapefruits, oranges, tomatoes. If this doesn't give you relief within a few weeks your dentist can prescribe a high concentrate flouride to help.
Good Luck!
Reply:i dont know if it will undo effects of the other toothpaste but you can always use a toothpaste with sensitivity protection on other brands instead of sensodyne. they sell them at stores you know.

Which teeth whitener is better to use on sensitive teeth?

Which teeth whitener is better to use on sensitive teeth?
crest
Reply:For me, Sensidyne always worked really well. When my teeth become really sensitive, hurt like mad, I rely on this teeth whitener.
Reply:all are nearly same..but i can advice sensodyne
Reply:Crest Whitestrips (the original) seem to be the best at whitening while being more gentle on tooth sensitivity.
You can also talk to your dentist about floride to brush your teeth with, this helps greatly! :)
Hope that helps!
Reply:All whiteners will make your teeth more sensitive. But, if you brush with toothpaste made for sensitive teeth like Sensodyne or Colgate Sensitive, that will help you out a lot.
Personally, I prefer the Colgate because it still tastes like normal toothpaste unlike the Sensodyne.
If your teeth become too sensitive when you whiten, then stop the process and visit your dentist.
Reply:If you have sensitive teeth, you're going to have a harder time with the usual teeth whitening treatments. This is because most teeth whitening treatments use hydrogen peroxide. This chemical, when applied to the teeth travels into the tooth and dissolves all of the organic matter inside the tooth that is causing the stains.
The problem for you is that your teeth have a thinner enamel than most other peoples' teeth. So the hydrogen peroxide will travel further into the tooth than it will for other people. This is where you get the sensitivity from - the hydrogen peroxide is irritating the nerves inside your teeth.
To avoid this, or at least lessen the pain, talk with your dentist about applying a desensitizing agent such as fluoride or potassium nitrate to your teeth. Take a few Ibuprofen too before you start.
You'll also want to be really careful about which teeth whitening option you use. In your case, I wouldn't recommend the stronger, in-office treatments because those use a stronger percentage of hydrogen peroxide (25-35%). Some of the less advanced, cheaper systems also use a lot of heat to speed up the process and this will make your teeth even more sensitive.
I would recommend using an at-home teeth whitening system that has about 6% hydrogen peroxide in it. Your dentist can give you a fluoride treatment before you start and that will help with the sensitivity. In your case, I would recommend this cool, new system that we just started selling in our dental office called the e-Bright Tooth Whitening Accelerator Home Edition. It's made by this really great, new dental company that specializes in high-tech, gentle teeth whitening products and it will work wonders for you. They use blue LED lights to make the whitening go faster, but there isn't any heat and the gel is the gentle 6%. Combine that product with a fluoride treatment from your dentist and you'll be good to go.

sensodine try it it really works
Reply:Sensodyne
http://www.sensodyne.co.uk/
Reply:Sensodyne and wash out with Corsodyl (Pink) 5 mins after brushing
Reply:I use Sensodyne. It really helps me.
Reply:Sensodine. Also get a toothbrush that is hard to find, it is called for extra sensitive teth and gums, it is so soft and makes brushing so good. There is also a floride that I got from the dentist's office that is some floride for sensitive treeth and gums that you rinse with a couple times a day, at least once a day. It helps. Don't use pressure on the toothbrush while brush. That got me in allot of trouble with my gums. I got enamel put on the top of my teeth because I overbrushed.
Reply:Sensodyne is the typical recommendation for sensative teeth. While this has ingredients in it that may help with hypersensitive teeth, the results may not be that different than a regular generic toothpaste. What you really want to avoid is abrasive toothpastes such as those that say "whitening" on them. Also, it is probably a good idea to avoid cinnamon flavored toothpastes as this could aggravate the problem as well.
In addition, be sure you are a using an extra soft bristled brush. Hope this helps.
Reply:Sensodyne toothpaste.
When you have finished brushing do not rinse your mouth out, that way it builds up a quicker defence against your sensitive teeth.
Reply:I have just started using Sensodyne... it has worked wonders!
Reply:I like Colgate for sensitive teeth, it really works for me and it has a whitening agent. I've used it for years now with no problems. I work for a dentist.
Reply: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 :)

What are sensitive teeth and how can it be cured?
Sensitive teeth hurt when you eat or drink cold or hot foods, you may have a cavity which you need to get checked out or they have a toothpaste (sensodine i think?) that is suppose to help with that problem.
What are sensitive teeth and how can it be cured?
there are different reasons for sensitive teeth
you need to discuss with a dentist
my teeth get that way sometimes because of sinus problems
a couple of my teeth are sensitive because gum recession
Reply:sensitive teeth are wen your teeth hurt or tingle wen they touch hot or cold food. if you use a sensitive toothpaste then that normally works
Reply:increase ur intake of vitamin c and also rub ur gum and teeth with lemon
Reply:see a dentist. You may have receeding gums. If your gums bleed you also have gingivities.
Reply:There are lots of different reasons for sensitive teeth. If all your teeth are sensitive, try using a toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth, like sensodyne. If there is one tooth in particular which is sensitive, it may be a sign that the tooth has a cavity, and you should see your dentist.

