Can adults use Aquafresh® Kids Toothpaste?
There are many causes for tooth sensitivity, one of which is receding gums. The primary causes of receding gums may include age, vigorous brushing with a firm bristle toothbrush, periodontal disease, and simply bad oral hygiene. Often, when the gumline recedes, unprotected dentin is exposed; this contains tiny, microscopic holes that lead directly to the nerve inside the tooth. Teeth may become sensitive when this exposed dentin is subjected to hot, cold, sweet or sour foods, as well as to touch. Aquafresh Sensitive helps to treat sensitive tooth pain in two ways: by soothing the irritated nerve and sealing off the holes that lead to the nerve.
Aquafresh® Kids Toothpaste is very similar to Aquafresh® Cavity Protection Toothpaste and Aquafresh® Extra Fresh Toothpaste. The main difference is that Aquafresh® Kids has a children-preferred sugarless bubblegum. All of the Aquafresh® Toothpaste products are equally effective at fighting cavities and are gentle enough for adults and children to use.
