Re: Sensodyne chewing gum?

No, rub the sensodyne into your teeth and leave it on, instead of
brushing it on. Don't rinse off.
You might find an electric toothbrush easier (a lot of people with a
bad gag reflex do). You don't have to use toothpaste if this makes you
gag.
You can use a fluoride mouthrinse like ACT rinse instead of a fluoride
toothpaste. Use last thing at night and don't rinse out.

Like most people, I hate to brush my teeth. I find the sensations
revolting, physically unpleasant. The brush in my mouth, the toothpaste
frothing about...gak. It usually makes me gag. Twice I have actually
vomited.

So, naturally, I avoid it as much as possible.

Thing is, the last time I was at my dentist he replaced a silver filling
with amalgam, and that tooth has been sensitive ever since. He told me
to use Sensodyne. So I do, whenever I brush, which isn't often enough
to make a difference with the sensitivity.

So what I need, and would like for one of you dentists to create really
soon, is a de-sensitizing chewing gum. I don't normally chew gum, but
if such a one existed I would chew it. Shouldn't be hard to make, a
couple of phone calls to GlaxoSmithKline and Wrigleys, zip zip, to
market we go.

Please?
