Comments on: How to Care for Sensitive Teeth

on 8/8/2006 Do not re contour your teeth, they will for sure become sensitive.
Also, if you replace an old filling, they can become sensitive, although it is said that the sensitivity disappears in several weeks.

on 7/9/2006 I have sensitive teeth. The pain is absolutely unbearable, sometimes the pain keeps me up all night. I found Sensodyne toothpaste. Sensodyne gets rid of the pain quickly. So my advice would be to use Sensodyne toothpaste for at least a week, 4 times a day. And watch your sensitivity disappear.

on 6/30/2006 My sensitivity is general - meaning it is over most of my mouth, so brushing with DenClude has helped lessen the problems (though it is 8 dollars a tube and only found at your dentist's office). My dentist has suggested that this type of sensitivity is caused by a mineral imbalance, so I am now looking into that!

on 3/16/2006 Try using Tom's of Maine natural toothpastes. I had sensitive teeth for years using Sensodyne and similar toothpastes. After a month of using the Tom's, my teeth were no longer sensitive and didn't hurt when eating cold foods. Any natural, organic or chemical-free toothpaste could have the same result.

on 11/22/2005 I drink a small glass of milk afterwards. Milk works even better than water (milk's pH is buffered, but water's pH is not buffered).

on 11/22/2005 Gargle with about 1 teaspoon of brandy on the sensitive tooth. It will remove the pain immediately.

on 11/22/2005 Under the supervision of my dentist, I tried bleaching but it seemed to cause serious sensitivity. I have discontinued the bleaching process and would recommend that anyone considering it be advised that the bleaching trays and product may cause this.

on 11/22/2005 When eating acidic foods,
rince with water afterward. Brushing will just rub the acid into your teeth, according to my dentist. Using Sensodyne toothpaste also makes a big difference.
