My dentist had me on Sensodyne and high-fluoride treatments for years because of my painful sensitivity. Sensodyne worked OK, but I still had to give up eating chocolate, dried fruits, caramel, and other really sugary foods, because when I bit down on them, they caused me horrible pain.

Additionally, I have become disenchanted with all the fluoride and all the research indicating that it's bad for us, so I started looking for natural alternatives. Unfortunately, many dentists won't recommend natural alternatives (as with many doctors, too), so we have to do a lot of the research ourselves.

Tooth Savior Tooth Soap has been a godsend for me. I was a bit skeptical, but after a year and a half, my sensitivity is all but gone, I no longer need the "pre-treatments" at the dentist for pain, and my dentist is amazed at the great condition of my mouth.

It's worth giving it a shot. My dentist had never tried tooth soap, but he actually told me that there were indeed a lot of healthy benefits to brushing with soa0 he just never recommended it because most people can't stand soap in their mouth.

It seems like everywhere we turn, we are having chemicals shoved at us. There are often natural cures, but our "modern" society just forgets to look for them! I hope more of the dentists and doctors out there- who are supposed to be safeguarding our health- will start taking a serious look at some of the time-tested natural cures.

Good luck!

I've found that using a whitening toothpaste of any kind for prolonged periods can cause sensitivity. Sometimes getting rid of the problem is as simple as switching to regular Crest/Colgate, etc., or any other toothpaste that doesn't have a whitening agent.
