Brief Answer: Abrasion, senstivity. Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to Healthcare magic. This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query. I have gone through your query, as you are using various toothpastes , and tooth powder on alternative days see what I will suggest you that there is no such serious effect but as you are using Sensodyne toothpaste and Dabur Lal powder , for this I like to suggest you some facts. -Sensodyne toothpaste is Not harmful but it is for Senstivity in tooth . -If you have senstivity to any cold , hot , sour , sweet then Sensodyne is good to use . Secondly as you are using Dabur Lal powder, it contains some abrasive agents which cause Abrasion of Enamel ( first layer of tooth ). It has developed senstivity in some my patients. So, I will suggest you that you can use Toothpaste Closeup , Colgate whitening toothpaste . -You can Do Chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily. -Use waxed dental floss to maintain good Oral hygiene. Hope I answered your query, If you have further query feel free to ask, I will be happy to help. Regards, Dr. Priyanka tiwari.
