Key Benefits
Clinically Proven Tooth Pain Relief: Targets the root cause of tooth sensitivity by building a robust protective layer over exposed dentin, preventing triggers like hot or cold foods from reaching the nerve.
Targeted Plaque Removal & Gum Care: Functions as an advanced Sensodyne gum care toothpaste by neutralising plaque bacteria buildup along the gumline, helping to reverse early signs of gingivitis and maintain healthy gums.
Dual Action Sensitivity Relief: Provides simultaneous, daily management for both sensitive teeth and gums, eliminating the need to buy separate speciality pastes for oral hygiene.
Advanced Cavity Protection: Fortified with stannous fluoride, this formula actively strengthens tooth structure, providing daily enamel protection and shielding your teeth from cavity-causing acid attacks.
Reduces Bleeding Gums: Acts as an effective toothpaste for bleeding gums by soothing gum inflammation and aggressively targeting the bacterial plaque that causes gum irritation.
Lasting Fresh Breath: Leaves your mouth feeling clean and refreshed with a mild mint flavour that combats bad breath without relying on harsh abrasives.

Health Queries
I am suffering from tooth sensitivity. I have already used Sensodyne/Shy-NM toothpaste, mouthwash, creams, and tablets, but the problem still persists. What should I do next?
G.santoshini Reddy

Persistent tooth sensitivity even after using sensitivity toothpastes such as Sensodyne or Shy-NM may mean that there is an underlying dental problem that needs proper examination rather than only temporary relief products. Tooth sensitivity can happen due to enamel wear, cavities, gum recession, teeth grinding, cracked teeth, acidic foods, aggressive brushing, or gum disease. If the pain occurs while eating hot, cold, sweet, or sour foods and is continuing despite treatment, it is important to visit a dentist for a detailed dental check-up. The dentist may look for hidden cavities, exposed tooth roots, damaged fillings, or gum problems and may suggest treatments such as fluoride application, dental fillings, desensitising procedures, cleaning, or, in some cases, root canal treatment if the tooth nerve is affected. In the meantime, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush gently instead of scrubbing hard. Avoid very hot, cold, acidic, or sugary foods and drinks, and do not rinse immediately after brushing because the toothpaste needs time to work on the teeth. If you grind your teeth during sleep, stress control or a night guard may also help. Since the problem has persisted despite using multiple products, a professional dental evaluation is the best next step to identify and treat the exact cause properly, rather than continuing self-medication.
