I never had sensitive teeth until my first son was born. I don’t know if it was being pregnant that caused my teeth to become so sensitive or if it's just something that happens over time. I know that when a woman is pregnant the baby takes vitamins and nutrients away from the mother and sometimes it can affect a woman's teeth if too much calcium is lost. Some days I had difficulty eating or drinking anything cold. Then it wasn’t long after that that I started to have trouble with bleeding gums. This really worried me so I asked my dentist. It turned out that I had dry mouth issues. I had never heard of this and had no idea that having a dry mouth could cause either one of these things. The dentist told me that the best thing I could do at that time was to purchase and use a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Back then there was only one I could find in the stores and I can’t say that it made a whole lot of difference.

Today, things are different. There is Biotene, sensitive toothpaste. Biotene is a breakthrough formula that combines potassium nitrate, the most effective active ingredient for protection against tooth sensitivity with Biotene’s exclusive Enzyme LP3 Complex for the soothing treatment of dry mouth. What is so great about Biotene is that unlike other competitors Biotene doesn’t just mask the problem, but rather resolves it. With cavity protection, it really is a multi formula toothpaste.

I still have sensitive teeth issues from time to time so I am happy to have a tube of Biotene on hand. I have been using it for a few days now and my teeth feel and look great. I sure wish I would have had Biotene back when I first had these issues, but now that I do have it I wont have to go through the pain of sensitive teeth again. Another thing that has impressed me about Biotene is that it is sodium-laurly sulfate- free and is sweetened with Xylitol for a fresh and delicious flavor. That just makes sense to me.
