that fluoride, likely when used in moderation, can be beneficial. But what about when fluoride is used as a compound on sensitive
teeth? Can the mineral, when applied directly to the teeth, actually serve as a desensitizing agent? Though this is a valid question
there are, surprisingly, not a whole lot of studies done on this particular issue - and some of the information that is actually out there in this regard is more
anecdotal than scientific. But there are reasons why, if used in moderation, some types of fluoride pastes, gels and varnishes could actually help desensitize teeth that tend to hurt. In
