What to do for elder with sensitive teeth?

Topical flurides: There are many products designed to treat the most common cause of sensitive teeth.-teeth that are sensitive from wear and acid erosion. Toothpastes like sensodyne if used correctly can decrease sensitivity but it takes a couple weeks and you have to apply it correctly. . Also there are some Fluoride mouthwashes that are designed to treat tooth sensitivity. Have a dentist check for decay.

Depends on the cause: For sensitivity. If its sensitivity due to gum recession (and not cavities/decay), try toothpastes like colgate sensitive pro-relief or sensodyne. Also brush teeth and spit out -- do not rinse after that -- the longer the paste makes contact with the teeth, the sooner you can expect relief. Also cut out all acidic foods and liquids during the treatment period. Can also use rx mi paste from dds.

Elder sensitivity: See you dental professional. Most elders have scoured their teeth for years. They used stiff brushes, hard pressure than light was better and too much paste. They may have stomach acid reflux too. As the late "Betty Davis" said,"Getting old ain't for sissies". Help them best you can. My Best BD.
