Clean Teeth
I was brushing my teeth this morning and I got to thinking about my teeth and their condition a few years ago. You see, I have a fear of the dentist. There was a time that I went for about ten years without seeing a dentist. Finally, because I wanted to make sure my daughter didn’t develop the same fear, I sought out a dentist that would accommodate me and be considerate of my fear. I did this because I wanted to visit the dentist first before taking my daughter, in other words, if he was good enough for me, I knew he’d be good enough for my daughter.
When I finally went to the dentist I was amazed at the good condition my teeth were actually in. Other than dealing with teeth that are sensitive to cold and having a build up of plaque, the dentist informed me that I had a healthy mouth. He did what he needed to do to remove the plaque and then I asked him what I could do about the sensitivity of my teeth. He recommended that I use a sensitive toothpaste designed to especially for sensitive teeth. There were a few on the market so I picked one and have been using it. It did help, but it really was just a way to mask the problem, not take care of it.
Recently, to my pleasant surprise, I received a sample of Biotene Sensitive Toothpaste in the mail. I began using it over the past week and found what a difference it has made. It doesn’t just mask the problem but it works on resolving it. I don’t understand how it does it but it does do it. If I’d had this toothpaste years ago I may not have the sensitivity issue today.
