My dentist told me I have too much fluoride my teeth can handle... and it's making my teeth chip off on occasion. I am using Sensodyne Original (which she recommended). Now I'm wondering what mouthwash would be suitable for me?
What mouthwash would you recommend for sensitive teeth?
Some times it is better not use any tooth paste at all.
It only gives u fresh sensation.The way u brush is much more important.Do it infront of a mirror ,make sure every corner is cleaned completely ( without using any tooth paste ).
Solve one small teaspoon salt in a glass of lukewarm water that is the best mouth wash.(Do not exceed the amount of salt).
Reply:i also have very sensitive teeth and use sensodyne toothpaste. my dentist told me to rinse with ACT rinse. this seems to help also.

How can I make my weak, sensitive teeth stronger and healthier?
I dont wear braces, my teeth are almost straight, but they are very sensative. I brush and floss daily but would like to know what EXTRA things I can do to make my teeth stronger.
How can I make my weak, sensitive teeth stronger and healthier?
If you are having sensitivity, try using a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth such as Sensodyne. Try to also stay away from anything abrasive and this includes lemons,limes, etc.....
If your teeth are extremely sensitive and a toothpaste made for this isn't helping after a few weeks, then consult with your dentist or hygienist. There are other gels and such that can help with this. As far as making them stronger...they won't get stronger, but if you take care of them and you know the drill I am sure, then they should last you the rest of your life. There is nothing that can guarantee no cavities or need for further dental treatment, but prevention is the best medicine.
Reply:Your dentist can give you some special toothpaste that has extra flouride in it. Helps with sensitivity as well, I can't remember the name of it though......
Reply:you can use a toothpaste for sesitive teeth
Reply:Milk! it does the body good! or calcium vitamins. also.. dont chew or crush on ice with your teeth. it wears down the enamal and that isnt good
Reply:Have you tried sensodyne toothpaste.I use sensodyne-f and it has done wonders for my sensitivity issues.
Reply:Vitamin C will help!!
Reply:What you can do is go to the dentist and tell them your problem,get special toothpaste,get a lot of calcium such as milk ect.

What is the best tooth whitening product for sensitive teeth?
I have tried Crest Whitestrips and a professional kit from my dentist, both hurt my teeth, made me want to scream actually!
Anybody else had this problem?
What is the best tooth whitening product for sensitive teeth?
i have the same problem with those products. although they do work charmingly, they leave my teeth even more sensitive than before.
now i stick to aquafresh multiaction whitening... works the best while preventing cavities.
be careful when buying because, aquafresh has 3 lines of whitening toothpastes and the other ones gave me cold sores. i've been using multiaction whitening for 5 years now and people think i whiten my teeth professionally!
don't forget to get aquafresh whitening floss too and floss daily!
Reply:crest
Reply:Never brush your teeth with hot or warm water.
Reply:Mentadent and Rembrandt have products for sensitive teeth.
Reply:i haven't, but you should probably try Sensodyne.
Reply:yeah i've got very sensitive gums as well as teeth but i get on really well with Beverley Hills Formula for sensitive teeth, even they're regular strength stuff peeled all the skin off the inside of my mouth every night but the sensitive formula is great, not cheap but works =)

How can you prevent sensitive teeth?
I was also wnodering if it's possible to still use products to whiten your teeth?
How can you prevent sensitive teeth?
With toothpastes made specifically for sensitive teeth. Brush 3 times everyday
Reply:brush your teeth two to three times a day.
im not sure.
Reply:There is are toothpastes made specifically for sensitive teeth. As far as teeth whiteners, I'm not too sure about that.
Reply:Well one thing you can do is get some prescription flouride. Use it at least once a day for at least 1 minute preferably at bedtime. One great thing you can do is have flouride trays custom made for you. You may have to spend a little bit of money but it will be worth it in the long run. If you have trays made then you can use them for bleaching as well so your getting a 2 for one deal. I have custom trays I use for flouride. I cant bleach because I have a crown on my front tooth but the flouride really helps my sensitivity. Best of luck to you!

