Sensitive Toothpaste?

Bitsy_Beans

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I will try Sensodyne a whirl and see if I can get it on offer.

I did completely forget I'd asked the question so apologies in the delay in responding

I forgot too, let me know how you get on. BTW, I bought the Colegate one, on day two and is helping a little bit. Mind you it tastes so flipping awful that I must have spat most of it away

Very pleased with the Colgate one, only been using it for a couple of days, but have been out in the cold this morning and no pain!

Boots have the sensodyne on offer at the moment. Buy 2 for £5.00.

The most effective way to use this stuff is rub it into the sensitive teeth with your finger last thing at night and don't rinse out afterwards. You can use a normal cheap toothpaste the rest of the time. Otherwise youre spitting most of the active ingredients down the sink.

Most people will find they don't have to use it all the time just when sensitivity builds up,

pretty important that, i find that most of my patients have sensitivity because they are rinsing with water after brushing (fluoride is very good for sensitivity). So the tip -just spit out!

Bitsy, thanks for a great thread! There was me, stupidly assuming that all sensitive toothpastes are created equal:rolleyes: And I never knew that rinsing with water exacerbates it too. You live and learn!

When I got my brace off I swear I wanted to pull my teeth out, think I might have done a thread here...I tried all the dear ones, the dentist was also giving me samples etc...the pain was unreal!!!!!!....I have now settled with TESCO own brand sensitive which is about £1.10 or something...I also got an own brand in tesco sensitive for 57p and it didn't hurt (think the £1.10 is the new and improved version??)....Im seriously terrified at going and trying others right now..I mean I couldn't even open my mouth without it hurting, talking was sore too!!!lol

It must boil down to the type of teeth you have...I'm just chuffed mine agree with the cheapo ones!!!lol
