Dental question about observed-topic:sensodyne-complete-protection-toothpaste

A complete-protection toothpaste is a daily fluoride toothpaste; its suitability depends on sensitivity, decay risk, gum health, and brushing technique.

These toothpastes combine a fluoride cavity-prevention ingredient with cleaning agents and, in some formulas, ingredients intended for dentine sensitivity or tartar and stain control. The exact formulation and label determine what it can and cannot address.

Use a pea-sized amount on a soft brush, clean all tooth surfaces twice daily, and spit rather than aggressively rinsing after brushing. Keep the product away from children who may swallow it and follow the label for any special use directions.

See a dentist for ongoing sensitivity, bleeding gums, tooth pain, erosive wear, or cavities despite regular brushing. Toothpaste cannot repair a cavity, remove calculus, or treat an infected pulp.

Ask whether the formula and fluoride level suit your age and decay risk, and whether sensitivity comes from exposed dentine, decay, a crack, or gum recession. Ask whether you need a different prescription or professional treatment.
