Sensodyne: Way to a brighter smile!

Tooth stains and yellowness on teeth are one of the major problems which create a hurdle towards a
bright smile. Tooth stains are caused by tea, coffee, and tobacco. The natural shade of teeth is an off-
white, bone color. Males have slightly less-whiter teeth than females which is due to a larger size and
more bulk of dentin. Some stains are permanent and they build up a layer which conceals the actual
color of the tooth. Sensitivity, on the other hand, occurs when the underlying surface called dentin (tiny
tubes which go from outside of the teeth to the dental pulp) is exposed, which makes the gums weak
enough to shield the enamel.

Toothpaste contains peroxide, charcoal, and silica which are considered to be the main whitening agents
which help to keep the smile bright.

Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

Whitening of teeth includes removing the layer of tartar and calculus from the enamel of teeth to bring
back the actual shade of the teeth. Whitening toothpaste removes the layer of yellowness and stain to a
slight extent. Some toothpaste contains chemical blue covarine which forms an apparition of whiter
teeth.

Desensitizing Toothpaste

These kinds of toothpaste contain potassium nitrate which prevents the pain signals to reach the nerves
of the tooth by blocking the tiny tunnels which start from the tooth. Tooth sensitivity is caused by
thinning of enamel which causes the tooth to get exposed to air which enters the tooth and causes a
slight shock inside the tooth root while eating food.

SENSODYNE - WHITENING AND SENSITIVITY TOOTHPASTE

Sensodyne toothpaste is voted to be one of the best teeth whitening toothpaste by the dentists which
also helps in removing sensitivity. It is owned by GlaxoSmithKline. It targets people who have the
problem of sensitivity. Toothache, after eating something hot, cold or sweet, causes tooth sensitivity.

Working of Sensodyne depends on its active ingredients.

It contains-

1. Potassium nitrate

2. Strontium acetate and chloride

3. Calcium sodium phosphosilicate CSPS (Novamin)

Sensodyne decreases the potential of the nerve and stops from firing which ends up preventing
sensitivity. It prevents the movement of the fluid within the tubules by replacing some of the lost
calcium.

Sensodyne also helps in curing toothaches by gently rubbing it on the gums.
