Pain relief: See your Dentist. Pain may indicate diseased teeth and/or gums, gum recession with exposed root surfaces, fractured roots, grinding or clenching, changes in meds or vitamins, malocclusion, and so many more reasons. Sensodyne may dull symptoms, bet will not cure cause of sensitivity. PLEASE see your Dentist.
