Q.
Just under two weeks ago I started using listerine mouthwash to help keep my teeth and gum clean. Seemed fine at first but I have now developed annoying and painful tooth sensivity, which i have not had a problem with before using listerine. Could they be related. Do you know of any patients that have had experience with this?

I have never heard of Listerine creating tooth sensitivity. It is an alcohol based mouthrinse and can as a result of this cause the mouth to become more dry. I recommend non-alcohol based mouthrinses in my practice.
