I used to never have a problem with my teeth.But lately my teeth and gums have been super sensitive to cold drinks and foods.Is there anything I can do? I tried sensitive toothspaste,it never worked...I now have a paste that I am trying called "Sensiblock"...haven't seen any changes yet tho,as I just started using it.Has anyone tried that??

I believe there may be some more gels that you can try. It is possible that you just haven't used one that works for you yet. Also, keep in mind that you must use the toothpaste for a certain amount of time before it works. It should say on the package.

You might want to ask your dentist if there are any alternatives. I think they may have some more options.

Hello,
I'm a dental hygienist and 'diagnosis' requires asking several questions! Is it localized to a few teeth? generalized? Have you asked your hygienist or dentist? sensodyne toothpaste rubbed on the tooth at gumline,last thing at night before bed for 2-3 days may help. Always avoid hard scrubbing brushing action at the gum line. If it is sensitivity, a strong fluoride at dentist called duraflur may be required. Could it be open cavities?.. so many possiblities!!

Sensitivity can be a warning sign for many things. Tooth Decay, eroded tooth structure, receeding gingiva (gums), bit discrepencies and more. If switching to a toothpaste for sensitive teeth hasn't helped, it's time to see your dentist.

I am a hygienist and have had several patients with this problem.
As long as you are seeing a dentist regularly and there are no other problems, you might try this.
If you are using whitening toothpaste, tatar control or toothpaste with peroxide in it that may be your problem.
Use a sensativity toothpaste WITH OUT WHITENING!
Use it at least 2/day and as the other hygienist suggested before you go to bed rub a little on the teeth that are sensitive at the gumline- do not rinse or brush after.
Sometimes patients can develope allergies to toothpaste.
Hope this helps!

Ask your dentist for this toothpaste/treatment called sootheRx- its a perscription, you use twice a day for a week and then once a week for maintence after that. AMAZING!!!

I had problems with sensitivity just because of aging and receeding gums. I went to my dentist who intially recommended senstive toothpastes. These didn't work very well so I returned to my dentist who then suggested a product called 'Sensitrol' which he could apply. It was very quick and to my surprise worked immediately. What's even better is that more than a year later my teeth are still desensitised!

Does Sensodyne really works for sensitive Teeth? I have sensitive teeth also and need some advice.

sensitivity occurs due ti wearing out of tooth structure.there are many causes but common among all is wrong tooth brushing.switch to a soft brush.don,t brush in horizontal direction.use tooth paste that decreases sensitivity.if it doesn't work then see a dentist,they will solve your problem.
