Sensodyne Portfolio Range - Quick Reference Guide for Dental Professionals
A two-page clinical reference on dentin hypersensitivity
The Sensodyne Range Quick Reference Guide provides dental professionals with a concise reference on dentin hypersensitivity (sensitive teeth), which covers:
- What dentin hypersensitivity is: a short, sharp tooth pain triggered by stimuli such as hot, cold and sweet fluids and drinks. The guide reports that at least 41% of patients suffer from it.2
- What causes it: according to the widely accepted hydrodynamic theory, dentin tubules exposed through gingival recession or enamel wear, stimuli causing fluid movement within the tubules, and the contact triggering nerves in the tooth pulp.1,3
- A simple diagnostic strategy: ask all patients about experiencing tooth sensitivity since their last dental visit, then ask about triggers and whether they avoid eating on certain sides of their mouth.
Download the PDF for the complete clinical reference and get to know two Sensodyne formulations specially designed to relieve dentin hypersensitivity*, which makes them recommended options for sensitivity care:
- Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum: a stannous fluoride formulation for patients who have tooth sensitivity but also suffer from early gum disease.*
