We hear about Colgate’s Sensitive Instant Relief – an effective solution to protect patients from the pain of sensitive teeth.
Many patients assume it is normal for their teeth to be sensitive when they eat or drink something hot or cold.
This is not surprising given that up to 57% of patients are affected by the pain of sensitive teeth at some point in their life. This figure increases up to 98% in patients who have experienced periodontal disease (Cummins, 2009, Addy, 2002).
Dental professionals are therefore looking for an effective solution to protect their patients from the pain of sensitive teeth.
The superior tubule blocking technology in Colgate Sensitive Instant Relief provides instant, pain relief, with 60.5% improvement from the first use and also long-lasting pain relief with 80.5% reduction after eight weeks use (Nathoo, 2009, Docimo, 2009).
The Colgate Sensitive Instant Relief Patient Experience Programme results are in!
Dental professionals from across the UK invited their patients presenting with dentine hypersensitivity to participate in the Colgate Sensitive Instant Relief Experience Programme.
Patients used Colgate Sensitive Instant Relief Relief Repair & Prevent toothpaste twice daily for four weeks.
Patient feedback collected from 191 patients can now be shared, providing you with the confidence to recommend Colgate Sensitive Instant Relief Relief Repair & Prevent toothpastes to your patients with dentine hypersensitivity.

Do you see patients with dentine hypersensitivity and gum problems?
You can recommend a toothpaste for both. Colgate Sensitive Instant Relief repair and prevent provides instant and long-lasting relief (Nathoo, 2009, Docimo, 2009).
The addition of zinc helps to strengthen gums and prevent gum recession, a key cause of future sensitivity, providing over 25% reduction in gum problems after six months (Lai, 2015).
