Any dentists' recommendations on toothpaste for sensitive teeth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sensitive teeth: See a dentist to determine the cause of the sensitivity and the best way to resolve that issue. Every cause has a different remedy. Your dentist can make better recommendations than we can over the internet, sight unseen.

Sensitive teeth: The pain of sensitive teeth can be managed with a few simple home remedies. Sensodyne tooth paste is a good product for sensitive teeth. Avoid using hard-bristled toothbrushes and avoid hard foods. Also avoid or limit acidic items like sodas, tomatoes, oranges and lemons. Hope it helps.
