Sensitive Teeth Are A Pain in the ....

I had my six month dental cleaning last week. It's not the most fun I can have in a day, but at least I do it. Unlike my husband (hint, hint). I'm not saying he doesn't brush - he just hasn't bothered to go the dentist in long, long time. I got a good report - no major troubles - just still have a very sensitive tooth that's been festering for a few years. It never seems to get better, just slightly worse each few years.

I've tried sensitive toothpaste before and haven't had much long-term success, or even short-term success having help the pain. I even stopped the little bit of tooth whitening I'd tried because it made the sensitivity much worse.

I recently got a chance to try a new product called Biotene Sensitive Toothpaste. It really made a difference in reducing tooth sensitivity right away. It has an effective ingredient in it, called Potassium Nitrate, along with Biotene’s patented Enzyme LP3 Complex™ to inhibit harmful bacteria growth found in oral infections and gingivitis. This makes it a one-of-a kind toothpaste which builds increasing protection against sensitivity while the it promotes healing of bleeding gums and irritation caused by a dry mouth. All I can say is that it is working for me when very little else did.

Now I don't have a dry mouth, but I saw a real difference immediately and intend to keep it in my medicine cabinet. It's nice to find something to resolve the tooth sensitivity, not just mask it. Maybe I'll be able to whiten my teeth again too! I wish I had had this in the past to help me, but now I'm just glad to have it.
