For those with painful tooth sensitivity, this works great.
Yes, I've tried other brands, including the infamous Sensodyne. Not much improvement, and my teeth always felt gritty afterward.
Tom's of Maine's Sensitive (Maximum Strength) worked really well for me. Just one use and I haven't had much sensitivity today.

I like Tom's though. Might try it just for something different.

(8,423 posts)I believe it is Nature's Desert (I think) that has a tea tree oil and ginger paste that did very well for pain and sensitivity.
The best for all around oral health I've found so far is Oralive
Organic Regenerative Energy Elixir
(Regular strength - Vegan)
livingearthbeauty.com/Oralive_Dental_Regenerative_Elixir_2_5_oz_p/ah002.htm
This nutritional energy elixir is made to help your body detoxify and heal itself naturally. Taken orally, the natural botanical ingredients are absorbed through the gum mucosa - a much more direct way of entering your bloodstream.
When you place a small dab on your tongue and swish it through your teeth, your saliva naturally activates many of the enzymes and unleashes a torrent of regenerative energetic healing vibrations in your mouth. Many of our clients prefer to use this as a replacement for their toothpaste.
However, note that this is purely intended as an energetically enhanced nutritional supplement absorbed through your gums. It is actually a combination of expensive nutritional supplements all rolled into one. They synergistically enhance each other to help your body detoxify and heal itself.
To start with, this is elixir is a living paste filled with enzymes, minerals and pro-biotics in the raw, natural state. There is nothing synthetic or artificial here, and everything put in it has been harvested ethically and sustainably. Since we are dealing with energetic healing, we pay close attention to the vibrations of how things are grown, collected, processed and packaged. Any energies connected with harsh chemical processing or harvesting carries onto our remedies.
The mixture of natural high energy mineral earths, activated herbal extracts, oxygen and marine phytoplankton make the elixir a healthy, charcoal earth tone. It is sweet and minty - quite delicious.
Secondly, this raw organic elixir is meant to be swallowed after you aborb the initial nutrients through your gum mucosa. We consider this a natural supplement that helps your body heal and stay healthy. We pack it full of powerful herbal essential oils and tissue regeneration factors not generally found in any product. The benefits of super green botanicals, marine phytoplankton alone are enough to use this as a dietary supplement.
If you want to save yourself $$$THOUSANDS of dollars in dental procedures (and lots of pain), then use this oral elixir. It is worth it - your satisfaction is guaranteed. We have several stories of people cancelling their root canals (due to bacterial infection) by just using our elixir for about 5 days.
In our humble opinion, this is the best herbal supplement offered in the world today to help alleviate gum disease pain. We believe it heals your mouth - once you try it and feel its tremendous energy, we think you will feel the same. We stake our reputation on it.
BENEFITS
Listed are benefits we have found through experience and testimonials. We are not making any promises or claims to prevent or treat disease and your personal results will vary. We believe in our results and present these beliefs to you here:
1. Whitens Teeth
Our elixir has powerful concentrated oxygen designed to kill the pain-causing anaerobic bacteria hiding under your gum line. But, as a side benefit - guess what? Pictures are worth a thousand words. Here is a photo from a testimonial:

2. Inhibits bacteria that cause cavities, plaque and gingivitis
We have powerful anti-microbial essential oils in the elixir proven scientifically to kill bacteria in clinical studies (e.g. Oregano Oil, Neem). We are getting testimonials with stories of dental cleanings that have the hygenists commenting on the lack of plaque and gingivitis in the mouth. Most people just feel that this is working.
3. Alleviates Gum Pain and Gum Bleeding
This elixir is designed to kill the cause of gum pain - infection, caused by bacteria and other microbes. We have found that it takes about 5-7 days to kill off enough of the populations to start deadening the pain. IF YOU HAVE MOUTH PAIN USE THIS TOOTHPASTE AND SWISH IT HARD BETWEEN YOUR TEETH FOR 5 MIN. This is designed to kill the pain. Dont let the dentist convince you that you need a root canal.
If you have severe, unrelenting gum and teeth pain - order our extra strength healing oil and gum disease elixirs. These are very concentrated and packed with pure, extraordinary essential oils and botanicals from the Amazon. We have designed the extra strength remedy to help your body alleviate pain within 24 hrs.
4. Eliminates bad breath
The taste of this elixir is fantastic - it has a lot of incredible minty energy that just explodes in your mouth. You can use it as a mouthwash during the day, just by swishing between your teeth and swallowing. The volcanic earth absorbs bad odors, even garlic.

***When I used this product, the taste was at first hard to get used to... But I eventually did, and it works very well, and also has so many fantastic ingredients, such as the phytoplankton, Anthaxanthin, Tumeric, etc...!
