There are many products in the market now a days that makes it difficult to decide which o e to choose from. The only thing I can recommend is that to look for ADA seal of acceptance to make the product truly works. It is like FDA APPROVAL.

What can I do about my sensitive teeth?
Hello,
Teeth sensitivity maybe due to different reasons. The best thing that you can do is to ask your dentist to make you a night fairs to protect your teeth at night time READ MORE
Hello,
Teeth sensitivity maybe due to different reasons. The best thing that you can do is to ask your dentist to make you a night fairs to protect your teeth at night time from grinding while asleep (the most common cause of sensitivity in teeth). There are also Fluoride gels that you can purchase over the counter which, by brushing with them twice daily, will subside your sensitivity. Best thing to do is to visit your dentist for the real reason behind your sensitivity. Since I mentioned earlier, it could be due to many different reasons.
Best of luck,
Ramona
