Eventually, I did go, and it was not out of curiosity, but because my teeth had suddenly developed an aversion to anything that was warm or cold. They (my teeth) especially hated it when I dared to switch from one temperature to the other \u2013 like ice cream to coffee or vice versa. Or more realistically for me, from hot pepper soup to cold water.&nbsp; My dentist confirmed that I had tooth sensitivity, and recommended that I use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogher.com\/clicktracker.php?nid=2425530&#038;cid=2270454&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2g3ZvTe\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sensodyne\u00ae&nbsp;Repair &amp; Protect<\/a> to help relieve my tooth sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12778\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Coffee-and-Ice-Cream.jpg\" alt=\"Coffee-and-Ice-Cream\" width=\"750\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Coffee-and-Ice-Cream.jpg 750w, https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Coffee-and-Ice-Cream-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I still remember going to the restaurant and being unable to enjoy one of my favorite desserts there: a chocolate molten cake. The cold ice cream and hot fudge just could not agree to be eaten in my mouth. Every bite I took was followed by pain that ate through my teeth and gave me what felt like the most intense brain freeze ever. I would grimace in pain and hold the side of my face that hid the dentist-diagnosed tooth sensitivity. It was rough.<\/p>\n<p>For whatever reason, we don\u2019t usually take sensitive teeth seriously.&nbsp; We know it hurts, but if it does not involve a root canal, we just figure that it cannot be that bad. And it does not help that the sensitivity is usually infrequent. One week you think you\u2019re dying and the next week you ask yourself, \u201cwhat sensitive teeth?\u201d I know this. I have been through this, and it isn\u2019t pretty.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of toothpastes out there, but in my opinion only one does what we sensitive teeth people need it to do:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogher.com\/clicktracker.php?nid=2425530&#038;cid=2270454&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2g3ZvTe\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sensodyne\u00ae&nbsp;Repair &amp; Protect<\/a>.
