Flouride from toothpaste flare

I am baffled at this. I have been able to drink tap water while out to eat and before my floxing became severe at 5-6 months post cipro. At this point after MD tried to encourage a fast benzo taper and addition of ADs. To make it blunt I used flouride mouthwash and toothpaste many times the first 4 months of being floxed and it never did anything like this.

I have had teeth issues and am now 18 months post flox. I decided to try sensodyne toothpaste that I had used for years. I needed up using it 3 times and after the first night it caused an intense flare idk why I continued to use the next day for brushing but it had made nearly every symptom I ever had the worse it’s ever been. I’m so confused as the amount of Flouride ide get from brushing and spitting/rinsing would be less than a glass of water and I’ve had multiple glasses of tap water in the past and even 1-3 glasses a day for a week straight in Daytona for vacation with no flare.

I’m in disbelief that this small amount of toothpaste could cause such a flare but I am looking for hope from others that this will pass despite it being the worse flare I’ve ever had.
