I have been fluoride free in 'toothpaste' for around 2 years now. I was recently at the dentist office and used a home teeth whitener from them
called Opalescence I believe. Well the dentist recommended I only use toothpaste with fluoride while whitening my teeth. I didn't want to at first,
but eventually I bought Tom's toothpaste with fluoride. So I started using it half way through the two week whitener. That's when my tooth started
feeling really sensitive and I could feel anything slightly cold or hot. I thought I would switch back to Jason's, Kiss My Face, or even Tom's
without fluoride and did go back to using two of them. One in the day and one in the night. I then tried the Tom's with fluoride again to see if it
would feel the same. For me it made my nerve or tooth sensitive again. Since then I gave up on using fluoride toothpaste with the whitener as my
dentist suggested and have not regretted it. Those two years before all this were as good as now using non-fluoride toothpaste. Sorry, i'm at work
and have to go, but wanted to say what I experienced.