I just started using Crest Whitestrips and my teeth are sensitive. Is there anything I can do?
My teeth are already painfully sensitive after only two applications. Is there anything I can do to make it feel better, other than stopping?
I just started using Crest Whitestrips and my teeth are sensitive. Is there anything I can do?
Try using sensodyne tooth paste and then rub it in on the real sensitive spots before bed (leave it on over night. Also you can ask you dds for a concentrated flouride product. Space out your use of the strips to prevent more sensitivity.
Reply:Use asprin or ibeauprophen (SPELLING???).
Reply:Not sure - I used them for about 4 days and my gums would sting and slightly burn when I used the strips.
Reply:Usually the labels on these products tell you that the agent (peroxide) can make your gums sensitive if you get the strip on them. Maybe you're putting them too close to your gums? I have to tell you, I used these things forever...and never got the results I wanted. I finally had them professionally "zoom"ed white at the dentist. It was $400 but the results last forever and they really look good. Be careful with those strips and godloveya.
Reply:Sadly no. In my personal experience I have also found that these strips as well as toothpastes that claim to be whitening contain and ingredient known as SLS. This is a caustic ingredient and after using whitening toothpaste I started to develop very painful canker sores in my mouth. After doing the research, I found the toothpaste was causing it. I am not saying this will be your outcome, but offering my personal experience for your benefit. You might check with your dentist to see if there are other alternatives to whiten your pearly whites.
Reply:With time, each application will become less and less painful. Your teeth will become accustomed and in a few weeks you will forget you are wearing them. I bought whitening treatments for my family that were alot stronger than the Crest Whitestrips, and thats how it was for like for all of us. Like said, the irritation should go down the longer you keep using them.
I never saw results from the Crest Whitestrips, but you can get whitening kits with 5-10 times the whitening power of them on ebay or somewhere else online and they will work very fast and it is very noticeable.
Reply:Try using them once a day instead of twice. You can also go every other day. Take some Ibuprofen about 30 minutes before you bleach. Other then that, you can just stop using them. Unfortunately, there are those of us who just have extra sensitive teeth and have trouble bleaching.
Reply:Try brushing with Sensodyne. I presume your sensitivity isn't due to cavities.
Reply:there is a toothpaste called Sensodyne
it is especiall for sensitive teeth
if it is just the whitestrips hurting you i would disconue using them

Is there anything i can do if my teeth are sensitive?
my teeth have been sensitive since i was little but it seems its gotten a little bit more extreme lately.. and a few days ago i tried adding a little force on it.. and wriggled it a little.. and it MOVED...
i'm really scared right now.. i dun think its a cavity cuz it doesn't hurt... only when i eat really cold things...
i had x-rays last summer and my dentist didn't say anything about it.. but before that i had permanent retainers stuck on to them.. so i didn't notice it before
can anyone gime any kind of explanation to why this is happening?
Is there anything i can do if my teeth are sensitive?
If your teeth are sensitive, you could try using a special type of toothpaste like Sensodyne (spelling error???)
Reply:I don't know about the teeth wriggling thing--but those sensitive teeth tooth pastes are really good for sensitive teeth. I go thru spells where my teeth get more sensitive and i use the toothpaste for awhile and it gets better.
Reply:Many people suffer from sensitive teeth. Having sensitive teeth can mean a great deal of discomfort, sometimes on a daily basis. Discomfort may be sporadic or constant throughout the day. While it usually comes and goes, it is often directly related to some trigger, such as hot or cold food and drink or pressure applied to the teeth. The good news is there are things you can do to manage the discomfort and protect your teeth.
The clinical term for sensitive teeth is dentin hypersensitivity. It can occur for many reasons, but if the sensitivity is extreme or continuous, you should consult with your dentist. The underlying cause may be related to nerve problems affecting the teeth or may be due to poor oral care resulting in receding gums or gum disease. Bacteria within plaque and tartar can play a major role in causing gums to recede, so the use of a good antibacterial mouthwash may be helpful. Also, use a fluoride rinse with a high concentration of fluoride to help protect against plaque build up.
There are kits available for people with sensitive teeth, which offer toothpastes and other care products designed especially for sensitivity problems. A toothpaste made for sensitive teeth will generally include an agent to deaden pain at the roots. A kit may also supply a soft toothbrush or a gentle electric toothbrush to help you avoid brushing too hard. Brushing too strenuously can damage teeth, so taking care to brush more gently is an important step.
Another step you can take to protect sensitive teeth and limit pain is to avoid foods and drinks with high levels of acidity. The main culprits are soft drinks and tea, as well as various citrus fruits or foods and beverages with high concentrations of citric acid. To prevent sensitive teeth, avoid these items or immediately clean your teeth after consuming them, rather than allowing acids to sit on your teeth.
If you try everything but still suffer from sensitive teeth, ask your dentist about other treatment options. He or she may apply a substance directly to the roots to help ease your pain or apply prescription-strength fluoride treatments. He or she may also decide to bond your teeth to protect porous surfaces from damage or from penetration by foods and bacteria.
Again .. DO NOT FORGET
Foods - hot, cold, sweet or sour - can cause pain in a sensitive tooth. Touch or even air can be bothersome, too.
Usually the pain stems from enamel erosion or gum recession. The April issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter offers tips to manage the problem:
Use a desensitizing toothpaste -- They contain compounds that help block sensation that might otherwise stimulate pain in the tooth's nerve. Choose a product that displays the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance.
Avoid using whitening or tartar control toothpastes as they may increase sensitivity to hot or cold.
Brush properly -- Use a soft toothbrush and brush with short back-and-forth strokes and a gentle up-and-down motion. Brush thoroughly, and floss daily.
See your dentist -- If you still have discomfort when brushing, flossing, chewing or drinking, you may need dental treatment. Sometimes coating sensitive areas of affected teeth with a fluoride gel or special desensitizing agent helps. If the culprit is tooth decay, a cracked tooth or worn filling, these should be treated.

