The mouth rinse is Act with the squeeze top (not pour). I hope the toothpaste helps a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2235476 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 18:35:10 +0000 MoonMoon 2235476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: stupid hormones indeed! I'll be interested if your prescription paste and rinse help. I never thought to link my tooth sensitivity to nursing/hormones. I have a dentist appointment later this month and want to bring that up with him. The Colgate has helped me some, but I still have some sensitivity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2235387 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 16:36:59 +0000 blackbird 2235387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: my dentist gave me some Colgate sensitive today! Also I do have a cavity but it's in another area. I have a prescription for some special toothpaste and rinse, too. Stupid hormones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227320 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 05:58:53 +0000 MoonMoon 2227320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: just checked and it does :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227228 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 21:15:41 +0000 blackbird 2227228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: ugh that sounds unpleasant. I really hope it's just temporary sensitivity. Maybe I need more calcium? Ugh.,@Adira: that's what I keep reading :(@MoonMoon: does it have SLS? I'm also prone to canker sores.

But your dentist will probably use cold air and see if that bothers you. Cracks don't always show up on x-rays. The cold air didn't bother me at all so it was just a weird sensitivity issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227189 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 20:05:44 +0000 MoonMoon 2227189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple of sensitive spots too, and I haven't really solved it. I was using Sensodyne too, and I told my hygenist that it wasn't really working and she suggested a couple of things. One, she said to try Colgate Sensitive, since not everyone responds to the same toothpaste. Second, she suggested that at night, after brushing, I put a little of the toothpaste directly on the sensitive spots. These things have helped me a little. Good luck! I haven't weaned yet, so I have no idea if that'll help. I hope so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227185 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 20:01:51 +0000 Adira 2227185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: The hormones from pregnancy and breastfeeding can really mess with your gums. That's why lots of dental insurances will pay for an extra cleaning when you are pregnant. I hope it doesn't end up being anything serious for you. The best thing you can do is just take care of your teeth as well as possible. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227182 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:59:49 +0000 blackbird 2227182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: ahh no!!!@HLK208: oh man! I just hope there's something I can take to make it better. I find myself favoring my right side for cold drinks and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227168 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:38:43 +0000 HLK208 2227168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this happened to me after my third pregnancy! I had x-rays done and my dentist couldn't see any issues. I couldn't drink anything cold or eat anything sweet without being in a lot of pain. He gave me a prescription tooth paste that I used for about a month and the sensitivity is totally gone. I'm still BFing so I don't think it's related (at least for me).</p> <p>I also had cavities after my first and second pregnancy from my gums swelling and hyperemisis but my teeth were slightly uncomfortable not super sensitive like they were after my third pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227162 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:35:38 +0000 catlady 2227162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but I ended up with 8 (!!!) cavities after pregnancy and EBFing. So definitely get it checked out just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227159 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:33:33 +0000 blackbird 2227159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: it's possible. It'd be a weird spot for one. The sensitivity has traveled around my mouth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227144 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:12:38 +0000 MrsKoala 2227144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it possible you might have a cavity? It's common for an increased chance of cavities during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-teeth-pp-and-bfing#post-2227140 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 18:59:59 +0000 blackbird 2227140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My teeth are really sensitive lately. It started at the end of my pregnancy (sweets in particular hurt my molars) and now I have one tooth (one of my front four) that hurts so bad on the front, down by the gum. I can touch it with a fingernail and it hurts. Next week I have a cleaning. </p> <p>I started using sensodyne toothpaste a couple months ago. Has anyone had success with anything else? I see my OB Tuesday and will ask her if I need to supplement my diet with something. Did it go away for you after you weaned? I've never had this before, thanks! </p>
