Hello!
I would like to ask about a tooth. I keep having problems with one of my lower back teeth: the tooth neck hurts, and this has been recurring for about 3 months. I was at the dentist 14 days ago, where she applied some medication; I think it got a little better, but after a few days the pain returned... I use an ordinary toothbrush and Sensodyne toothpaste for sensitive teeth. I would like to know whether it is really important to buy a Curaprox toothbrush and whether it will improve things. What do you suggest?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Kind regards, Mojca

Dear Sir/Madam!
Hypersensitivity of tooth necks to changes in temperature or osmotic pressure is quite a common problem. We manage it with special coatings and a correct brushing technique. I also recommend using special toothpastes that reduce hypersensitivity. Besides gum recession, tooth hypersensitivity may also be a consequence of other pathological processes affecting the tooth (dental caries...), so before making a final diagnosis all necessary diagnostic procedures must be carried out (clinical examination, X-ray imaging...).
Have a nice day!