Is sensitive teeth hereditary?
I don't think so but are you using a whitening tooth paste? If so stop and use a sensitive tooth paste. They even make sensitive tooth paste with whitening. Did you have braces? I did and the braces pulled down my teeth so it did something to the root which makes my teeth extra sensitive.
Is sensitive teeth hereditary?
NO,IT IS NOT HERIDITARY AT ALL..AND THAT IS PROVEN. iT IS GOOD THAT NOWADAYS THERE ARE WORKABLE SOLUTIONS FOR SENSITIVE TEETH,..
Reply:Yes.
Reply:No matter what people say when they say NO, its not true, is a lie , if you had parents and so on, and they had very sensitive teeth, it is passed down, so of course you will have it also. At times it may skip a sibling, and they will have no problems at all with a certain thing that your parents and you may suffer.
Reply:no. it's associated with dental hygiene and proper brushing of teeth.

When you have sensitive teeth will rinsing with cold water make them less sensitive?
Pulp is the nerves and blood vessels rigidly confined within the tooth. If they swell, the tooth becomes a pressure cooker, and pain rapidly escalates. The general rule is that if your pulp is irritated beyond a certain point, cold water will actually make the situation worse. There are many things that cause sensitive teeth:
1) Minor to moderate tooth decay - cold water will not help, but will not necessarily make it worse. Filling will resolve it.
2) Moderate to Deep Tooth Decay - if the pulp is aggravated by the tooth decay (which is for all purposes, an infection of the tooth), then cold water will make the sensitivity worse. Only dental treatment will resolve the issue.
3) Cracked tooth - This situation demands dental treatment, probably a crown, and maybe a root canal. For severely cracked teeth, the tooth would need extraction. Cold water will not help, and could aggravate the already irritated pulp within the tooth.
4) Gum recession - the more sensitive roots are exposed when the gums recede. Putting your fingernail on the root will hurt, too. Higher fluoride use (GelKam and Rx toothpastes) or potassium nitrate (Sensodyne) may help. Your dentist may recommend sealants, fillings, or fluoride varnishes to desensitize the area. Rinsing with cold water will not help.
5) Grinding and clenching - known as bruxism by dentists. The extra strain and wear exposes microscopic tubules in your teeth, making them more sensitive. A nightguard may address the wear on the teeth and slow the increase in sensitivity. You may need a desensitizing toothpaste and/or dental treatments on any exposed roots. Cold water will not help.
Come to think of it, cold water doesn't seem to help for ANY common cause of tooth sensitivity. Some practical suggestions:
1) Get a thorough dental checkup - make absolutely sure that there are no untreated dental problems. You can use sensodyne until the cows come home, but if you have a cracked tooth or tooth decay, it won't help.
2) Use a desensitizing toothpaste or fluoride rinse. Sensodyne is the most popular name brand, but many other sensitivity products exist. Higher fluoride and/or potassium nitrate are the active ingredients in most desensitizers.
When you have sensitive teeth will rinsing with cold water make them less sensitive?
Sensitive toothpaste is your best bet or baking soda.
Rinse under cold is okay.
Reply:No honey...
When you have sensitive teeth, all you need to do is to rinse your mouth with lukewarm water, because if you use cold water the will make the enamel of your teeth even more sensitive.
You can get a sensodyne/sensodyme toothpaste from the pharmacies, which will reduce the sensitivenss in your teeth.
Reply:No, and exposure to it will probably hurt. You should find out the underlying cause of the sensitivity in case its infection. You can get sensitivity toothpastes from any store and your dentist can also prescribe special toothpaste to help with this.
Reply:I would think it would make it worse. I use sensitive tooth paste and use warm water, as the cold seems worse. This helps tremendously...
Reply:No, you buy a toothpaste like Sensodyne or Colgate Sensitive and it will lessen your sensitivity over time.
Reply:The answer is no. Use Sensodyne toothpaste but make sure it doesn't have peroxide or whiteners.

