Tag: sensitive teeth

My teeth are very sensitive to cold again. I had this happen when I was on thal/dex, and now again that I’m on rev/dex. When I breathe through my mouth, the air passing over my teeth makes them hurt. Even room temperature water is too cold for me. I’ve been drinking decaf coffee today with frothy soy milk. Is that a decaf soy latte?

I added this on 3/6/2010 after hearing from a patient whose husband is a dentist.

…the resident dentist wants me to add that he also recommends MI-Paste for sensitive teeth.  Use a fluoridated toothpaste (regular or Sensodyne) twice day.  After brushing, rub MI-Paste on the teeth and let it sit for 3 minutes.  http://www.mi-paste.com

A lot of people have mentioned that their teeth have become very sensitive after dx, but not one of us is sure what causes it. What we all have in common is tx with dexamethasone, thalidomide and Zometa. Mine seem to be getting worse, so I don’t think thalidomide is the culprit (I quit taking that almost a year ago). I can only have room temperature water, and today that was even too much. I’ll have to mention this to the docs at the IMF seminar. I’ll be sure to publish the answers to my questions here for anyone who’s interested. I’m going to call my dentist tomorrow to see what she can do about it, if anything.
