Can I use mouthwash while using sensitive teeth toothpaste?!


Question: I have a tooth with a tiny chip in it and my dentist recommended to brush with sensitive teeth toothpaste and keep it really clean to avoid decay. I wanted to use mouthwash to help kill germs but I am concerned about it counteracting the sensitive toothpaste ... is it ok to use both?

If you have sensitive teeth and want to use mouthrinse, you should have your dentist prescribe you a Neutral sodium fluoride mouthrinse. Monthrinses that contain alcohol or are acidic can actually irritate your sensitive areas further.

You may be able to find an OTC mouthrinse for sensitivity, however the dentist prescribed one will work much better. Also, if your sensitivity is coming from recession of your gum tissue, it would actually be a good idea to use a fluoride mouthrinse, because the cementum on your root surfaces is not as strong as the enamel, and therefore is a great place for cavities to form.

yes you can

I'm sure it will be totally fine

I've got sensitive teeth too, and my dentist told me to use Crest ProHealth. They have a toothpaste and a mouthwash, and they both work great. No burning, either. ;-) Good luck!

Sure you can, I use both.

sure - won't hurt a thing!
