Hello,
Choosing a desensitizing tooth paste depend on your degree of tooth wearing and the amount of sensitivity. You should start with a very basic one like plain sensodent , apply for 10-15 minutes, do it for two times daily for at least 1 week.
If you did not feel relief from that then you should visit your dentist as he will examine the tooth and then prescribe you what is needed, as without proper examination just experimenting with anything is not done.
Hope it will help you
Thank you
