Contact Information rect relationship between sensi- tive teeth and other sensitivities, finding that patients with sensi- tive teeth expressed a need to wear sunglasses when outdoors. Helping patients overcome sensitive teeth As a dental professional your expert advice and recommen- dation carries considerable weight. Openly discussing sensi- tive teeth with patients will en- able you to identify how much of a concern it is for them and recommend a solution to help eliminate the discomfort. Put their mind at rest by confirming that sensitive teeth can be eas- ily addressed by following some simple oral care procedures; avoid brushing teeth too hard or too much, avoid grinding or clenching teeth and avoid acidic foods and drinks. Patients should also be advised to use a low abrasion, desen- sitising, whitening toothpaste, such as Perfect White Sensitive, which contains the ingredient Potassium Nitrate. This desen- sitising agent will help relieve tooth sensitivity by effectively blocking the transmission of pain sensation between the nerve cells rapidly and effective- ly, so that tooth whitening is no longer a sensitive subject! Ul- timately, by switching to a low- abrasive whitening toothpaste, patients can reduce the risk of suffering from dentine hyper- sensitivity from the outset. In a study recently performed by Missouri Analytical Laboratories (July 2011), a range of whitening toothpastes were tested to com- pare and evaluate their levels of abrasion. The results confirmed that Beverly Hills Formula whit- ening toothpastes are proven to be less abrasive than other lead- ing brands of both whitening and regular toothpastes, scoring as low as 93 on the RDA table whilst some leading competitors have levels as high as 147. Raising awareness of sensitive teeth By helping your patient’s combat sensitive teeth you will be mak- ing a dramatic improvement to their life, enabling them to enjoy hot and cold foods and drinks again. Nominate a “sensitive teeth” expert in the practice or hold a “sensitive teeth” day/week/ month; you’ll be surprised at how many patients will come forward to end their fight against sensitive teeth. Leave flyers/ brochures on sensitive teeth around the practice, in recep- tion or in the waiting room, and patients will feel more inclined to tackle the subject.
