Why is it important for patients to brush with Sensodyne twice a day, everyday?
For best results, desensitizing toothpaste should be used on a regular basis. Considering the natural outward flow of fluid from the pulp toward the outer surface of dentin, it is important to ensure that a sufficient amount of active ingredient is applied, and over time, accumulates to build a protective barrier. Twice-daily brushing maintains the barrier, and helps prevent the pain from coming back (There is no published evidence to support topical application or “dabbing.”). Dental care professionals need to instruct the patient before initiating treatment. An ongoing regimen of regular, twice-daily brushing is the only clinically supported method of application.
