I have TMJ and sensitive teeth. Is this the best product for me?

I can't speak about TMJ but I have sensitive teeth and I don't have a problem. I would suggest you might try Sensodyne toothpaste which I have found helpful. I love my electric toothbrush and think you will too.

It is the mildest electric toothbrush that I have personally used. Maybe you could ask your dental hygienist for their recommendations too.

I too have TMJ and bouts with teeth sensitivity, however, I have had no issues using my Sonicare. My only issue is that it is loud when in use, but my teeth feel clean and healthy.

I've a Phillips Sonicare HX6063/64 toothbrush, which has only one adjustment speed. It's easy on my teeth and gums, but I also have a Phillips Sonicare Diamond/Clean 300 Series toothbrush, which provides 5 setting modes, including 'Sensitive'. If sensitivity is an issue, it would be a good choice. I like both models, however.

F.Y.I.: I'm a senior, and love this brush. My dentist recommends them, and at my age I am doing all I can to make sure I leave this world with all my teeth (so far so good!). The labeling says "designed specifically for preteens and teens" is because its fine to use with braces. Lots of kids (including my ten-year-old grand daughter) are getting braces well before they hit their teen years. Some electric brushes can damage braces because their brushing action is too violent. Sonicare works more by vibrating the plaque off than by actual brushing, so is fine for braces. I really think this little appliance is great, but be sure to use it the right way: Don't try to brush hard with it as if its a regular toothbrush; slowly pass it over your teeth (pausing at each area) and give it a chance to work. Its also very good for your gums. I think you'll like it.

Yes absolutely. Works great. Plus it's much more sensitive because it doesn't have the stretch like most line does so you can feel every bite you get.

I'm guessing you have a unique mouth or bite, so not certain if this will work or not. One benefit of the DenTek is the adjustability. I'm able to adjust it to were it's comfy to where it's holding my mouth too far open. While too far open isn't the most comfy, it might work to prevent your front teeth from grinding.

This is a good one. Also like MT brand. I don't buy the cheap ones, like below $20 simply b/c I don't want to take a chance on problems. How I clean mine: soak your roller w a denture tablet after use, in a plastic cup so you don't damage the needles;let air dry a couple days; cover it when completely dry, then 30 min in 70% alcohol before you use it the next time. Follow their directions for cleaning, but this is how I do it based on research on derma rollers. I derma roll regularly and it makes a difference, skin texture is finer, pores get smaller, acne pits smoothing out, crepe texture less, my skin is getting thicker. It is very slow, but hey in a year, if I didn't do something my skin would look a year older. This way, it is getting better. Good luck to you! BTW 1mm is a good safe length, follow directions. It shouldn't hurt, shouldn't bleed. It feels prickly. If it hurts or bleeds, you are pressing too hard. If your skin doesn't get red, you aren't pressing hard enough. Be careful around your eyes. I test to see if I am indeed breaking the skin by dabbing a little alcohol on a spot. If it stings you are doing it right. Do at night so redness will be gone by the time you get up. Also the little micro holes you are making are perfect for putting on collagen inducing products like vitamin C and something with retinol. I only use 2 products, and they make a huge difference. Your skin will soak up the C fast, straight to the dermis, which is where collagen is produced. Collagen means tightening. After 15 months of rolling you'll have a whole new network of collagen under your face!!! and we know what that's gonna do lol!! tighten up all those sags & lines!!! :)))) Don't roll over fever blisters (you'll spread them) and don't roll over moles, etc.

I have healthy teeth and gums as well. While the product was on my gums it hurt A LOT but went away within ~10 minutes after removal. Once I learned to use a smaller amount, there was no pain because it didn't come in contact with my gums. I'm sure everyone is a bit different. I teeth that are rather sensitive and the pain subsided quickly.

I had sensitive teeth to cold foods and my experience with this toothpaste was that it did help it. I had tried Other toothpastes made for sensitive teeth and found them to not help. What worked the best for me was giving up flouride in my tooth care products. Squigle toothpaste and Spry mouthwash have decreased my sensitivity a lot.

I believe so, but am not positive, as I don't have that problem. I did have issues with using this, though. Fine for 2 nights, then my jaw felt odd after the third night, so I stopped using it. So a waste of money for me.

this one has 5 choices for brushing, one is for sensitive teeth and one to massage gums. I have multiple issues and I love this toothbrush.My dentist and others recommended this one. You'll be happy.

For myself yes, though you will likely see better results with the more intense treatments (like the 1 hour strips). I chose this one because I know that my teeth are sensitive, so the effects are not as quick or dramatic, but it also does not cause me any discomfort.

If you value your teeth and brain cells I'd say yes! I had one of those simple ones for a few months and I can tell you: the comfort and ease of breathing is way better with this and the concussive impact when you get even a mild hit is reduced much better with a high quality mouthguard. also, with the ridge for the bottom teeth the jaw is protected a bit better.

Buy a toothpaste called fluoridex. You have to buy it on amazon or ebay. Not sold in stores. Use it for a week before you try the strips. It is specific for sensitive teeth.

I used a colgate sensitive toothpaste a couple days before I got this one, then almost overnight it was gone. I might have used Squigle 2 days. It sure didn't feel like it would do anything. But I am still using it just in case, sometimes I feel a little sensitive thing maybe starting once in a while, but then I brush my teeth and it's fine. Just unbelievable to me, cause I don't like doctors/dentist and probably wouldn't go. So I kept reading online what other people have done for home remedies. Xylitol seems to be the key, I also bought the mouthwash Crest for sensitive teeth and use it after the toothpaste once a day (sometimes I forget too). It had the xylitol in it too. Good luck! I hope this helps. I did see a similar toothpaste on Swanson Vitamins for half the cost of Squigle, so I was thinking of trying that one next. But I definitely recommend this SQUIGLE!!!

Absolutely! Great stuff - your teeth will really whiten and feel slippery-clean. I wouldn't use it aggressively every day, but once or twice a week it's really quite good!
