Severe tooth Sensitivity
Dear doctor,
I am 36 years old and suffering extremely from Tooth Sensitivity. This problem has started before few months and now a days it is getting worse. Can't able to take food and drink water and do brush. Some times feeling sensation even the air touches my teeth.
Few days before i went to dentist and he
gave me rapid action flouride gel
(RA thermoseal)and told me to apply on the teeth. I am using and doing my brushing with the same gel. But still I feel the sensation in my teeth. Specially during night it is getting more .I am looking for a permanent solution for this.
Pls suggest me in this regard.
Thanks.

Hello sir. I understand your situation.
It is good to know that you have already visited a dentist. This is an important step.the next thing is that if you feel despite the gel the sensitivity is not going you can ask for a long lasting solution. The treatment can be replacing lost enamel with a filling ( if that is the reason for sensitivity) or treatment of other Dental issues like exist nerve exposure of tooth ( pulp) due to wrong brushing habit. Hope this helped.

Since you have been to a dentist already, I trust he/she must have adviced you correctly.
But, to help you further, a few things you need to take care is-
1. Brushing time. Don’t brush for more than 2 minutes
2. Pressure while brushing- don’t apply too much pressure on teeth while brushing.
3. Brushing technique- try vertical method of brush, and circular motions instead of horizontal grinding on teeth.
4. Kindly stay patient with the toothpaste. It needs time to show effect.
5. Ask your dentist about dental-crowns if your teeth are suitable for them.
Next Steps
We can schedule a consultation if you need second opinion.
