About this deal

Decide whether to go for SLS-Free. This is worth considering if you suffer from sore gums or ulcers. I go into more detail in my post on the best SLS-Free toothpastes. Yes, toothpastes formulated for sensitive teeth do work, but you may need to try different active ingredients to find one that works for you. Are there any other products that could help with sensitivity? Yes. Stannous fluoride can remove surface stains. Yet, because it doesn’t contain peroxide, it will not whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. Can I use this with whitening strips? BioMin – Calcium FluoroPhospho Silicate – a “bioactive glass” which essentially releases calcium and phosphate ions, also containing fluoride.

In case none of the products from our list above appeal to you, here are some additional sensitive toothpastes to consider. When it comes to using the Biomin F with fluoride and GC Tooth Mousse with fluoride I would recommend using the Biomin F for your regular brushing. That means brushing twice daily for two minutes. The manufacturers also recommend that after you finish brushing swirl the foamy toothpaste around your mouth for 30 seconds, and spit out the excess. Do not rinse, with anything, do not eat, and do not drink anything for at least 30 minutes after brushing. Use the Tooth Mousse directly before bed time. Massage a small amount onto the affected tooth.Although it prevents the message being passed on, it does not treat the cause of sensitivity, so you could develop sensitivity once again. 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.
