Problem Targeted Toothpastes

There is nothing worse than being in pain or needing a certain product that you either can’t find or are unsure of what it actually does to benefit you. Check out the below products specific to oral care issues…

Sensitivity

You can experience sensitivity at any age which can be caused by a multitude of possible issues such as receding gums, tooth decay, loss of enamel, a chipped/exposed tooth or even as a direct result of harsh teeth whitening. We recommend getting sensitive teeth checked over by your dentist if you feel it is persistent so they can rule out any possible issues like cavities. We have listed some toothpastes we recommend based on the formulation and results of reduction in sensitivity when tested.

Sensodyne rapid relief

Is a toothpaste with proven benefits. The core ingredients are clinically proven to help with sensitivity and the multitude of reviews and professional recommendations allow it to speak for itself. The rapid relief toothpaste helps to quickly alleviate sensitivity with an ingredient called stannous fluoride. This builds a layer over exposed areas, forming a protective barrier that quickly blocks micro cracks (tubules) in the sensitive areas around your teeth.

Spotlight Sensitive toothpaste

Uses key ingredients including potassium nitrate and fluoride. They work together to help rebuild the protective layer on the outer surface of the tooth ultimately reducing sensitivity whilst keeping your teeth clean.

Bleeding Gums

At some point a lot of us will experience bleeding gums. People think that when the gums suddenly bleed when brushing they should stop and leave that area alone. This is one of the worst things you can do as when it bleeds, it is a sign that the blood is trying to flush out bacteria in the enflamed areas of your gums. The more you brush the bleeding area regularly the healthier the gum becomes and eventually the bleeding stops. There are a multitude of causes for bleeding gums including: smoking, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, pregnancy or it can even be hereditary. Below we have recommended the best toothpastes to tackle bleeding gums.

Corsodyl toothpaste gum

Corsodyl products have little to offer when it comes to flavour with their products not having a fresh and minty flavour associated with most toothpastes.

Oral B gum

Remineralising toothpaste

Remineralising in simple terms, helps to strengthen the entire tooth whilst repairing weaker spots and makes teeth less sensitive. Once lost, tooth enamel can never be replaced however the mineral content of existing tooth enamel can be increased by using a remineralising toothpaste. The most effective remineralising toothpastes we have found tend to contain ingredients in the formulation such as hydroxyapatite, sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride. These particular ingredients are able to bind to tooth enamel areas that are weaker to help repair and protect.
