Hi there
If there are any dentists out there, I'd really appreciate advice, or from anyone else whose suffered sensitive teeth. I've been advised by dentist to use corsodyl gel on Tepe to address a sensitive tooth issue (which was a little sore but not a big problem, but I decided to rub sensodyne onto it before going to bed, and it hurt, so went to the dentists). The dentist checked various things and was not concerned that there was something else more worrying going on (no abcess, decay etc). The dentist said I should brush my teeth first, then do the Tepe interdental brushing dipped in corsodyl, then I can rinse with mouthwash. But I'm now concerned the corsodyl gel will be washed straight off? How long should I leave it on for it to have an effect? And does it need to be rinsed off at all, or can it be left on? Also, I'm using sensodyne rapid repair, which is ok if I just brush with it, and doesn't. hurt at all, but if I rub it onto the tooth beforehand (as is suggested on the tube) it makes my tooth hurt. I've tried other toothpastes today out of curiosity and they do not do this. Should I switch toothpastes, or just avoid the rubbing thing? Sorry for all the questions!!! Thanks
