Hi Kane,

Congrats on the shiny whites!!

I just had mine cleaned over 2 days and my front teeth became very hot/cold sensitive after the first cleaning. I told the dentist this when I went back yesterday for the rest of the job and he gave me a tube of Sensodyne toothpaste. His advice was to rub the paste onto the teeth with my finger and just leave it there. He did say the sensitivity's just because of the cleaning (teeth haven't had any real contact with hot/cold stuff while they've needed cleaning) and that it'll settle down soon enough but that the Sensodyne will help.

I used it three or four times yesterday so that I had an almost constant coating of the paste, and again this morning. Right now, I'm drinking steaming coffee and the sensitivity already seems to have gone:) I'm not saying the toothpaste will cure yours but I'm much of the opinion that anything's worth trying:)
 
Hey anything is worth a try. Thanks for the tip! Ill have to run to the store and get some tonite.
 
Hi Kane

That feeling is amazing isn't it!? and doesn't it make you feel smug ......... I wondered if I would get myself into trouble as when I was out I gave everyone who so much as looked at me a big cheesy grin and seem to be forever smiling at myself in shop windows - who is that made woman? ;D

I use Sensodyne too, the one in the can.

Keep smiling .............. ;)
