Toothpaste and mouthwash for sore gums and sensitive teeth

sixtiesgal_2

My teeth are very sensitive and I suffer from frequent gum infections, last year I had two lots of antibiotics and my hygienist then advised me to use Cordysyl toothpaste in the morning for my gums, Sensodyne toothpaste at night for my sensitive teeth and Cordysl daily mouthwash day and night. I was using all these religiously at first and was feeling the benefit but now I find I often forget to use the mouthwash and wonder if it's necessary to use two toothpastes. I do use the dental brushes as well.

Also is Cordysl Daily ok to use all the time? I used to use the stronger one just now and again as the hygienist I saw before said that was the one to use and she said the daily one is useless. I always found Dentyl to be the best at one time.

I need to know if I am doing this right as I need to keep on top of this problem as I get in agony when my gums play up.

Can't give medical advice.

Toothpaste wise I would stick with the Sensodyne and use it every day.

Not sure about Corsodyl because I thought you shouldn't use it everyday but then I am not a dentist. Toothsmith should know.

Use your dental brushes daily.

Toothsmith

You have been given advice specific to your condition from a dental professional.

You are now asking a collection of completely unknown people who can't see you or your mouth if this advice is correct?

That is a silly thing to do.

If you feel the advice might not be necessary anymore, then go back and see the hygienist and see if he/she agrees.

I would definately go back to the dentist and get some proper advice if this is a reoccuring problem. However, I suffer from sensitive teeth and gums and I use sensodyne toothpaste morning and night which helps alot. I also use corsodyl mouthwash, but this can stain your teeth.

I was advised by my dentist to spit, but not rinse my mouth out after brushing so the fluride isn't washed away.
