Re: Sensitive or sore teeth are common symptoms

Sensitivity toothpastes containing potassium nitrate can reduce tooth sensitivity. Sensodyne is one of our recommended toothpastes for sensitive teeth. Treating teeth with fluoride mouthwashes also can help. Heavy handed brushing can cause sensitivity. We suggest that people use the Alert toothbrush while using sensitivity toothpastes. Try to also limit the use of highly acidic foods (citrus, soda pop and tea. An advanced treatment can also be sensitivity toothpastes containing strontium chloride. These products, like Sensodyne and a host of others, coax the minerals in your saliva to crystallize and cover the pores in your exposed roots so that cold stimuli can not reach the tooth nerve. We can also use "oxalate" compounds that, when rubbed on the root, will reduce if not eliminate the sensitivity. We can also prescribe high fluoride content mouthwashes which can help reduce tooth sensitivity. We can also apply "bonding agents" to close the pores of the tooth root.
