Sensodent-K Medicated Dental Cream 120gm

• It works by calming the nerve fibres in the teeth.
• The toothpaste helps block the pain sensation from the tooth surface to the nerve, thus making them irresponsive to external stimuli like hot, cold or sugary drinks, brushing, and scaling.
• It also prevents cavity formation.

Apply an inch of the strip of toothpaste on a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush your teeth for at least a minute. Spit out after use and thoroughly rinse your mouth with water.

FAQ

Question: How does the Sensodent-K Medicated Dental Cream work?

Answer: Sensodent-K Medicated Dental Cream consists of Potassium nitrate, a desensitizing agent. It calms the nerve fibres in the teeth and blocks the pain sensation from the tooth surface to the nerve, thus making them irresponsive to the external stimuli that cause tooth sensitivity.

Question: What is dentinal hypersensitivity?

Answer: Dentinal hypersensitivity is characterized by a short and sharp pain caused when the dentin (a part of the tooth under the enamel) is exposed to external stimuli like hot, cold or sugary drinks, brushing, and scaling.

Question: How can I relieve my tooth sensitivity?

Answer: Your dentist may suggest a potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride-based toothpaste to manage your tooth sensitivity and strengthen your tooth enamel. Reduce the intake of acidic foods and drinks that can wear down your enamel and cause sensitivity. Avoid hard brushing since it may lead to enamel loss and expose your inner layer of the tooth, leading to sensitivity. Try using a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush your teeth with gentle strokes.
