You could try sensodyne toothpaste that helps a bit. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mouth is really sensative to it. Is this > normal? I'm 4 weeks post-op and I've had the same cold sensitivity problem for the last 2 weeks. Oddly enough, I did not have it the first two weeks. Maybe I was too focused on the swelling and bruising to notice. My doctor suggested the Sensodyne toothpaste, too. And, he also said that even if you don't use that toothpaste, you absolutely should NOT use any kind of tartar control toothpaste as that is very rough on your teeth and can make them more sensitive under even the best conditions. The good news is that today I was able to actually eat some ice cream without waiting for it to warm up and partially melt. I'm hoping that means the sensitivity is going away. Especially because its about 20 degrees outside and everytime I walk my dog, my teeth throw me into agony! Sherri Nadeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Ummm... One suggestion: Don't drink anything that cold. (I know. It's like the old joke about, " Doc, it hurts when I do this. " Doc's response: " Don't do that. " ) It's not as though this were the heat of summertime, after all. Ask your doc, next time you see him or her. Try Sensodyne toothpaste. But aside from all that, just ease up on your mouth and give it more time to heal. Is there really anything that you MUST have cold to get it down?
