Sensitive Teeth After Puking

[Broseph]

I was ill a few days ago and spent a large amount of time puking (Just acidic liquid) which was caused presumably by me drinking lots of water but now my teeth are very sensitive and painful when I'm eating I think due to the acid stripping away my teeth layers.

How do I sort this out?

Use Sensodyne toothpaste.

Thanks tilly2,you just reminded me that I have half a tube upstairs.

After vomiting always rinse mouth thoroughly and don't brush for a while - as above now gentle brushing with a good sensitive toothpaste should help it settle.

Quite correct.

Don't brush your teeth for a couple of days and take an antacid....e.g Gaviscon.

Wish I'd seen this a few days ago! I was wondering why my teeth seemed sensitive but I was sick last week! Have already been brushing them but with Biotene Toothpaste (special for dry mouths) and special Mouthwash too. That will explain it! Been on lots of Gaviscon.

Hope you are feeling better now Broseph.
