I think this is what they're getting at:
>> The scientists are not recommending DIY treatments though. People who are experiencing any worrying toothache should still see a dentist, they stress.
I don't think that's a long-term solution for everyone, though. I have had painful sensations when drinking ice water or eating ice cream my whole life. My dentist sees no apparent reason for this: I don't have significant gum disease, and I've never had a cavity so I would imagine my enamel has been in good shape. If there's something else specific my dentist can look for to see why I have the pain, or something better than Sensodyne, then it's new to me and my dentist.
- asciimov 6y agoPrescription Fluoride Toothpaste was a life changer for me. The tube is like $20 but lasts about a year (you don't use much). It took a few months of nightly use, but It drastically changed my cold sensitivity. I can bite into ice cream and popsicles now, something that always hurt as a kid. You also might want to consider a different dentist, as there is a large range of ability with them.
