Every morning when I drink coffee, my teeth tingle. I just started Sensodyne, but it hasn't helped yet. How long does it take?

It's important to know that the full effects of Sensodyne may not show up right away if you've just started taking it and haven't noticed any relief from the tingling when drinking coffee.
Sensodyne says that for some types of sensitivity, the pain can go away in as little as three days, but it can take up to four weeks for the full effects to show. Because of this, you need to be patient and let the toothpaste do its thing.
Also, make sure you're using the right formulation of Sensodyne toothpaste for your sensitivity problem. Sensodyne has different formulas for different kinds of sensitivity, like being sensitive to cold, heat, or sweetness. If you use the wrong formula, it might not work to target the tingling feeling that comes from drinking coffee.
If the tingling doesn't go away after a few weeks of using Sensodyne, you should talk to your dentist. They can figure out why you are sensitive and suggest other ways to fix the problem. This could include prescription-strength toothpaste, dental treatments to get to the root of the problem, or more personalized suggestions on how to effectively ease your pain.