You can get a sensodyne/sensodyme toothpaste from the pharmacies, which will reduce the sensitivenss in your teeth.
Reply:No, and exposure to it will probably hurt. You should find out the underlying cause of the sensitivity in case its infection. You can get sensitivity toothpastes from any store and your dentist can also prescribe special toothpaste to help with this.
Reply:I would think it would make it worse. I use sensitive tooth paste and use warm water, as the cold seems worse. This helps tremendously...
Reply:No, you buy a toothpaste like Sensodyne or Colgate Sensitive and it will lessen your sensitivity over time.
Reply:The answer is no. Use Sensodyne toothpaste but make sure it doesn't have peroxide or whiteners.

Re: Lumineers....I have extremly sensitive teeth, anyone out there know if getting Lumineers would help?
After years of sensodyne and tooth varnishing I am at my wits end with my tooth sensitivity. Everything hurts, even brreathing some days. I am considering veneers but heard about Lumineers, anyone out there know if this would help?
Re: Lumineers....I have extremly sensitive teeth, anyone out there know if getting Lumineers would help?
Having either veneers or lumineers applied involves grinding down some of the natural tooth surface, and for some people this can *increase* tooth sensitivity. Lumineers may require less loss of the natural tooth surface to apply than ordinary veneers, but you should check with your dentist about the best approach for extremely sensitive teeth. Have you also considered bonding? There is generally some light etching of the tooth surface to prep for the bonding, but this procedure can leave more of your original tooth intact than either veneers or lumineers. Good luck! :)

Sensitive teeth. Whats the best treatment?
Mine used to bleed a lot and dentist recommended Cordosyl mouthwash - i used it for a few weeks and the bleeding stopped.
Reply:I'd try sensodyne toothpaste 1st.
Reply:i use colgate sensitive toothpaste, and that seems to help :)
Reply:i have sensetive teeth and i have tried sensodyne and it didn't help me so i just put up with the pain.
Reply:Special sensitive toothpaste, don't brush your teeth with ice cold water (go for a lukewarm instead) and a soft bristle toothbrush so your gums don't bleed. If they're OVERLY sensitive then see your dentist and ask if there's anything you can do. G'luck!
Reply:I've tried lots of different things, but nothing seems to work. I asked my dentist to remove all my teeth but they refused. So like mags i just put up with the pain.
Reply:Corsodyl is good if you have gum disease, but it eventually makes your teeth black, so you need to go to dentist.
sensodyne is good, but I have just swapped to Arm %26amp; Hammer Enamel Care Sensitive and I love it. It also seems to whiten too which is an added bonus.
My dentist recommends a sensitive toothpaste and an 'alcohol' free mouthwash.
Reply:1. Make sure your checkups are up to date and these are not caused by cavities or gum disease. Also, your dentist can give you a fluoride treatment that will help while you are there.
2. Get some sensitive toothpaste. They are all the same. The key is not to rinse the toothpaste off. Brush, spit, do not rinse/eat/drink for 30 minutes. If you do you will rinse all the active ingredient off and it will not work. Be sure to use a soft or preferrably an extra soft toothbrush. Easy, gentle circles when brushing. Also, if you know an exact sensitive spot, you can put some toothpaste on your finger and rub it into that area after brushing.
3. For more help, add a fluoride mouthwash to you regimen. This will help even more with sensitivity and cavities. However, you will need to do this a different time than the toothpaste to avoid rinsing the toothpaste off. You can do 1 morning and 1 night.
4. Avoid whitening and tartar control toothpastes.
Reply:First you should find the reason for your sensitivity.
Your tooth is composed of a layer of hard enamel on the outside then a hard layer of dentine beneath. Right in the center there is a space for your nerve.
The main reason for sensitivity is because the under layer of dentine is exposed. The dentine gets sensitive when its exposed because it has tiny tubes which join to the nerve in the centre of the tooth. Any cold or sweet which gets on these tubes makes the tooth sensitive.
There are many ways how your dentine could be exposed. eg enamel worn away from brushing too hard. gums shrunk back from brushing too hard or from gum disease. thinned enamel from something acidic like consistant vomiting or soft drink. tooth decay which has exposed the dentine.
Finding out the reason for your sensitivity may mean you can either treat it by fixing the problem with dental work, or you can find out how to prevent it getting worse by modifying your diet or behaviour.
Taking anti sensitive toothpastes and mouth washes is great for sensitivity created by minor tooth wear, however if its anything more than that, it is best to fix the problem properly. And even if the antisensitive treatment works, it is still best to find out the exact cause of it so you can avoid it in the first place.

