Has anyone ever had a sensitive teeth that they can't even chew on?!
Question: I went to the dentist for this one tooth--he said it was fine but had a receding gumline--I've been using sensitive toothpaste like he said--altho I used it before that for about 3 years--it's alittle better but still can't have anything touch it or chew on it? Has anyone ever had this and know if it ever goes away? It doesn't ache if I leave it alone lol! Thx!

Sometimes when you have receding gum tissue there is softer tooth structure exposed.If there is a divot ne'er where the tissue is receding sometimes the dentist can put a tooth colored filling there to insulate it or they may send you for a consultation with a periodontist to see if a graph is necessary.Use a extra soft toothbrush as this softer tooth structure can be worn away easier with more aggressive brushing.They sensitive toothpaste is help full to some people but if its not working for you plain crest cavity can be less abrasive and can also help.Good luck!!
I'm in the same boat. I had a tooth that was killing me (we'll know next month if it's abscessing or dying) and the dentist put a fluoride sealant on it. The tooth totally quit hurting, however, the rest of my teeth hurt now all the time when I chew or drink anything. I'm using sensitive toothpaste too. The fluoride sealant is GREAT but can be costly if you don't have insurance to cover it. It cost me $35 for that one tooth. Do you have a sinus problem going on? Congested sinus cavities can also affect tooth sensitivity. Maybe taking something for your sinuses might help as well. Tis the season for the sneezin' you know!
