What hurts your teeth or your gums? IP shouldnt make either hurt. Your problem night not be related to ip at all. Have a dental check up, he will tell you whats going on in your mouth.
Sensodyne is good if you have receeding gums and your root is exposed. The toothpaste plugs the openings of the dentinal tubuals and stops the pain. It takes 6 weeks before it works and you usually need to use it each day after that. There is a new colgate toothpaste for sensitive teeth that works right away but you need to use it each time you brush. If these toothpastes dont solve your problem then there is another reason for the pain. Sometimes when a few teeth beside each other hurting like in the upper arch it could be a sinus problem, the bottom of the sinus cavity touches the root tips, so many times we get toothaches with a cold. Easiest way to check if its sinus , when you bend over does it feel like your head is going to explode with pain, then its sinus and not teeth. But then again you could have dental problems same time as a sinus cold so best bet to check with your dentist.
