Marcus Holme #1 / 8	sensitive tooth near front teeth when brushing Hi guys, I've recently noticed that the tooth to the left of my two front teeth is sensitive when I brushing. I looked at it and there is a slight discoloration near the gun line and if I touch that directly it hurts. Any idea what this could be? Is it cause by brushing too hard? I brush twice daily.. don't flosh as often as I should, but rinse before brushing with Listerine often. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Marcus

Dr. Stev #2 / 8	sensitive tooth near front teeth when brushing It could be any one of a number of things which might include gum recession, decay, thin enamel, missing enamel, chipped tooth, tartar, {filter} clot, surface stain, etc. Go get it evaluated by a dental professional (in person) before it becomes a big problem. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ This posting is intended for informational or conversational purposes only.

Dave & Rachae #3 / 8	sensitive tooth near front teeth when brushing Good advice to go and see a dental professional, but whenever I've mentioned anything similar, the dentist (seen 2 due to relocation) always says, 'well I can't see anything wrong' or similar, and the tooth has been sensitive at the gumline on one side for a couple of years (no fillings in the tooth yet). Toothpaste for sensitive teeth doesn't help either.

Steven Bornfel #4 / 8	sensitive tooth near front teeth when brushing I find that for hypersensitivity of this type, a couple of applications of 5% NaF varnish (Duraphat, Colgate Palmalive) usually gives good relief.

Dr. Stev #5 / 8	sensitive tooth near front teeth when brushing Not everyone will agree with me,,,,,, but I would start with an NTI device and rule out clenching and bruxism. Assuming that there is no visible pathology. Only a dental professional who evaluates you in person can make the proper decision. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ This posting is intended for informational or conversational purposes only.

Gina Camero #6 / 8	sensitive tooth near front teeth when brushing I would use an ultra soft toothbrush and brush on an angle up from the gumline instead of a scrubbing motion. Sometimes sensitivity toothpastes help as well as a fluoride rinse (availible at the {filter}tore) Some of out patients find this helps. good luck!

Dave & Rachae #7 / 8	sensitive tooth near front teeth when brushing I do grind my teeth in the night sometimes, but not on the sensitive tooth. I can rarely seem to get a comfortable bite when my teeth drop together when I go to sleep. The dentist has said the overall bite looks OK.
