Sensodyne or similar: Sensitivity toothpaste such as sensodyne could help temporarily, but it is very important that you see your dentist to determine the cause of the pain.

Sensodyne: A tooth can be sensitive for many reasons. If cavities has been ruled out, then sensitivities can be due to gum recession once gum recedes, cementum is exposed. Sensodyne can be helpful. If the senssitivy does not go away after few weeks, you need to make an appointement and check with your dentist.

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.
