Tooth sensitivity and tooth caving in
Hi I'm experiencing sensitivity in my tongue and find that my teeth are caving in with yellowish coating on them. No matter how hard I brush it does not go away and the sensitivity seems to be there. Kindly advise on this condition.

This yellow coating cannot be removed by brushing. U have to do deep gingival scaling and polishing. As a result after that u might feel more senstivity but that will be for short while . Start wth warm saline rinses 5 6 times a day

Hello sir, general cleaning and polishing is mandatory... Use Antisensitivity paste followed by chlorhexidine mouthwash.. Do not brush hardly use a soft brush always... Yellow deposits will not go with brushing, need to do a general cleaning..

You are having tartar deposits which can cause slight gum recession leading to sensitivity. Please get your scaling and polishing ( cleaning of teeth) done. Then Home maintainence with twice a day brushing and flossing and mouthwash should be enough to maintain the teeth .
Health Tips
Regular check ups at least once a year are advised
