Use a desensitizing toothpaste which will block the tubes in the teeth that are connected to nerves, thus protecting the exposed dentin. Generally, the relief is noticed after the use of these products for more than a fortnight. The desensitizing toothpastes contain fluoride and potassium nitrate or strontium chloride. You can be more benefited if you massage this paste onto your gums with your finger after brushing. Consult your dentist, he may apply a protective coating on your teeth.
