What is hyperesthesia?
To understand how Sensodyne toothpaste works for sensitive teeth, you first need to talk about the hypersensitivity of the teeth. If a person’s teeth cannot safely tolerate external stimuli, this is considered abnormal. Doctors call this condition hyperesthesia. Its main symptom is short-term acute pain. Most often it occurs due to the use of food of a certain temperature or taste.
Tooth oversensitivity occurs frequently as a result of chemical bleaching enamel, removal of tartar, as well as the use of lemon, sour drinks, sauces and other products. As the development of hyperesthesia leads to increased erasure of enamel, sometimes there are injuries, hereditary disorders, certain defects of teeth.
Experts distinguish three degrees of hyperesthesia:
- The first degree at which pain in the teeth occurs when eating cold and hot food.
- Second degree This condition may be caused by temperature or biochemical irritants.
- Third degree The most severe form of the disease, in which painful discomfort to a person is caused by all known stimuli.
Toothpaste "Instant effect" is shown to patients with the first and second degree of hyperesthesia, but in the case of its appointment with the third degree this may not be enough. The desired effect can be achieved only with additional events.
Characteristics and features
Paste "Sensodyne Instant Effect" has fairly modest design. On the tube provides a brief information about the main disease, the reasons for its occurrence, the principle of the drug and instructions for use. The medicinal paste tube itself is made of laminate, which allows you to squeeze out all the contents to the last gram without much effort. A wide cap is convenient enough to hold the tube upright. When it is installed in this position, the paste begins to flow into the hole area itself.
Consumers who have had experience using toothpaste, mark it white color and the presence of menthol odor. While cleaning, it does not create a fluffy foam, but at the same time provides a pleasant effect of freshness. The content of the tube has a low-abrasive structure, so do not count on the whitening effect.The main task of the paste is to clean the teeth from plaque. Taking into account the peculiarities of its action, it is not recommended to brush your teeth before eating with Sensodyne, because then it blocks the taste buds of the tongue.
How to use?
The necessary information about the correct application is given on the packaging and tube. In accordance with the instructions of the instructions, apply toothpaste "Sensodyne Instant Effect" can children over the age of 12. To do this, you need to squeeze out the required amount of the contents on the toothbrush and apply to the surface of the teeth, and after finishing the cleaning, rinse the mouth thoroughly. The manufacturer pays special attention to the fact that you can not swallow the paste. It is also necessary to follow the schedule of use: you can use it no more than 2 times a day.
If the teeth have a high threshold of sensitivity, then instead of the usual cleaning, you can apply the application of the paste with your fingers. To do this, you need to squeeze out the required amount of paste, smear it over the surface of the teeth closer to the gums, since it is in these areas that the enamel thickness is minimal. Usually the paste begins to act in a minute. To achieve the maximum effect from the use of paste, according to reviews, it must be applied within one month.
The composition of the paste
If you carefully examine the packaging and tube, then you can see information about the composition of the toothpaste Sensodin. True, not everyone can understand this information.
Harmless ingredients
Try first decipher componentsnot dangerous for human health.
-
Water (aqua). - Sugar substitute sorbitol (sorbitol). Known additive that is widely used in cooking. Harm to the teeth is not provided except in cases when it enters the body in large quantities.
- Glycerol. This substance is of two types: made from natural ingredients or artificially obtained. Used to maximize the freshness of the paste.
- Silicic acid (hidrated silica). Raw materials for it are natural minerals. In fact, it is an abrasive, which has a mild effect on the enamel, removing plaque from it. The benefit of silicic acid is to give the paste a viscosity.
- Mild surfactant. For its manufacture is used coconut milk. It has a mild cleansing effect.
- Sweetener (sodium saccharin). An additive that does not pose any harm to health.
- Natural flavoring (limonene). Another safe ingredient that is made from citrus.
- Artificial flavoring (aroma). Due to its presence in the composition of the paste acquires a specific taste and smell, makes the breath fresh. But not all experts share the opinion that this substance is safe for health.
Dangerous ingredients Sensodyne
Paste "Instant Effect" for sensitive teeth and contains a number of components that can lead to the emergence of serious health problems:
-
Thickener E415, or xanthan gum (xanthan gum). Experts suggest that this supplement can cause stomatitis in humans. If she can get into the stomach, she can cause diarrhea, pain, bouts of vomiting and nausea. - Titanium white, or titanium dioxide (titanium dioxide). The substance that causes the white color of the paste. If this component enters the stomach, as it spreads through the body it can cause liver and kidney diseases. In the composition of the paste is used as an additional thickener.