Do I have sugar sensitive teeth?
Hello. For the paste few months, I've had a really hard time eating sugary sweet because of some of my back teeth. At first, I thought it was a cavity. A few month ago, I went to the dentist, and he mentioned nothing. He even too x-rays. Yesterday, I went to the dentist, and he discovered a cavity, on the OPPOSITE side that bothered me. My mother says I have a sensitivity to sugar... but I'm scared if it's just an invisible cavity! Could it be a sensitivity, or a cavity?
PS. When I eat sugar, it doesn't hurt, but it has this bothersome tingly feeling. This has been happening for almost a year.
Do I have sugar sensitive teeth?
If your dentist took an xray and didn't see a cavity than it probally is just sensitive. You might notice that your not just sensitive to sugary things but cold too, if that is the case try using toothpaste for sensitive teeth. If you really think it is a cavity check with your dentist again and ask him to do a panoramic xray to double check.
Reply:sugar has empty and useless calories, you don't need it at all. suggest that if it is causing you such concern, that it is no big deal to just stop eating it.
Reply:If you have the white fillings in your teeth, these can leak. The sugary stuff can get in there. This can go on for quite some time before decay is found, cause the opening is microscopic and the area it is seeping into is at the bottom of the tooth.
Not the answer you were hoping for I know. Try to figure out which tooth is bothering you and bring it to the attention of the dental staff every time you go in.
In our office, we keep track of stuff like that. Usually these cases pan out to further issues with the tooth. HOWEVER, sometimes they resolve on their own, so you don;t want to start drilling out everything.
Sometimes the sensitivity is on the side of the tooth on the root surface. This can be a cavity or abfraction (wear) from clenching. Take your fingernail along the edge of your teeth and see if you can reproduce the sensitivity. If so a sensitivity toothpaste or high concentrate fluoride can relieve the symptoms. I'm gonna assume there is no decay there cause you just had a check up.

Ways too help really sensitive teeth?
or to prevent them from becoming too sensitive???
Ways too help really sensitive teeth?
You need to see a dentist ASAP. sensitive teeth can turn out to be gum diseases!
If you have already seen a dentist then;
-use soft toothbrushes and brush your teeth gently
-use mouthwash
-use toothpaste for sensitive teeth (though this is not necessary; toothbrush is the important thing)
AbeLinc----NO WAY. don't use floss, it's the best way to damage your gums!!! Use mouthwash (mild, non-alchoholic) Do NOT stick nylon, plastics, pen tips, toothpicks between your teeth or pick your teeth with them. Picking your teeth damages your gums and the enamel of your teeth making your teeth more prone to decay. This is a health tip given to five year olds! Don't fall for floss advertisements!!!
Reply:just brush ur teeth every time and make sure go to see other dentist to check ur teeth
Reply:1)If you cannot brush after a meal or snack then at least rinse the mouth with water.
2) Brush with a soft tooth brush, at least twice a day, the most important time is just before going to bed. Otherwise bacteria will have all night to change the food residue into acids that eat away at the teeth.
3) Floss at least once a day (again before going to bed is best) using a thin floss that can get between the teeth.
Expect for the first two weeks of flossing to see some blood loss, as the gums are probably diseased, but flosssing will help restore the health of the gums. Rinse with water after flossing.
4) Minimize sugar, and do not use chewable vit c, it eats away at the teeth.
In general do not use mouth rinses unless you dentist tell you to.
Reply:i have sensitive teeth and i use colgate toothpaste for sensitive teeth. it really helps. also go to your dentist every 6 months, unless he says otherwise. you might want to ask your dentist about sealant coverings.
Reply:I work for a Dentist who tells his patients to use a desensitizer in tooth paste and mouth washes that restore minerals ie Act, Listerine....there are many different products. There are lots of good info on your question, but staying away from any products that whiten teeth is number 1, and not drink acidic drinks like soda could help, wish you luck
Reply:HELLO NICHOLE,
THERE ARE SEVERAL OTC TOOTHPASTES OUT THERE FOR SENSITIVE TEETH.
ALL OF THEM HAVE AN INGREDIENT CALLED STRONTIUM NITRIDE. SN BLOCKS THE VERY FINE MICROTUBULES WHICH CAUSE YOUR TEETH T BE SENSITIVE TO COLD AIR/DRINKS.
AFTER YOU START BRUSHING WITH THIS TOOTHPASTE EXCLUSIVELY, YOU WILL FEEL RESULTS IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS.
Reply:fluoride
Reply:Assuming you have no cavities in your teeth, then the next most common reason for sensitivity in people of your age are acidic drinks. These are soft drinks, juices, cordials, energy drinks, sports drinks...
e.g. Coke has a pH of about 2.3, apple juice about 3.5, Gatrorade about 3.1, Diet Coke 3.0. Nasty stuff. We like the taste of sweet and sour (acidic), and manufacturers know this too. Ever tried to drink water mixed only with sugar? Yuk.
The acids will erode the protective enamel layer of your teeth and open up the microtubules of the dentine underneath, which lead down to the nerve.
So, if these drinks form part of your diet, try living without them for a week, and use Sensodyne toothpaste during this time. Just drink plain tap water. If this works, then you'll know where your problem lies.
