Long-lasting relief


Everyone doesn’t welcome crisp cold mornings. Those suffering from dental hypersensitivity can find this time of year challenging to say the least. Experienced by a wide cross- section of the population, most notably when eating or drinking cold or sweet food, or taking a gasp of cold air, hypersensitivity is caused by nerves which are stimulated in the dentine layer of teeth exposed by tooth wear or periodontal disease. A range of products are available to help, such as numbing products containing ingredients such as potassium nitrate to provide instant but temporary relief.


Other popular ingredients include strontium chloride, arginine and novamin, known to provide a temporary surface film over the exposed tubules until the next acid attack or vigorous brush.


Oral-B’s Pro-Expert All Around Protection toothpaste


brings long-lasting relief to thousands of dentine hypersensitivity sufferers thanks to the inclusion of stabilised stannous fluoride. This acts by partially or completely blocking the tiny dentinal tubules of which dentine is composed, thereby also blocking the stimuli causing the painful nerve impulses. Repeated use helps to build a strong barrier by occluding the tubules more and more, leading to a decrease in sensitivity.
