Do you sometimes wince in pain when you have a gulp of something hot, like that morning coffee? Does a mouthful of cold water, a spoonful of ice-cream, or walking outside in the freezing cold cause you mouth pain? Do you find you dread the simple act of brushing or flossing because it is sometimes uncomfortable? If you answered yes to any of these queries, then like me, you may have sensitive teeth.
Tooth sensitivity is not uncommon and can be the result of many factors, including:
- Brushing incorrectly - Improper brushing can damage your gum tissue.
- Gum recession - The exposure in the roots of the teeth is a common problem in adults over the age of 40.
- Acidic beverages - Fizzy drinks and even fruit juices can lead to enamel erosion exposing the dentin.
What often causes these painful experiences is exposure of the underlying root surface of your teeth, the dentin – it is the layer with open tubules that connect to the nerves. Normally it is protected by enamel and gums, but over time the enamel can get thinner and the gums can recede, exposing open dentin tubules, leaving your teeth feeling extra sensitive.
My sensitivity seems to be more toward cold and I am always tentative when I drink something icy cold, eat ice-cream or even go for a walk in cold weather. I recently took the Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief Challenge to see if it would indeed make a difference.
- I applied the toothpaste directly to the sensitive tooth with my fingertip and gently massaged for 1 minute.
- I then took a drink of ice water and to my relief there was no pain at all!
Not only does Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief work immediately it is also formulated to provide long term lasting relief.
Here is why:
- Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief (CSPR) toothpaste is formulated to shield and repair sensitive teeth for long-lasting protection (with regular use).
- Most other sensitivity toothpastes contain potassium nitrate, which primarily numbs the tooth nerve, masking the pain of tooth sensitivity, and will take 2 weeks of use before relief is delivered.
- Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste works by plugging the channels that lead to the sensitive tooth nerves, to block the pain.
- With regular use, it builds a long-lasting protective barrier that acts like a seal against sensitivity.

LOL! I love the frosty winter photo at the end. Brrr! (Thanks for letting me know Colgate had a sensitive relief paste. I only knew about Sensodyne before.)
I have suffered from sensitive teeth for what seems like forever. I started using colgate sensitive a few months ago and have seen a huge difference.
Like you, I suffer from the pain of sensitive teeth, so I was super happy to be a part of this campaign too. I’m definitely a new fan of Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste. Love the parka pic!
I really need to start buying sensitive toothpaste – my teeth are getting worse as I get older. Thank you for altering me to this Colgate option!
I like that this sensitive toothpaste also has whitening in it as well! I already use Colgate, so will try this one out the next time I grab toothpaste! Thanks for sharing!
