Colgate sensitive pro relief whitening
Sensitivity toothpaste can desensitise exposed dentine and remove surface stain, but it cannot repair decay or restorations.
The short answer
A sensitivity toothpaste marketed with whitening uses desensitising ingredients for exposed dentine while removing or polishing some surface stain.
What can desensitising toothpaste actually change?
A desensitising toothpaste can reduce fluid movement in tubules or dampen nerve response, while its cleaning agents address surface deposits rather than deep colour changes.
How should you use this toothpaste for sensitivity?
Use a small amount with a soft brush and gentle pressure, and follow the product directions; persistent sensitivity needs a dental diagnosis.
When does sensitivity need a dentist's review?
Seek care for pain that is spontaneous, localised, triggered by biting, or accompanied by a crack, swelling, decay, or a lingering response to cold.
What should you ask about the cause of sensitivity?
Ask whether your sensitivity comes from exposed dentine, decay, a cracked tooth, gum recession, or pulp inflammation, and whether whitening is appropriate.
