A member asked:
I get fluoride varnish twice a year at my dentist but still suffer from sensitivity. at home which is the strongest ingredient for sensitivity, potassium nitrate vs stannous fluoride?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best to regularly use toothpaste for sensative teeth like Sensodyne. Over time your teeth will be less sensitive. In the meantime, avoid foods and temperature of fluids that bother your teeth.
