Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Ask your surgeon or your ortho what help they can suggest. some folks just seem to have teeth that are more sensitive than others. Some surgeons want you to do exercises (if opening is any part of the problem). Others do not. Some people have also suggested sensodyne toothpaste, which, as I understand it, has a cumulative effect, so don't give up on it if you've used it only once or twice and see no results. It must be frustrating, I know. Cammie > > OK, I have a problem and questions. I am 12 weeks post and I still > am having a hard time eating. what are you all eating so soon after > surgery?
