Hi David, thank you for that tip. By coincidence, I had a flare up of sensitive top teeth and I went to the dentist. He had to give me an x-ray and he opened up the tooth using an injection to freeze everything. He then cleaned it out and told me I needed to floss more often, then he closed up. He said my options are: pull it out, or remove the nerve, or have root canal treatment at £400, if it does not settle.
In the meantime, I am going to try your suggestion first, of using the Sensodyne Rapid Relief. I will mention that I don't have it as bad as Wes. On the toothpaste box it says that its the little holes in the DENTINE layer of the teeth that causes the problems of sensitivity and the Sensodyne carries out the repairs to the holes, making the teeth stronger and whitening them at the same time. How clever is that. Thank you for helping the afflicted
