Biotene, the sensitive toothpaste

by CJ on 5 November, 2007

Recently, my teeth have been very sensitive. Sometimes when I brush my teeth, my gums will bleed. I have tried a few different toothpaste but they are not helping at all. So when I received the Biotene Sensitive toothpaste sample in the mail, I was very excited to try it out.

Unlike other competitors, Biotene doesn’t just mask the problem, rather it resolves the problem. Biotene is specially formulated for sensitive teeth and also for dry mouth protection. Did you know that dry mouth is a major cause of tooth sensitivity? I did not know that! Biotene also helps to promote healing of bleeding gums and inflammation which is also another cause of tooth sensitivity.

When I first tried Biotene, I thought it tasted a little sweet which is something that I am not used to. But after a couple of times, the sweetness didn’t bother me anymore. In fact, I learned that the sweetness comes from Xylitol which is a natural sweetener that inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and does not promote dental decay.

I find that when I brush with Biotene, there is not as much foam as my usual toothpaste. It is very mild and I realize that my teeth do not hurt when I brush. My gums did not bleed and the aftertaste is also very pleasant. I will definitely be using Biotene from now on.
