Night guard and tooth sensitivity?!


Question: I've been wearing my night guard my dentist custom made for me for about 5 nights now and my teeth seem to be sensitive. Is this normal, would the night guard be causing this or maybe it's my toothpaste?

I've been using a custom-made nightguard for about 2 years now and haven't noticed any change in sensitivity. I suppose it's possible, but it sounds unlikely to me.

Have you recently changed toothpastes? I've always had sensitive teeth and now I use Sensodyne ProNamel toothpaste - it works well. It's a little more expensive than other toothpastes but I think it's worth it!
