My family has suffered from tooth sensitivity off and on for years. Usually, a sensitive toothpaste helps a bit, but you have to use it every day, and never skip a day, for it to be effective.
Crest has developed a new kind of product that tackles the issue of tooth sensitivity aggressively, with a solution that works in just 10 minutes and can offer relief for up to one month. Sensi Stop Strips use effective ingredients on a strip that you put directly on the sensitive tooth and the surrounding gum area.
After 10 minutes, the strip can be removed, and after 30 minutes of no eating or drinking, you can go about your business with some relief from the jingly-jangly nerve pain that happens when you try hot, cold, or even sweet foods.
I couldn't try this product personally, because it is not recommended for pregnant or nursing moms.
My husband had been complaining of two sensitive teeth, however, so he gave it a try. He followed the directions, waited 30 minutes, and down a bowl of chips and salsa. I asked if his teeth felt better, and he said he didn't know.
"Do they hurt?" I asked?
"Nope", he replied.
"Did they before you used the strips?"
"Yes."
Well, I guess that they worked!
The product is available in the following package sizes:
- 6 strips ($17.96)
- 10 strips ($24.96)
- 12 strips ($27.96)
It is recommended that you not use more than 18 strips per year, so the large box should last you a long time!
(Note: I'm not a dentist, but -- if the strips don't work, you may want to see your dentist. Tooth sensitivity and pain can be a sign of a broken tooth, cavity, or worse. There have been a few times in my own family that a sensitive tooth signaled something more serious. If you don't find relief from this product, your issue may not be a simple sensitivity problem.)
You can find this product in stores now at your local Walmart -- or shop at Walmart.com!
