As long as you do not have carious lesions or periodontal issues the concentrated fluoride toothpaste should help. If not, fluoride trays can be fabricated that you can fill with concentrated gel which can be worn an hour or so per day until the sensitivity is resolved.

Long term steroid use must be carefully monitored by your physician. Fluoride mouth wash may help desensitize teeth, as well as desensitizing toothpastes. Neither steroids or blood pressure meds are implicated in your tooth sensitivity. Examination by a Periodontist may be in order to evaluate for root exposure. Evaluation by Oral Medicine Specialist may also provide knowledge. Ask Dental Society
