As someone who used to work with teeth, I suggest gentle brushing using a desensitising toothpaste like Sensodyne. Sometimes you can even smear it around the teeth with out actually brushing. Make sure you keep up your oral hygiene GENTLY or it will worsen. I am horrified by some brushing actions i see. Keep you toothbrush at a 45degree angle and gentle jiggle the brush at the spot where the tooth meets the gum. Of course don't forget all the other areas as well.

Good luck
Christine
