A short, sharp pain from the tooth in response to being exposed to hot and cold, or sometimes to sweet and spicy foods. Sometimes the sensitivity also occurs when the tooth is touched, e.g. when brushing the teeth. What causes tooth sensitivity? As a sensitivity relief toothpaste, Repair and Protect’s main goal is to target sensitive areas by repairing the dentin and forming a shield against further damage. Sensodyne Repair & Protect has an Extra Fresh and Cool Gel mint flavor, which freshens breath and helps teeth to feel cleaner. While many people opt for a mint toothpaste, it may cause burning in those adverse to mint flavors.The ADA suggests brushing twice daily and no more than three times a day. How does Sensodyne make my teeth less sensitive? You need to give it a couple of weeks for the effect of strontium chloride to build up before it can take full effect, and then continue to use it even if the symptoms improve.

In terms of managing the sensitivity with toothpastes, you will need to give whatever paste you are using some time to work – about 2-4 weeks. If you are still getting symptoms after this it might be because the product isn’t working for you and then it is time to try something different. To put it bluntly, there isn’t one single best Sensodyne toothpaste. Other than two different active ingredients, there isn’t an awful lot of difference in the formulations, but there may be a big change in price. This is not a whitening toothpaste. Although, Sensodyne contains stannous fluoride which can lift artificial surface stains on the tooth. However, Sensodyne offers other whitening products designed for those with sensitive teeth. How soon can I expect results? Glycerin, PEG-8, hydrated silica, pentasodium triphosphate, sodium lauryl sulfate, flavor, titanium dioxide, polyacrylic acid, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium saccharin. For best results, brush twice daily. Results will likely show within 1 to 2 weeks of use. Can this product remove stains?Hypersensitivity occurs when the tooth’s dentin layer is exposed. Also known as cavities, these holes result from breakdown caused by acidic or sugary foods . Hot and cold foods cause discomfort by entering the holes and reaching the tooth’s nerves.

Using a sensitive toothpaste may not be necessary if you only experience occasional sensitivity, but it is generally safe and effective. The main downside is that they tend to be more expensive than a regular toothpaste. While brushing twice daily is important to keep teeth and gums healthy, tooth sensitivity is a rising problem. Roughly 1 in 8 adults suffer from sensitivity. With this in mind, protection is a vital factor when choosing which toothpaste to commit to long term. So, what makes a good toothpaste? Different toothpastes do have different active ingredients for sensitivity. You need to give them a couple of weeks to see if they do have an effect.
