I've been dealing with receding gums for a while now, and lately they've gotten super sensitive. Brushing my teeth feels like torture some days, you know? Anyway, I tried one of those toothpaste brands that's supposed to help with sensitivity (Sensodyne, if anyone's curious), and it actually seems to be helping a bit. Not perfect, but definitely less painful. Has anyone else tried this stuff or found something better?

Ugh, I totally feel you on this... gum sensitivity can be really rough. I've tried Sensodyne too, and it definitely helped me a bit, but honestly, what made the biggest difference for me was switching to a super soft-bristle toothbrush. It felt weird at first (like I wasn't brushing properly), but after a while, my gums calmed down a lot. Maybe worth giving it a shot if you're still struggling? Anyway, hang in there—I know how frustrating this stuff can be.
