Borax
Hello all, Sensitive teeth were making eating and drinking miserable. Started taking borax about a month ago and teeth feel great now. No sensitivity at all any more. Also teeth don't seem as rough as usual.
Brush Gently
I got tooth sensivity by brushing too hard with an electric toothbrush but I cured it completely by brushing with Sensodyne. After a few days the sensitivity was gone. I don't use Sensodyne anymore because I don't want to use tooth pastes with fluoride but no problem because the sensitivity never came back!
Calcium
For the last year, I've been experiencing frequent sensitivity in my teeth. At first, I thought it was my morning lemon juice and water so I cut that out, but I still had it. Then I switched to a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth and while that helped a lot, it didn't eradicate it. The only time I had any relief was when I took ibuprofen. Finally, one day, my husband came home from his annual physical and said he was in great shape except that the doctor said he should start taking a daily calcium pill because people over 50 start losing calcium. That's when it hit me. I remembered the old Wonder bread commercials from when I was little... "12 vitamins and minerals for strong bones and teeth! " or something like that.
I went out and bought a bottle of calcium pills and began taking 1000 mg. A day. In no time, my tooth sensitivity was gone! I stopped using the special toothpaste and went back to my morning lemon juice and water and still no tooth sensitivity. It's been about four months now and it hasn't returned. All I have to do is take my daily calcium pills and I'm fine!

Eek - lemon juice will eat your enamel. Lots of studies proving that. Also your calcium supplement is probably only working because it has magnesium, zinc and Vit D in it. Calcium will actually make your situation worse if it does not contain those things in with it.
Charity's Remedies
If scrub or whiten your teeth you could make them sensitive. To tone down dental drama, you can use Alpha lipoic acid. MSM helps with receding gum line along with some other collagen supports like vitamin c, gelatin and silica. Salt and phosphorus are minerals in teeth.
1/2 tsp baking soda in 8 oz.water, mix, rinse and spit ~ helps calm down the teeth/cavity pain. Activated charcoal brushed on teeth and gums at night and left overnight kills off bacteria, cuts down pain signals in the mouth.
Walnut tincture feels good in the mouth or one iodine drop in some water swished around the mouth. a 1/2 tsp of coconut oil coating the teeth before bed and leave there at night. These all work for me and a few other things.

I was watching an infomercial the other day on teeth. It was long and not for the faint of heart but I am down to faith as my cure, so short of an act of God, I have tried everything I could figure out. This guy was interesting to me and when he said your body is willing to sacrifice your teeth to save you, he had me there. I have done so much trying to fix myself and my body has been sabotaging me at various stages. Raised in trauma, I had to produce cortisol because of my subconscious programs and that put a huge wrench in digestion and that affected the rest of my body.
This guy had bad breath and he went to find his solutions . His name is Mark Hall and I have not bought his product but he explains what is in it and why. I know Ted likes L-threonine for enamel on teeth. Ted said use soy lecithin granules in place of oil pulling since it emulsifies bad fats out of your organs. I know a lot of stuff about calcium absorption and minerals . Mark Hall didn't know all that stuff . He did have some interesting keys though. Your body sends an army to attack toxins and that army is corroding gums and teeth> key number one . He adds herbs for saliva health . Potassium for bleeding gums and demineralization problem. Collagen heals gums. Vitamin A stimulates saliva. vitamin C for soft tissue and neem extract and a specific type of sage( sp? sambooka nigras). Licorice and elderberry and calcium phosphorus and D- and K-2 . he forgot to mention borax or silica. His drops are spendy but claim to also help brain abscess get rescued from problem attacking teeth . His cure is for a smaller problem than the one I am up against, but with God all things are possible and I have faith. Blessings to you and your teeth, the truth that we know can set us free, Charity
Clove Oil
I recently had a crown replace and now the remaining tooth, under the new crown, is very sensitive. The dentist said use sensitive toothpaste or get a root canal. The sensitive toothpaste uses fluoride, which I would rather avoid. Any suggestions? The new crown is all some sort of composite material, no metal, that they milled in the office while I waited. I've been using clove oil, but it's not really convenient to carry about to work, etc, and doesn't really solve the problem. Is there a way to desensitize the nerve?

Hydrogen Peroxide

Warning
Hydrogen peroxide on sensitive teeth is pure torture! I DO NOT recommend this as a treatment!

One of the downsides to hydrogen peroxide is that it has a pH of 3.5, which is fairly acidic. The saliva that normally bathes the teeth is in a range of 6.2 to 7.6 or a fairly neutral range. Rinsing the mouth with baking soda water once the hydrogen peroxide treatment is done may offer some help. Baking soda has a pH of of approximately 8.3 which has the potential to rapidly neutralize the remaining HP on the teeth after the HP treatment.
This is why I suggest rinsing your mouth with baking soda water after drinking Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) because it also has a low pH of 2 - 3.
To give a little more perspective, the human stomach has a pH range of 1.5 to 3.5 and is quite useful for breaking down the food we eat.

Very good information, Art. Thanx. Did not know that. The Apple cider vinegar that's always being suggested is probably not a good idea neither and will probably burn as bad.
Thank you, Bev!
Ted used to mention ACV/Baking Soda mixture. That would neutralize the acid defore drinking and make the taste slightly more palatable while conserving the bodies natural bicarbonate stores. All good things imo.

Lettuce
Romaine lettuce is excellent for sensitive teeth and rebuilding enamel. Any greens, really, for the matter will help. Chew about a head of lettuce a day, organic preferred, for about a week or so. I've done this and it has helped my teeth tremendously. There is also a wonderful toothpaste called coral white that has all natural ingredients and will help build and strengthen your teeth.
Mi Paste, Apaguard, Vitamin K2
If your teeth are sensitive, it means they need remineralizing.
mi paste remineralizes your teeth. if your teeth are sensitive, your teeth need to be remineralized. you can buy it from place in canada ...www.mountainside-medical.com
Apaguard is best tooth paste I have come across. It is made in Japan and remineralizes. It took 2 weeks to arrive in US.
It takes 3-4 weeks to remineralize initialliy with MI Paste so get two of them. I put on 2 or 3 times a day but better is to let some stay on while you sleep. The saliva activates it.
Vitamin K2 Mk7 or MK4 will help with remineralizing too. Add some vitamin D and A just to be sure. MK7 research indicates it should work. MK4 was wesson prices X factor. MK7 wasn't around back then. I believe it opens up the microtubules of circulation in teeth for K2 nutrient nourishment.
Best things is to heal one's teeth with things like mi paste to seal teeth.
spray xylitol mints to kill the strep mutans, don't eat it like candy or you may have gastrointestinal stress. a tiny bit is ok since the body actually produces a tiny amount itself...
hyaluronic acid with water on empty stomach to regenerate the gums etc. I used doctor best brand collagen, hyaluronic, chondroitin combination.

I have used both the toothpaste and mipaste. Both excellent!
My dentist commented on how smooth my teeth were and that was from mipaste! Warning: contains dairy if you are sensitive.
Amazon has very good xylitol toothpastes without any extra flavors that are good for sensitive teeth.

I use Spy mints Xylitol to kill streptococcus mutans. I dissolve a few tablets in mouth and let them feed on it.
Vitamin C
I found, accidentally, that taking vitamin c on a regular basis cured the sensitivity of my teeth.