I have sensitive teeth, how to whiten my teeth?
So you have sensitive teeth. You know some years before I used to get lots of dental problems but now my teeth are quite healthy. And the reason is only one. Now I brush my teeth twice in a day. Brushing your teeth before going to bed is extremely important. Secondly, always rinse your mouth after every meal. This will help to kill bacteria and thus you will get healthy teeth. If you are out, at restaurant or café or at canteen, you can keep a mouth wash with you. So you can gargle after you eat and can decrease the chances of dental ailments. Visit your dental once in a six months. Ask your dental the right procedure to brush your teeth. Sometimes our way of holding toothbrush may go wrong. You can do threading (cleaning your teeth with the thread specially meant for it) on regular occasion. But just do not forget one thing, which is very important, and my own experience tells so, brush your teeth twice in a day.

Do white (composite) fillings make your teeth more sensitive?
I had 3 fillings done a few weeks ago in my back molars, 2 bottom (one was very large) and 1 at the top. The biting surface is still slightly uneven which I would expect, but I am getting pain in them. Its like they are very sensitive, especially when I eat. Is this to be expected after having 3 fillings, what should I do? I have been under a lot of stress lately and have heard that you can get pain in your teeth if you get stressed?!!
Do white (composite) fillings make your teeth more sensitive?
You're right, you can get pain in your teeth if you are stressed and grinding them but you would have had those symptoms before the fillings if that was the case. It is sometimes normal to experience some sensitivity after having composites done but you should get back to your dentist if it's been this long. You say the bite is still uneven but it really shouldn't be because, with white fillings, the shape they are when you leave the surgery should be the shape they are meant to be, so if they feel uneven then they aren't properly in line with your natural bite, and this is why you are getting the sensitivity, especially if it's when you eat. Go back to your dentist asap and they will check the occlusion, file the fillings down a bit and the problem should be solved. You shouldn't leave it any longer because you could cause trauma to these teeth. Hope this helps.
Reply:filling can be sensitive for months after they are done
they susally stay sensitive for a few weeks and then come and go for a few weeks and them you get usued to them and there is no more sensitivity. if after two months they are stills ensitive you need to go back to your dentist and tell them
Reply:It doesn't make your teeth sensitive but it will be sore when you chew and drink etc. for a few month's. If it is still the same in 2-3 months time talk to your dentist.
Reply:my hubby had one of those and its 6 months later and it still hurts him, i dont think that the dentist did a good job or its the type of filling that is hurting. I dont know personally i havent ever had a cavity. Go back to the dentist and have them check your bite, that might be the problem too.
Reply:It's not the fillings, it's the way they were put in. Revisit the dentist and complain.
Reply:You shouldn't experience pain other than the after effects of the anaesthetic injection!
When you have top/bottom fillings %26amp; are told to bite down %26amp; move your teeth on a piece of inked paper - the dentist is trying to get the teeth as level as possible as if he doesn't, you will get bruising. This is VERY painful and will not go away on its own.
Go back %26amp; just ask the dentist to re-check your bite now you are no longer numb!
Reply:Sometimes a deeper filling (with composite) can cause sensitivity. I have them myself. My dentist explained that she used a desensitizer to help prevent the sensitivity. Over time, it has grown less and less sensitive...but you should see your dentist about it if it continues.
Reply:Anytime you have fillings done or other dental work it will be sensitive for a few months, however if it feels really uneven, you might want to revisit your dentist and bring it to his attention. It could cause other problems with the alignment of your jaw. This happened to me.
Reply:You shouldn't have composite resin in your posterior teeth. Composite is designed for the anterior teeth to blend in and make a natural look. The fact that it's uneven means that the dentist didn't take his time in ensuring the chewing surface is even with the rest of your pits and fissures. I suggest you go back and tell him. The sesitivity is either air, food, or pressure on your nerves.
Reply:Yes if the fillings are white then they tend to be more sensitive to hot and cold. It is because of the material they are made of, it is chemically bonded to the tooth and there are some particals of plastic in there so when you eat something hot it will expand and push against the teeth wall causing pain or discomfort, again with cold it will shrink and pull the teeth causing pain again. If you are stressed you may grind your teeth which can also cause pain.

