I have tooth sensitivity. Are there any over-the-counter products you recommend to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce sensitivity to hot and cold?

Yes, there are several over-the-counter products that can help with tooth sensitivity:
1. **Desensitizing Toothpaste**: Brands like Sensodyne or Colgate Pro-Relief contain compounds that block the nerves inside your teeth, reducing sensitivity.
2. **Fluoride Gel or Rinse**: Strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity by replenishing minerals in the teeth.
3. **Toothpaste with Calcium Phosphate**: Helps remineralize enamel, which can reduce sensitivity over time.
Make sure to follow the instructions and use them regularly for the best results.
