Does the thought of a double scoop rocky road ice cream cone or a gooey caramel make you run screaming in the other direction? That was me until I found Orajel Advanced Tooth Desensitizer on my drugstore shelf. I have always had sensitive teeth which was made worse by periodontal work done last year. I brush at least twice a day with toothpaste for sensitive teeth which helped some, but not enough to indulge in any food or drink that was too cold or too sweet. I saw Orajel Advanced Tooth Desesitizer on sale for under five dollars and decided to give it a try. Was I ever glad I did!
Orajel Advanced Tooth Desensitizer is extremely quick acting. My tooth sensitivity was reduced ninety percent in the very first day.Toothpaste for sensitive teeth take days and sometimes weeks to get the full effectiveness from the product. If you miss a day, it’s like going backward. With Orajel’s product, you apply the treatment and you are protected for one month.
Orajel Advanced Tooth Desensitizer is simple to use. Before applying you brush your teeth as normal. You dip the swab in the product, making sure it is completely wet, but not dripping. You gently apply the product back and forth across each sensitive tooth at the gum line. This is slightly uncomfortable, as the product is slightly cold, but that diminishes after the second or third pass across the tooth.You then allow to dry for thirty to sixty seconds before the next application. A total of three applications to each sensitive tooth is recommended for maximum effectiveness. You then floss after wards to make sure that none of the product is in between the teeth.
The best time of day to apply Orajel Advanced Tooth Desensitizer is either in mid morning or early evening as it is suggested that you do not eat or brush your teeth for one hour after applying. The taste is not overly medicinal which was an unexpected benefit. Before applying, I was convinced that the flavor was going to be very unpleasant, and I pleased that it was not bothersome at all.
If you have suffered like I have from ridiculously sensitive teeth and thought it was just something you would be forced to live with, buy Orajel Advanced Tooth Desensitizer and put it behind you. Five dollars a month is steal to end this annoyance. I am quite happy to have overcome this just in time to enjoy a treat from the ice cream truck with the kids!
