I am suffering from sensitivity and it happed in my ryt side of teeth, I am using colgate toothpaste should I change my toothpaste? Or suggest something?

Question

As a rule, it is always better to consult a practitioner in person. But in response to your question, the sensitivity may be caused due to the following reasons 1. A change in the external tooth layer (enamel) which mainly maintains the structure and integrity of the tooth which can be caused due to wear during eating or an acidic diet. 2. A break in the structure of the tooth which does not involve the tooth pulp/nerve (in which case the pain is sharp and quite disturbing) The treatment for these conditions can (or) cannot be treated by medications. A temporary relief may be achieved by using medicated/formulated toothpastes or gels specific for sensitivity like Colgate Sensitive, Thersmoseal, Sensodyne etc. The mode of application for acheiving desired results is to apply by means of a finger onto the affected area and rub it on. Keep it for a few minutes (5-10) and then brush like a regular toothpaste. Hope this would relieve some of your pain, and we strongly suggest that you visit a practitioner should the pain persist.
