Sensodyne, the most expensive toothpaste.

Maybe if he had been using standard toothpaste for the last few years, with the added fluoride, instead of his homemade concoction, perhaps his teeth could be in a better condition.

.



ALL standard toothpastes are types of soaps as any dentist will tell you.

.



They all consist of the same base base ingredients plus flavourings to please the palate.

.



Flouride is already present in the water supply and every time you boil water for tea etc. it increases in its efficacy.

.



Sensodyne is the only toothpaste available to the general public that contains a chemical which reduces dental sensitivity.

If I could buy the type of potassium required without a licence I would do it. This does help in reducing pain - but only marginally.

By the way Clay it's pointless having a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

I have used Sensodyne for many years - was advised to by a dentist in 1983 - I always seemed to be going to dentists and he told me I had no fillings required but needed to use a toothpaste because I had not much enamel left on my teeth. I found it worked for me a treat and didnt go to dentists for years except for check ups and not a lot of work to do. But of course lost root canals over the years as these break off at the gum being dead - should have had them capped in hindsight - wonderful thing that - I could do so much n hindsight HaHa rofl.

It is expensive around $9 but I usually buy it up when on special. I use the original as only one without fluoride added and if it is in the water - you do not need it in toothpaste as can overdose or so I'm told.

Now I tried the Colgates and others that say they work on sensitive teeth - but found that I got the pain back so went back to Sensodyne - others have said the same.

I also still use it together with bicarb of soda as I still have a few teeth left - BTW Bicarb cleans the plaque off your teeth - makes them feel like you just had them scraped without the bleeding gums etc

Checked toothpastes at the supermarket today. Sensodyne, Colgate, OralB and even Coles own brand of "Toothpastes for sensitive Teeth", all contain the same amount of potassium nitrate, the ingredient that Club25 falsely claimed was only in Sensodyne. Wonder what he will come up with next.

But did you check the [b]original Sensodyne[/b] as it is different to the later ones - which I find also are not working for me. Original is only one without fluoride in it and its active ingredient is not potassium nitrate as you say - but different.



[b]It is 100mg per g Strontium Chloride.[/b]

Big Val,

I was replying to the claim of the original poster who mentioned Sensodyne and Potassium in his post. The chemical you mentioned was not listed in the ingredients on any the toothpastes.

And I was pointing out that you obviously did not check on the original sensodyne or it is not stocked by the supermarket you visited, for instance our Coles does not sell original but the others in the Sensodyne range.

There is no potassium in the original whatsoever.

Sorry but it it important to be accurate and none of the other so called sensitive ones work for everyone and that is because they do not have the same ingredient.

This seems to be turning into an advertising blitz for Sensodyne. On their website both Potassium Nitrate and Strotium Chloride are both described as doing the the same thing, relieving sensitivity and preventing its return, so not being an Industrial Chemist, I should assume they are pretty much interchangeable. As they say, you pay your money and take your choice.

Precisely! Have tried every single one of the sensitive toothpastes - even the Sensodyne range - only original suits me and a lot of others or by now Generation Y if not X would have deleted it for sure :) rofl
