··  What is desensitizing toothpaste? ··

Desensitizing toothpaste is a product used to reduce or eliminate the allergic reaction of teeth to stimuli such as hot, cold, sour, and sweet. They usually contain ingredients that can seal dentin tubules, reducing the transmission of external stimuli to nerve cells in the pulp, thereby reducing or avoiding sensitive symptoms.

··  What are the types of desensitizing toothpaste? ··

There are various desensitizing toothpastes on the market, which can be classified according to their form and mechanism of action. Common types include:

Desensitizing toothpaste : This type of desensitizing toothpaste comes in the form of toothpaste, making it easy to use daily.

Coating type desensitizing toothpaste : These products are usually gels or liquids that need to be applied to the sensitive area.

Professional desensitizing toothpaste : These products are usually applied directly to the patient's sensitive teeth by a dentist in a clinic.

Each type of desensitizing toothpaste contains different active ingredients, such as potassium nitrate, fluoride, herbal extracts, etc., to block dentin tubules or strengthen enamel.

Different types of desensitizing toothpaste may differ in efficacy and applicable population.

··  Is desensitizing toothpaste the same as toothpaste? ··

Although desensitizing toothpaste is similar to toothpaste in form and usage, their functions and uses are quite different. Toothpaste is mainly used for daily oral cleaning, helping to remove food residue, soft deposits, and plaque to prevent caries and periodontal diseases. The main function of desensitizing toothpaste is to relieve tooth sensitivity. Although some desensitizing toothpastes also have a certain cleaning effect, it cannot completely replace toothpaste . In daily oral care, we should use both together, first using toothpaste for cleaning, and then using desensitizing toothpaste to relieve sensitive symptoms.

··  Which groups of people are suitable for using desensitizing toothpaste?  ··

First of all, people with more obvious tooth sensitivity symptoms are the main users of desensitizing toothpaste. For example, people whose enamel is worn down due to frequent consumption of acidic foods or drinks; people whose gums recede and dentin is exposed due to incorrect brushing methods; and people whose teeth naturally wear down with age, etc.

Secondly, people who experience temporary sensitivity after some dental treatments, such as teeth whitening and fillings, can also use desensitizing toothpaste to relieve discomfort. It should be noted that although desensitizing toothpaste can help relieve sensitive symptoms, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. If tooth sensitivity persists or worsens, you should seek medical attention in time to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment. For example, if the sensitivity is caused by caries, filling treatment is needed; if the gum recession is serious, gum repair surgery may be needed, etc.