Do Crest Whitestrips make your teeth more sensitive?
I've heard wodnerful things about Crest Whitestrips, but someone told me they make your teeth more sensitive. Is this true?
Do Crest Whitestrips make your teeth more sensitive?
Yes, more sensitive than they already are, but any whitening treatment would make your teeth more sensitive. It goes away after a few days, just avoid anything really cold or icy or anything really hot. It's not a big deal, and it's worth it if you want your teeth to be whiter.
Reply:Yes they can for some people, it only lasts for a day or two though and it goes away completely if you stop using them. My teeth only became sensitive when I used the strips twice a day, they were fine if I only used them once, I had the strongest ones available. It was worth it, they work really well.
Reply:I used them 2 years ago and I had no problem. Worked for me. Some prefer the bleaching from the dentist but it is so expdensive. You could ask your dentist what the cost would be and how long it would last.
Reply:Any bleaching process can make your teeth more sensitive. For some people it is more noticeable than others. If you notice it too much then space the bleaching out and use a high fluoride toothpaste or something like Sensodyne to help with it. But the sensitivity isn't permanent. It goes away within a couple of days and the result is definitely worth it.

Does floride make ur teeth less sensitive?
and also does whittening products make ur teeth more sensitive?
Does floride make ur teeth less sensitive?
yes floride helps. floride helps keep the enamel on your teeth.
when the enamel comes off your teeth get sensative. i'm not sure about whitening products. i would think it wouldnt matter because the dentist can whiten your teeth.
Reply:fluoride clogs your veins and should not be in your tooth paste ! nor should any chemicals for that matter , find a fluoride free toothpaste . Swishing (do not swallow ) hydrogen peroxied whitens teeth naturally . Be sure to rinse well . Also baking soda will lighten stains on teeth . Do not drink dark sodas (or any for that matter ) tea or coffee or smoke , all stain teeth.Do a search on dangers of fluoride , and stop using it all together , really.

Why are my teeth so sensitive?
I recently got my braces off in December after 3.5 LONG years. Whenever I drink something cold, like water, my teeth start to hurt because they are so sensitive. Does this have anything to do with my braces? Do you have a suggestion to fix this annoying problem? Please!?!?
Why are my teeth so sensitive?
the nerve in your teeth could be exposed or near the surface of your teeth,
not much you can do besides brushing your teeth with sensitive toothpaste.
Reply:Teeth are sensitive for three reasons. Decay, gum recession where the root of the tooth is exposed, and thin teeth (like your front teeth) with big healthy nerves in them.
Depending on when your last cleaning and check up was, you should speak with your dentist/dental hygienist about this. Try to figure out which teeth are sensitive. Front teeth, back teeth, top or bottom, left or right.

Reply:Don't use them any more. White teeth aren't that big of a deal anyhow. Most guys don't look at your teeth anyhow.
Reply:They will be sensitive for a while, especially after first use. Try only applying them once a day (if it's the 2 week program with 28 strips). Try not to eat a lot of cold foods or very hot foods, as it will make the sensitivity worse. As you become more accustomed to the pain/ sensitivity and it goes down, try increasing the program to the full 2 sets. Also, try to space them apart (one set in the morning, one in the evening/night). You didnt sleep with it on, did you? ONLY leave them on for the time allotted, which i think is 1/2 hour per set. Hope that helps!

Reply:It is a tooth sensitivity to the whitener. Unless it is unbearable, it is normal. Try using the strips every other day and use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth like Sensodyne.
Reply:Take a day off, get a fluoride rinse at the store and use this as soon as you remove the strips. You have to swish, spit, do not rinse/eat/drink for 30 minutes. Use the fluoride rinse 2 times daily before restarting use of the white strips. Sensitivity is normal. Just be sure you are up to date on your checkups with your dentist also.

if you have tried sesodyne and does not help try a dentist there could be something wrong like gum disease or other healthproblems related to teeth or gums. believe it or not gums could be causing that sensitivity, not your teeth
good luck with this!
Reply:your probibly grinding. See a dentest you might need a mouthguard.
Reply:Maybe you are a mouth breather..................OMG!
Reply:That can come from you grinding your teeth at night. Consult your dentist.
Reply:try sensidine tooth past, its good
Reply:Try brushing with Sensodine. Its made for sensitive teeth. Go and see a dentist first make sure there are no cavities or other problems.
Reply:Maybe your clenching or grinding your teeth in your sleep. OR maybe your eating sugar before you go to bed and then dont brush them so the sugar is making your teeth sensitive.
Reply:Sounds like your teeth take everything to personally. Tell them to relax and chill out. Not EVERYTHING is about them
Reply:do u grind them at night ??my cousin used to have the same problem
Reply:you should brush your teeth with sensodine it a toothpaste that helps with sensitive teeth
Reply:OH MAN U HAVE TO BRUSH THEM WHEN U WAKE UP, OH GOD... as hard as it sounds please keep brushing when u wake up...
Reply:You are probably either grinding or clenching your teeth as you sleep. Try a night guard or a splint. You can be accessed by your dentist to get a custom made splint or buy one off the internet.

