How To Reduce Tooth Sensitivity

Many of these products do clean teeth well. However, as a desensitizing tool, we recommend you increase the effectiveness of the desensitizing chemicals incorporated within them — that is by the process of…

Smash, Massage and Brush.

Step 1: Put a ‘dab’ of the paste/gel on the end of a cotton swab, or fingertip, and “smash” on the tooth at the gum line where the sensitivity is occurring.

Step 2: “Massage” this paste onto the tooth surface. Keep the product on the same surface for at least 5 – 10 seconds.

Step 3: Put another dab of the paste on your regular toothbrush and gently “brush” all your teeth.

An additional benefit can be obtained, just before bed, by placing another dab of paste on your teeth in the sensitive areas, “massaging” it in, and leaving it there, as you sleep!
