I'd like a considered opinion on how often you should have full-mouth X-rays,

Now I want to get full permanent implants as opposed to the mini-implants

I am about to do an implant on #8 (upper molar). I've read up way back

Do de-sensitizing toothpastes (Sensodyne, etc.) really work?  If so,
how?  Are chemicals absorbed by the teeth or do they instead enter the
gums and into the nerves?  How long do they take to be effective (assume
the teeth are brushed one per day)?  Does sensitivity return when ...
