Dental products for sensitivity | Recommended by Dentist

Desensitizing toothpaste| sensitivity

Desensitizing toothpaste is formulated with active ingredients such as potassium nitrate, strontium chloride, or stannous fluoride.

These compounds work by occluding or blocking the dentinal tubules, reducing fluid movement and nerve stimulation in the dentin.

You can use any of the below-mentioned toothpaste containing desensitizing agents for sensitivity in teeth. All the products are dentist recommended and can be used daily.

This helps alleviate tooth sensitivity by reducing the transmission of pain signals.

Chemical ingredients or agents found in desensitizing toothpaste for dentin hypersensitivity include:

1. Potassium Nitrate

Potassium nitrate is the most commonly used desensitizing agent. It helps block the nerve impulses in the tooth, reducing sensitivity.

In the market, Potassium nitrate-containing toothpaste comes under 3% and 5%.

Soft-bristled toothbrush| Sensitivity

A soft or extra soft-bristled toothbrush is recommended for individuals with sensitive teeth.
The soft, gentle bristles effectively remove plaque and debris without causing additional enamel wear or gum irritation
Brushing with medium or hard-bristled brushes can cause the gum tissue to recede, exposing the sensitive root surfaces of the teeth.
Over time, aggressive brushing with a medium or hard-bristled toothbrush can wear down the protective enamel layer, making your teeth more prone to sensitivity and decay.
The brush head may have a compact design to ensure better access to all areas of the mouth.

Fluoride mouthwash| sensitivity

Fluoride mouthwashes contain fluoride ions, which promote remineralization of the tooth enamel. This remineralization process helps strengthen the enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. The mouthwash is typically used as a rinse after brushing and flossing to deliver the fluoride to the tooth surfaces.

Flurosid mouthwash
