mamapjama Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I have one upper tooth that has been bothering me for months. I am using Sensodine and have also tried Jason's co10 toothpaste. Still bothering me. And now, today one of my lower teeth on the same side is bothering me. It hurst most with cold drinks. Is there anything else I can use? I went to the dentist and she just told me to use Sensodine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the dentist and she just told me to use Sensodine. When this happened to me it turned out my tooth was cracked. I think I'd get a second opinion.

texasmama Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Is the gum receding on these teeth? I had one in which the gum was receding because I was overbrushing, and I had pain like you describe. The sensitive toothpastes did help me a lot, though I still do have some occasional sensitivity.

cindergretta Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I am going to listen in on this thread. I have been dealing with some serious pain/sensitivity issues the last couple of weeks. (((((Hugs))))) to you! (I hope you don't have a cracked tooth! Ugh!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamapjama Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 The upper tooth does have some receding. It feels like the pain comes from inside the tooth, but I'm sure the nerve irritation could cause pain anywhere. I'm very surprised that I am now having pain in my lower tooth. I'll check it to see if there is any receding. I haven't had any problem there before. Kind of weird it is just below the other tooth.

Rosie_0801 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 How are you sleeping? Stress makes my teeth sensitive like this. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamapjama Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Really? I in the 4th month of house renovations. I hit the - this is no longer fun - mark a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I'm grinding my teeth at night? Hmm... I never thought of that, Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessAriel Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Sounds like grinding to me. I went through unnecessary root canals until an alert dentist realized I was grinding and clenching my teeth (stress!!). I now wear an NTI at night and have not had any further issues with that sort of pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyg Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I used to have horribly sensitive teeth. I couldn't stand anything cold or any fruit (acid). Years ago, I searched online and found that there's a mineral gel your dentist can paste on your teeth after cleaning. It sits there a few minutes, soaks into your teeth, and fills microscopic cracks. The effect lasts about six months. My dentist has been using this on me (and anyone else who wants it) for years, and it has worked wonders. I don't know what it's called, but your dentist should know. Or search online yourself. It's not anything new and obscure because I've been getting it for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
