About this deal

The Sensodyne Daily Care range includes four different varieties: Original, Gentle Whitening, Extra Fresh, Deep Clean. They all contain Potassium Nitrate and so are all equally effective at reducing your sensitivity. The ingredients lists are largely the same, apart from: Gentle Whitening variety includes Pentasodium Triphosphate and Alumina to help reduce stains, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (a foaming agent) Damage at the gum line caused by over brushing. This can cause both gum recession to expose the dentin and also wears away the enamel on the tooth surface, to expose dentin.

All Sensodyne toothpastes contain either stannous fluoride or potassium nitrate and are useful if you suffer from sensitive teeth. Can sensitive toothpaste cause sensitive teeth? Avoid over brushing. Being mindful of how you brush to make sure you do not press too hard with the brush. Using an electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor can help to monitor this. Although it prevents the message being passed on, it does not treat the cause of sensitivity, so you could develop sensitivity once again. The table below shows which pastes contain Stannuous Fluroide, and which ones contain Potassium Nitrate. Stannous FluorideDifferent 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. You may want to avoid stannous fluoride containing toothpastes if you are concerned about staining. Generally, stannous fluoride is linked to staining on teeth, also manufacturers claim they can reduce this effect with the correct formulation. Arginine is an essential amino acid, actually found naturally within the body. However the doses found in saliva are much lower than those found in toothpastes. If you are getting a lot of sensitivity from one tooth I would recommend you see a dental professional who can exclude any problems with the tooth. They might also be able to offer treatments, depending on the cause of the sensitivity, such as applying a professional varnish, or repairing the tooth with filling material. Any advice I give is without assessing you and doesn’t replace advice given by your own dentist. Ultimately, tooth sensitivity is caused by exposed dentin tubules (the nerves that sense pain lie within these parts of the tooth). A change in hot/cold/pH etc causes movement of the nerve within the tubule, which causes a pain signal to be sent to your brain.

There is no need to use Sensodyne with Novamin in addition to the Biomin F. However if you are still getting sensitivity after 2-4 weeks of using Biomin F, you could try using the Sensodyne instead. Sensodyne is known for its sensitivity toothpastes, but they use two different active ingredients: stannous fluoride or potassium nitrate. I have included Sensodyne Daily Care here as it is one of the cheapest potassium nitrate containing toothpastes. Dental treatment: Tooth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity. Professional cleaning and fillings can also lead to sensitivity. Take home pastes. Contain stronger concentrations of ingredients, or ingredients not available in normal stores.In case none of the products from our list above appeal to you, here are some additional sensitive toothpastes to consider.
