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.