Reply:Even if you keep your mouth open sometimes when you sleep, there's a phase of sleep that you go into that you don't know the first thing about anything going on around you...or even in your own mouth.
I think the consensus is: You're grinding your teeth at night in your sleep -AND- Use Sensodyne.

Teeth over sensitive?
i tried brushing my teeth with lemon juice as i was told it removed stains but now my teeth at the gums are very sensitive will they be okay in couple of days
Teeth over sensitive?
They will be fine, lemon juice is very acidic, acid does tend to make teeth more sensitive and vunerable to decay. Try a whitening tooth paste that also is for sensitive teeth.
Reply:try using sensodyne
Reply:Buy yourself Sensodyne toothpaste, it will help a lot
Reply:Yes, but I do not understand why someone told you that as acids are the #1 cause of deterioration of the tooth enamel. Use a good toothpaste with stain removers.
Reply:Arm and Hammer toothpaste does the trick!
Reply:Yes they will be OK soon.
Lemon juice is quite strong so the brushing will have made you feel a little sore.
It will pass just brush gently for the next few days and don't eat anything which may irritate them further.. IE strong spicy foods etc.

Is it normal for other teeth to be sensitive after you get one of your back teeth filled?
I had a large filling in my bottom pre-molar on the left today but all my other teeth are healthy. Obviously it's a little sensitive and the one above it is a bit too I guess because it gets hit by the tools a little. But now my two front teeth feel sensitive - is it normal for teeth so far away to feel sensitive after a filling that isn't near them? The front tooth on the left is a little more sensitive than the right. The enamel has been a little thin looking on those two teeth but my dentist wasn't worried.
Is it normal for other teeth to be sensitive after you get one of your back teeth filled?
i haven't heard any patients with this problem before. give it a week, if they are still sensitive, see your dentist again. also, the tooth above the pre-molar that you had filled may be sensitive because the filling is too high and may need to be filed down a little bit more. if it becomes painful, see your dentist.
Reply:It could be sympathy pain or did they clean your teeth? Mine were sore last time after they cleaned them - because it is scrappy and then that freezing cold water stuff.... I'm getting butterflys just thinking about it :-(
Reply:normal.

Name of toothpaste that has all 4? - Fights tarter, for sensitive teeth, whitens teeth and is ADA approved?
Don't tell me Crest ProHealth because it is out of stock everywhere or no one carries it. What else can I get besides Crest ProHealth that will whiten my teeth, take care of sensitivity and also fights tarter? It also must have the ADA seal (American Dental Association).
Name of toothpaste that has all 4? - Fights tarter, for sensitive teeth, whitens teeth and is ADA approved?
This is a hard list to fill. Both Crest and Colgate have other products that are better than average at fighting bacterial buildup (Colgate Total fights against gingivitis) and others that fight sensitivity. However, Colgate Total does not have a desensitizing agent in it (potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride) and the sensitivity toothpastes don't usually have the ADA seal or the extra "tarter control" ingredient.
If you are very particular at having all four in a single toothpaste, perhaps you should look online for a retailer selling the ProHealth paste. Otherwise, rank what is most important to you and choose a paste that focuses most on that feature. Other sensitivity toothpastes should work just as well as ProHealth--and if you're a diligent flosser, the extra "tarter control" benefits of PH won't be of a huge benefit.
Good luck in selecting a paste to use! Also, for a complete list of products that have obtained the ADA seal, check here:
http://www.ada.org/ada/seal/adaseal_prod...
Toothpastes are listed under "dentifrices." You'll see ProHealth is the only that fits all of your qualifications.
Unlike the last comment, the ADA seal cannot simply be bought and should be considered when choosing a dental product. However, there are many reasons products choose not to submit their products to the ADA for consideration (including wanting to advertise that their product is "better" than another when the ADA cannot find conclusive evidence that it's really better).
Reply:You can only target sensitivity for up to 4 weeks. Use Sensodyne, then after 3 or 4 weeks go back to Colgate Total. It works on bad breath, cavities, plaque and gengivitis. It is the only toothpaste that is ADA accepted and FDA approved. Report It
Reply:I think it is called Colgate Total
Reply:sorry but all i know is crest
try a different crest
Reply:Colgate
Reply:Colgate Total works well
Reply:try toothpaste from Melaleuca
Reply:There is no other toothpaste that can do all four things that is available at this point. But by the way, being ADA approved doesn't really mean anything. They just pay for the seal. It used to mean there was more testing but now it is just a seal to be bought.
Now that being said, any toothpaste will fight tartar because when you brush you disturb the bacteria that can collect and harden to form tartar. The special tartar control toothpastes have an ingredient that doesn't allow the plaque to harden, but it doesn't work for everyone.
Sensitivity toothpastes contain potassium nitrate, the Crest Pro Health toothpaste does not, it contains Stannous Fluoride which is also proven to reduce sensitivity.
I would recommend Crest Sensitivity whitening plus scope. It does all of the things you want except doesn't have the extra tartar control ingredient, but like I said, you may not need that.

