hello....first of all congrats on prefering bds as ur profession!!!!40 yrs is the age of start of sensitivity of the tooth .....sensitivity can be reduced by using different desensitising pastes as u did..... still if its not reducing it its better to do intentional root canal treatment to the teeth and place a fixed partial denture...hope you are benefitted by my reply.have a healthy and nice day!!
