Dentists have a variety of options for treating dental allergies, including office applications and home-use patient applications. If you are diagnosed with dentine hypersensitivity, dentists may use desensitizers or protective coatings. You may need to use stannous fluoride gels or over-the-counter desensitizing toothpastes that contain fluoride and potassium nitrate or strontium chloride. These ingredients help prevent sensory transmission from the teeth to the nerves. After brushing your teeth, using your fingers to massage the special paste on your gums may also help.
