Questions about nightguards and Sensodyne toothpaste

[NellR]

I am still having tooth or gum pain every day (not sure which). (Details in earlier posts on this forum). My questions are a) is it okay to use a custom-made nightguard during the day as well as at night? And b) is it okay to rub Sensodyne toothpaste over a portion of my teeth/gums (about one-fourth of my mouth) after brushing my teeth? Both of these things help to alleviate pain. Thank you for any advice.

Absolutely yes to both.

In fact put a little bit of Sensodyne into the night guard before bedtime and that'll work even better

Okay! Thank you.
