Sensitive Teeth? New Solution!

I had the pleasure of attending a Meet & Greet, Q & A session at P & G!  (That’s a lot of ampersands!)  I learned so much at this informational talk and I’m so stinking excited about this new product from Crest.   I can’t wait to tell you about it!

For real.  It’s a game changer.

So, do you have sensitive teeth?  I do!  I didn’t, until a couple of years ago.  (oh, what fun it is getting old!)  Early stages of tooth sensitivity typically begin when people are in their 30’s or 40’s!!  It’s caused by gum recession, weakened enamel and other factors like over aggressive brushing and gum disease.  Did you know that 50 percent of people will experience tooth sensitivity at some point in their lives and only 4 out of 10 are happy with their current solution.  That’s a lot of people left in pain.  Are you one of them?   I am.

People with sensitive teeth will admit that they have changed their behaviors as a result of the sensitivity.  We compensate with behaviors, like avoiding the triggers.  There are many different triggers…hot or cold liquids, sour or citrus, sweet foods or even cold air.  We compensate by avoiding these things or using the other side of our mouths.

And often we change or skimp on our oral care and hygiene routines because of the pain.  This can impact the quality of our lives because the connection between oral health and overall health is astounding.  I learned so much about the connection and how important it is to have a healthy mouth and Crest Pro-Health really helps improve your oral health.

Well, tooth sensitivity sufferers rejoice!  There’s a new first-of-its-kind at-home treatment from Crest.  Sensi-Stop Strips are amazing and provide targeted and immediate tooth sensitivity relief and up to a whole month of protection!

Cold is my trigger.  So, I tried a strip.  After one treatment I found that I can enjoy SUPER COLD iced tea again without pain.  For the first time in years!  I’m so used to ordering my un-sweet iced tea with LIGHT ICE….I can’t wait to enjoy it cold again!  Really, really cold!  Bring on the ice, baby!

Each package of Sensi-Stop Strips contains six strips ($19.99), 10 strips ($27.99) or 12 strips ($34.99) and one strip provides relief for a whole month.  It’s a great investment and seriously worth trying if you have teeth sensitivity.  And it’s only a one time treatment.  With the toothpastes you have to use them a couple of times a day …..for infinity!

We learned so much from these guys.  A doctor, a dentist and a scientist.  We asked a ton of questions.

Oh and the bonus…  I got to meet Dr. Stork.  🙂

Yes, that Dr. Stork….the Emmy nominated TV host of The Doctors and board-certified emergency medicine physician.  Tee. hee. hee.  He has partnered with Crest and Oral-B Pro-Health to help others understand that a healthy mouth is an important part of a healthy body.  Indeed.  

Crest Sensi-Stop Strips use the same ingredient as some professional treatments to block your dentinal tubules. Dentinal tubules are small passageways that lead directly to nerve endings.  These tubules can be exposed due to loss of enamel or receding gums.  I have some gum recession because of over-aggressive brushing with hard bristled toothbrushes.   (Oh, and because I’m getting old.)

These strips are so easy to use.  You just put them on like a Crest White Strip.  They are thin and you apply it to the exact place where you feel pain.  It’s the right amount of treatment applied right where you need it.  Take it off after 10 minutes….and whalaa.  Done for a month!  You can reapply if you still feel pain, perhaps you missed the exact spot, or some of your tubules didn’t get blocked on the first try.
