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.

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 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 :)
