Oral care can be a drag, even on the best of days. And if you have sensitive teeth and gums, even something as basic as daily brushing can be a pain — literally. In previous reporting on caring for sensitive teeth, Cosmetic Dentist Dr. James Heaton recommended switching to a toothpaste containing “potassium nitrate” — a government-studied “desensitizing agent” used to reduce tooth sensitivity as it cleans.
Users call this desensitizing, whitening toothpaste “the real deal” for lessening tooth pain and temperature sensitivity.
A quick look through the thousands of 5-star ratings, and you’ll see — not all toothpastes are built equal. Many call this option from Sensodyne the only one they’ll use, noting the “worth every penny” formula is “one of those products where you truly do get what you pay for.”
After a negative experience with whitening toothpaste that was “stripping away enamel after multiple years of consistent use,” reviewer M. Hayden was left with “a couple of extremely cold-sensitive spots on my front teeth (not due to cavities).” When looking into different toothpastes to “protect and restore enamel,” they found this option from Sensodyne.
“I gave it a try and literally within 3-4 months, my cold-sensitive spots were completely gone without any treatment from a dentist, they continue. “I usually don’t buy into marketing hype or products backed by a bevy of ‘paid professionals’; in this case, however, Sensodyne Pronamel is the real deal, and I will never use anything else.”
