I've done a bit of search but have not found anything on the forum in regards to this. Since the surgery I can't eat/drink anything really cold or hot because my front teeth are really sensitive. Should I try flouride treatment? any other suggestions? Thanks and sorry for the bombardment of questions the last few days eek
Oh and I didnt have any radiation- the only threads I've found are in relation to radiation therapy

I had problems with my teeth but that was due to radiation damage. Not sure what else could be causing your sensitivity.