Sonicare vs. Oral-B - which is better for sensitive teeth?
I normally just use a soft manual toothbrush, but I'd like to get an electric. Does anyone know if one is better than the other for sensitve teeth?
Thanks.
Sonicare vs. Oral-B - which is better for sensitive teeth?
Sonicare elite is the best. I have the same problem and it has really helped!
Reply:The key to the electric toothbrush is not putting pressure on them and not trying to brush your teeth with them as you normally would with your regular toothbrush. You just hold it gently against your teeth and slowly move it from tooth to tooth so each tooth gets the correct amount of time. I prefer the sonicare. I feel you get the most for your money out of it. The sonicare uses the same technology as an ultrasonic scaler which dental offices use. Its bristles move faster than you can see, almost ultrasonically. It forces oxygen bubbles between your teeth to help even clean inbetween your teeth. Anyways, its what me and all of my family use and our teeth have required much less picking or fixing. They are expensive but they last a long time.
Reply:I've used both.
The Sonicare has super soft bristles. It rotates 31,000/minute so it's effective cleaning. It claims to whiten teeth, improve gum health, including shrinking periodonatal pockets.
The Oral B has several heads. I use the single head and the dual head. The bristles are stiffer. And the rotations are slower. But the cost is far less.
I suggest the Sonicare. I used the Oral B for several years and each year, the cleanings were the same. Scratch, scrape, etc. But I switch to Sonicare for a year and my hygenist was amazed at how I had almost no tartar/plaque. The cleaning took less than 5 mins, no scraping this time. And she even said I didn't need teeth bleaching because they were so white.
With both, you have to remember not to over-brush and not to scrub. It can also damage your gums and teeth. Ask your dentist how to brush. I did and realized I was beating my gums up with both brushes. Just go gentle and let both do the work. Good luck!

2 questions 1 about headaches and 1 about sensitive teeth...?
I've been getting constant headaches I take ibuprofen and nothing happens what do u suggest to get rid of these headaches?
for some reason now when i drink cold drinks my teeth hurt...what do you suggest?
2 questions 1 about headaches and 1 about sensitive teeth...?
As far as the headache goes, ibprofen is not meant for those. Try Excedrin, or Tylenol or just anything that is specified for a headache.
Ibprofen is meant for anti-inflmammatory, and actually can cause headaches... I know I have been taking it for years almost daily and my mother is a nurse.
As far as the teeth, you may have a need to go to the dentist. A sign of a needed root canal is sensitivity to cold on your teeth. Or you could just be having temporary issues.
Hope that helped some!
Reply:Jesus is the cure for all the reasons all the seasons. flush your nose with a saline solution from Walgreen's store. Sounds like infection. While at Walgreen's pick up a toothpaste called syondine for sensitive teeth it does work the first time you use it that and prayer

Is there a home remedies for sensitive teeth?
my front teeth are very cold. its so painful i cant talk or eat. i wont have insurance untill april 1st so going to the dentist is not an option right now. Is there anything around the house i could use?
Is there a home remedies for sensitive teeth?
Use Sensodyne toothpaste every day. It really helps. Also, try taking two aspirin tablets for pain. Antihistamines like Benadryl will help if the pain is related to a cold or sinus condition. Take one at night before going to bed.
Reply:You could try clove oil. I have heard this is effective.
Reply:get one of those toothpastes for sensative teeth.....they really work....same issue here, they cost a bit more but worth it, that is info I got from my dentist..
Reply:ambisol is perfect for that..its cheep

Reply:sensitive teeth can be caused by a number of things- worn enamel, which is like a layer of protection on your teeth, tooth decay, cracks in your teeth, or worn fillings. to stop the pain of te sensitivity until you can go to your dentist to find out whats wrong, try doing these easy things that really help:
1. use soft, little bristle children's toothbrushes, and no electric tooth brushes.
2. use toothpaste that is desensitizing, which which contains com-pounds that help block sensation traveling from the tooth surface to the nerve.
thee isn't really anything else you can do for the pain.
Reply:If you can get to the CBS or Wall Mart etc. There you will find toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Sansodyne is one that comes to mind, and there are also other brands available, search for them in the Toothpaste Isle. They will desensitize your teeth, with daily use. That is what the Dentist recommends .
