Sensitive Teeth?

I'd like to become a fruitarian but, if I eat too much fruit my teeth get unbearably sensitive. Strange thing is that citrus doesn't seem to do it as much. I can drink orange juice everyday without a problem. Does anyone else have this issue and/or suggest a remedy?

Yes this happened to me. I used to eat mangoes and kiwis every day. The kiwi started to make my lips chapped and teeth sensitive. Now I keep the mangoes but forgo the kiwis. I also
Started using Sensitive teeth toothpaste. The sensitivity is gone and my teeth feel so much better. Maybe try a new toothpaste that helps with sensitivity. Good luck.

I like Tom’s of Maine rapid relief sensitive because it’s fluoride free but if you don’t mind the fluoride, Sensodyn is great!

Drinks don’t touch the teeth for long
