I guess u need to find out the root of the pain.
Time to visit dentist :)

Like what Angie said, yes drinking some water before bed after milk is good. But the best is reduce the milk intake. Nt easy.... Zach's crying for milk all the time!! Anyway brushing teeth is imprt lah.

Zach is better yes... But at night really shiong!

That is a HUGE cavity!

EEEWWWWWWwwwwwwww~!!!! early in the morning i saw this, just before my breakfast somemore. =(

Not 'A' but many !! Now you know why I need to action on it asap. Anyway Zach's recovering well now! :)

hahah Angie... scary huh?

that's good~! he'll be back to his bubbly self soon!! just buy him more thomas.. haha.

indeed it is... i'm more concerned about the pain zach is going through with all those cavities. ouch.

Got him Thomas at Airport before leaving. He's happy :) So excited. He's still on a antibiotic course now. Last night was the night he slept most peacefully! :) SO glad.

Oh no... he's crying now

Let's hope zach has a speedy recovery.. =)

I can understand how the poor kid, Zach, is feeling... when I had my toothache, I had sleepless nite everyday, everytime when u lie down onto bed, it starts salivating and the nerve breaking sensation refused to go away...

sorry siron to hijack ur thread, juz wanna "educate" some users here regarding dental issues... btw, I had toothache last week, saw the dentist last Friday, he took an X-ray and see nothing wrong with the tooth... he reckoned that it's an over-sensitive tooth, and suggested therapy (I'll explain more later) and if it doesn't work, I may consider root canal... with a sensitive tooth, the outer layer of the tooth had worn off, leaving the 2nd layer with some fine nerves... the therapy is simple, apply the toothpaste (those with a certain type of chemical to "patch" the hole) on the sensitive tooth for 5 minutes b4 rinsing it off... I'd tried the therapy, the 1st day, the tooth is still aching, the 2nd day, it feels better, the 3rd day, the pain is almost gone... so for those who have sensitive teeth like me, do try this therapy, it works, I'd used Sensodyne (not advert okay)

PS: hoping for a speedy recovery for Zach :)

Thanks cyc. Zach is all good! :) It was only after 8 days that he is finally not complaining of pain! 8 days was hard man. Cried and cried all night. hardly any good sleep. Well ... He's sleeping soundly now. :)

I have sensitive tooth too! I think I will try your recommendation! Twice a day?

dentist said do it at nite b4 u go to sleep, but I reckoned u can do it as often as u like... I did that a few times a day when I'm not working... rite now, the problematic tooth is not aching anymore and not affecting my sleep but I can still feel a bit of nerves when using that tooth to chew, so I'll continue to do the theraphy till it's completely back to normal... maybe my nerves' oready damaged? dunno :/

oh, so sensodyne really does work... haha. thanks cyc for the info !

Sensodyne works well for me... Oral B is pretty good too... for far, these are the only 2 brands that don't give my teeth problems... update on my theraphy : my problematic tooth is back to normal now, now I can bite and chew with it :)

I've got sensitive teeth too.. there're so many brands/ versions of toothpaste in the market so I didnt know which to choose, could only rely on ads shown and the packaging labels.. so I ended up trying Sensodyne - for sensitive teeth + whitening version. After finishing half a tube, it got worse!

Then after seeing my dentist, he told me that there's no such thing as a combined formula for both sensitive and whitening that would be effective! He advised that I should only use Sensodyne Original (the one in pink). He said the whitening component would only worsen the sensitivity condition! Well I've since switched to the original version and then the pain & sensitivity did reduce over time, but definitely not entirely gone yet.

I'm not sure what my dentist is true but based on personal experience, the original version definitely does work better for me :)

yup, my dentist didn't recommend Sensodyne whitening as well... he recommended Sensodyne Total... there were 4 Sensodyne type in the pamphlet, I'd asked him to recommend one, he looked at Whitening and said "nope, not this one", then he circled "Total", and said try this.

I have very sensitive teeth. My dentist recommended Elmex Sensitve with Aminfluoride and Elmex Sensitive mouthwash without alcohol. They work very well on me for years. These are for adults. Not sure if they are suitable for children and also don't know if they are available in sg.
