Toothpaste Promiscuity
Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 10:03AM There are people who have exposed tooth roots who need to use a desensitizing toothpaste like Sensodyne or Colgate for Sensitive Teeth to reduce their hot/cold pain flashes.
De-Sensitizing Tooth Paste
All these desensitizing toothpastes have to be used for a couple of weeks to calm the teeth.
All these desensitizing toothpastes use different ingredients to calm the teeth.
If you switch your brand of toothpaste, the new brand will remove the protection afforded by the abandoned toothpaste.
--and your hot/cold flashes will return, until the new toothpaste ingredients build up to give you the protection.
So, pick a desensitizing toothpaste that has a good flavor and stick with it.
You won't have dependable relief if you are promiscuous in your use of desensitizing toothpastes.
