What medicines should I take for tooth sensitivity. I have been using sensodine toothpaste for the last 6 months but not yet improved. Is there any other medications?

Question

A major cause of tooth sensitivity is root exposure. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need cleaning along with desensitizing procedures and / or artificial enamel filling and / or root canal treatment. Advance procedures can be done with laser too. You may consult me in person. Until then apply a desensitizing paste (sensodyne tooth paste) on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min until you brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight will be better. Advance procedures can be done with laser. You may consult me in person.

U shud have got it checked by dentist before using sensodyne as these pastes are not used as regular ones .even our tooth gets addicted to it. So visit a doctor and let him know your problem.

Hi teeth sensitivity can be due to gum infection or wearing away of your teeth due to faulty brushing of teeth go to nearby dentist for professional cleaning and polishing of teeth and for further advise use my doctor's code.
