Hyper Sensible Teeths

[Sergio70]

I´ve been dealing with a Hyper Sensibility Teeths but nothing seems to work for me. I ve tryed Sensodyne (original formulation) and a new one Sendodyne ("fast relief" made in England) also tryed Colgate sensitive with Arginin. They work for a short period of time (hours maybe) but as soon as i drink coffee or hot tea inmediatly get Bad. I know that the advice could be DONT DRINK HOT DRINKS LOL but i want to make an effort just to be able to enjoy good teas or Coffee Beans. Any other advice from you guys? will be apreciated.

That sucks. Sensodyne has worked pretty well for me. I also found I tended to brush too hard with a regular toothbrush and going to an electric helped. Dentist told me that I was literally wearing away my teeth and making them sensitive. I hold the electric lightly between 2 fingers for the most part and let it do the work. I haven't had hardly any issues with sensitivity since switching to the electric, but I can't say my teeth were THAT bad to begin with.

I found that my sensitivity only lessened after using sensodyne for a while, how long have you been using it and have you been to your dentist as you may have a touch of gum disease which may need treating and that will help...

go to your dentist..I forget the name but there is a "synthetic" version of Sensodyne but only your dentist can write you an RX for it..I used a long time ago and it and it helped

thanks guys for your inputs. I went to the dentist this afternoon and she gave me some kind of treatment based on flour and sodic potassium applied to my teeths followed by some other layer of something that smells like hell and finally ultraviolet light to make the mix get together. She says its not a cure but a remedy that lasts about six months of relief and she also says that the main reason to my ache is that my teeths are too thin. She also prescribed me an spray which i havent bought yet and the name is Bexident. I will let you know how this thing develops thru the coffee test.

My teeth aren't sensible at all. They chew on all sorts of junk.

I've never heard of Hyper Sensibility Teeths but if it is anything like sensitive teeth then I feel your pain. I find regular dentist visits where they clean my teeth and then reapply fluoride I do get some relief provided I maintain flossing and regular gentle brushing.

Yeah I'm in this boat too. I get fluoride treatments when I get my bi-annual cleaning and use Sensodyne for brushing. The longer you use the Sensodyne, the better it will start to work. It takes a long time for it to build up properly and give you the insulation it is designed to provide. It's not a quick fix, it's a long term fix.

Try Gel-Kam, which is a topical fluoride . It does not require a prescription but is kept behind the counter, so you must ask for it. Apply with q-tips on affected areas without rinsing or eating for 30 minutes. Try 2x a day. Fluoride may work better than Sensodyne's potassium nitrate or strontium chloride for you. The dentist can use a varnish over the sensitive area that will eventually wear off.

Since starting eco-dent tooth powders, I no longer have sensitive teeth. I use the lemon/lime in the morning and the dazzling mint at night (help to gently whiten the teeth).

I have really sensitive teeth as well as serious gum recension. I had been using sensodine pronamel exclusively for about three years and never saw any improvement in my sensitivity. I have made some changes recently that have made considerable difference (about a factor of 2 decrease in sensitivity). Unfortunately the changes are somewhat hippieish, so you'll need to take them with a grain of salt and do your own research. The main idea is that you can get around tooth sensitivity by relying on your bodie's natural tooth remineralization processes to fix things.

The first question you might ask is why your body doesn't seem to be able to fix your teath under your current mode of care. The explanation I was given sites two main things: tartar contorl ingredients in tooth paste, and diet. The tartar control aspect is brought about becasue the only way your mouth remineralizes your enamel is through your saliva. Saliva already has the bio-avalable minerals you need to remineralize your enamel, but the coatings that most toothpastes use to keep plaque and tartar off your teeth will also block your saliva.

The diet part is a little harder to explain, and it is not simply "eat less sugar". The idea behind the diet is that you need to eat things that provide and help absorb the require minerals. Without such a diet your saliva won't do what it is supposed to from the out side, and your root pulp will not remineralize your dentine from the inside. Thus your diet is the biggest thing that can contribute to tooth sensitivity and decay. I won't go into the details of the diet since I don't really understand it all that well, but the gist of it is this: unsprouted or unfermented grains block mineral absorbtion--eat fermented grains like sourdough, refined sugar is really hard on you system--look for natural alternatives like dried cain juice and honey, and nutrients from uncultured lowfat milk are hard to absorb--eat cultured whole milk like yogurt and cheese. The refernce I have been working from is called Nourishing Traditions.

Well. That's my rant for now. The stuff outlined above works for me, but as the phrase goes YMMV.

Also, a comment on sensitivty vs. sensiblitiy. As my wife and I have enjoyed Jane Austins books together, we recently found out that the British use of the term sensible genrally means what the American use of the word sensitive means. Or maybe that was just an archaic definition, but in any case I believe we are talking about the same thing when we us sensitive (American) or sensible (British/archaic).

I dont speak english as a first languaje but spanish. Thats the main reason of my grammar.

 

[TourettesTuna]

For what it's worth, I would have never guessed English wasn't your first language. Then again, I did manage to proof read one of my adviser's papers without realizing that it was missing all of the article adjectives, so it may not be worth much.

+1. I don't believe any of us are dentists, and even if we were, we couldn't prove it and shouldn't be freely dispensing info on an internet shaving forum. All we can offer is advice and the best advice is to go see a dentist, they will be the best help you can get. I'm glad you went and saw one.
