OK for Sensitive Teeth?

I also have sensive teeth from brushing too vigorously when I was younger. I have been using an Oral-B electric toothbrush for over 20 years, ever since I began working for dentists. Check out the brush head for sensitive teeth, if you are concerned, although I find that any style will do. Just don't press down when you brush; let the head do the work.

I have used this for teeth whitening and I did not notice any teeth sensitivity! I noticed results instantly and always receive compliments on how white my teeth are!

I don't think anyone here would be qualified to answer that question other than the lab itself. Your dentist should give you recommendations. As for the bite guard part of it for clenching and protecting your teeth, these do pretty well.

Shine Whitening will not make your teeth sensitive for most people. However a temporary side effect of tooth sensitivity or mild tissue irritation is possible but usually transient and may last for a day or two. If you experience tooth sensitivity avoid beverages that contain citrus and hot or cold drinks for the 24 hours.

My husband has very sensitive teeth. He loves the Sonicare. We have been using it for over a year now I believe.

Hi, Barbara! The bristles are not the softest for the most sensitive of gums. I would recommend them more for adults or older children. I hope this helps.

The head of the toothbrush is a normal size as appears in the picture. Different brush heads are available. I don't know what you mean by sensitive gums. However, you can vary the amount of pressure you apply up to the point where it blinks to tell you that you are pushing too hard. There are two speeds to pick from so you should find one of them satisfactory. A certain amount of "vibration" and pressure is required to adequately clean your teeth, of course. I've found it to do a much better job then a manual toothbrush.

They're expensive! I would keep them for yourself. If you don't drink red wine, a lot of coffee or blueberries every day, you can use them just twice a week for "maintenance", once you get the results you want. Pay attention to tooth sensitivity from them. You can't use them every day without your teeth aching. Be sure to press them slightly between the teeth with your fingernail once on, to get the whole tooth, not just the front. I don't eat/drink much of the above, so I only need them once a week now.

This comes recommended by my dentist as I am unable to use harsh rinses. I had sore, red, bleeding gums when I started with this product. The redness, soreness, and bleeding are gone, and my teeth and gums are now healthy. I have a dry, sensitive mouth.

There is something like 4000 rpm so it is strong (similar to a dentist cleaning tool), however you can adjust the settings to your preference. There are 5 choices: regular, deep clean which is a longer setting, feather light which is good for sensitive gums, polishing which is most similar to the dentist office, and massage which changes speed and pressure for gums and teeth. You can also purchase different brushheads such as regular, sensitive gums, deep clean/floss action. If you use the Oral B brand, the brush head fits perfect and there is no excess noise or vibration, but if you use the generics I notice this does happen more and it is annoying, so we go with the brand.

I agree about the sensodyne. I found that if I used the strips after I had been using the Crest 3D whitening toothpaste exclusively, I got sensitivity. So I suggest using a sensodyne type toothpaste for a week or more before using the strips. Then when you are done you can go back to whitening toothpaste. Both the strips and the 3D toothpaste worked great though.

This product does not do anything about the receding gums. It will however protect the newly exposed tooth area. I have had this happen, and the sensitive tooth will become less sensitive within a few days. You will know, because you can feel it.

Well I use this brand because of my sensitive gums and teeth, plus I use mouth wash and I floss. I also use whitening strips.

The package says to use them once a day or even twice a day for faster results, I had to stop after 7 days though because my teeth were too sensitive. The website says it is ok to skip days in between.
