hello doctor ,i am doing BDS 3rd year . My uncle in Germany who is 40 years old complained of sensitive teeth.so i asked him to use sensodyne KF .after 3 months he says that he has generalised sensitivity. it has become worse. he cannot tolerate even water splashed in his teeth. what to do?how to rectify it?
Hello....first congrats on preferring BDS as your profession!!!!40 yrs is the age of start of sensitivity of the tooth .....sensitivity can be reduced by using different desensitizing pastes as u did..... still if it's not reducing it it's better to do intentional root canal treatment to the teeth and place a fixed partial denture...hope you are benefitted by my reply. Have a healthy and nice day!!