- Strontium Acetate clogging tubules in dentin (strontium acetate). A number of buyers formed the opinion that strontium is a radioactive substance that can provoke cancer. In fact, only its isotopes that have a negative effect on the body can be radioactive — they cause bone destruction, fibrosis and other serious diseases.Worry about strontium salts is only in the event that they enter the body in an amount exceeding the permissible norms. Strontium acetate plays an important role in the composition of the paste - due to it tooth sensitivity is reduced.
- Parabens are sodium propilparaben and methylparaben. These substances do not allow bacteria to multiply, as well as the fungus. They also have antiseptic and fungicidal properties. This speeds up the healing process of the gums. It is believed that parabens are hazardous to health due to the fact that they can provoke cancer and hormonal disorders. This assumption was confirmed by studies related to the study of breast cancer in women who regularly used antiperspirants with this substance. But so far it has not been possible to obtain confirmation that the parabens that make up the toothpastes are unsafe for health.
Fluorine
This element, which is contained in many pastes, including the “Sensodyne Instant Effect”, I want to pay special attention. Sodium fluoride (sodium fluoride) is present here to prevent bacteria from producing acids that cause the destruction of tooth enamel and create a special protective layer that prevents the mineral elements from washing out of the teeth. The use of fluoride is also in the fact that it helps reduce tooth sensitivity and provides the best protection against caries.
There are countries where fluoride is used not only as an additive in toothpaste. Sometimes you can detect in the composition of water and milk. However, this is not practiced everywhere; in most countries, this use of fluoride is prohibited. But in any case, if fluorides enter the body in small quantities, they are beneficial. If their concentration in the oral cavity exceeds a critical level, then this causes the development of fluorosis, which leads to the destruction of enamel. And over time, you can even lose a tooth.
Also, these substances are dangerous because they are toxic and negatively affect mental abilities. Toothpaste “Instant effect” in very rare cases can cause serious problems, since it contains all substances, including sodium fluoride, in such an amount that the harm from them is minimal. In order to avoid a negative effect, it is recommended to follow the instructions exactly, and there it is indicated that the paste can be used no more than 3 times a day.
Brushes brand "Sensodyne"
In addition to toothpaste, the manufacturer has managed to develop for people with hypersensitive teeth and a brush that provides mild cleansing effect. The Sensodyne brush has a modest, but at the same time practical design: the whole structure consists of a rigid handle and a head with bristles. All details are carefully thought out, which makes the use of a brush as efficient as possible.
The handle has a rubberized insert, so the brush is securely fixed in the wet hand. It has a small head, thanks to which it is possible to remove plaque from hard-to-reach areas of the oral cavity. According to the reviews, not only adults, but also children can use these brushes. There is no doubt in the effectiveness of soft villi - they perfectly perform their functions for cleaning enamel. Today, the manufacturer offers Sensodin brushes in two categories: Soft and Extra soft.
Reviews
I had problems with my teeth for a long time, and finally, I decided to follow the advice of my friends and bought toothpaste. Sensodyne with fluorine. After the first application, I felt the changes - I immediately lost an unpleasant smell, I began to feel comfort in my mouth. I also noticed an extraordinary cleansing effect. I really liked it even despite the high price. I used to brush my teeth with LACALUT sensitive, PRESIDENT, SPLAT. At one time, they arranged for me, but now I’m completely satisfied with the Sensodyne paste and I’m not going to change it for something else.
With the Sensodin toothpaste, I am familiar with advertising, but at that moment I didn’t really believe her.And although now the summer and so pulls to eat cold ice cream and drink some water, I have to deny myself that. I decided to try this toothpaste, and after only one day drank cold water. Pasta struck me, now I will only use it. Not only does it do its job very well, it’s also inexpensive.
I have to say that this toothpaste did not meet my expectations. Now I will look for her replacement. I gave her so much money, and she disappointed me. It would be better if I spent them on 3-4 tubes of ordinary pasta. In any case, I would know what to expect from them. As for me, this is just a promotional move by the manufacturer, but in fact it’s all a hoax.
