With the naturally occurring mineral potassium nitrate for protecting sensitive teeth from painful stimuli. What causes sensitive teeth? Our teeth are protected by enamel. When the enamel is worn away or gums recede, dentin underneath becomes exposed and teeth become sensitive, especially to hot and cold foods. This is called dentin hypersensitivity. It is usually experienced as we age, but tooth grinding, gum disease, and brushing too hard can also contribute. Why Tom's of Maine for Sensitive Teeth? The ingredients in Tom's of Maine Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth help reduce the incidence of pain while efficiently cleaning your teeth. Our active ingredient, potassium nitrate, is clinically proven effective in soothing sensitive teeth and is derived from naturally occurring deposits of nitrate ore rather than the synthetic nitrates used by other brands. Our safe, low abrasion formula protects tooth enamel while cleaning teeth. Natural Flavor:. We blend wintergreen and peppermint oils for a smooth, refreshing flavor that avoids bitterness. The 5 Day Flavor Test:. Tom's toothpaste is different from major brands because it does not contain saccharin, a synthetic sweetener 400 times sweeter than sugar. Your taste buds may need a chance to adjust to the experience of a natural flavor. Try this simple test. Use Tom's for 5 days. Then try your regular brand. We'll wager you'll stay with the clean, refreshing taste of Tom's. How do we define natural? By natural we mean that the product contains no artificial preservatives, artificial dyes, or artificial sweeteners (like saccharin) and is created with minimally processed ingredients originally sourced in nature. On each box we list our ingredients, their purpose and source. We believe you have a right to know. Uses:. Builds increasing protection against painful sensitivity of the teeth to cold, heat, acid, sweets or contact.

"I've been using Tom's for Sensitive Teeth for a few months now. It's a very good toothpaste that tastes fine. There's only two reasons I didn't give the product 5 stars: it contains sodium lauryl sulfate, and it's a bit hard to squeeze the product out of the metal tube. Sensitivity protection seems excellent. I like that it's "more natural", and I don't get those painful pimples on my tongue very much anymore. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with sensitive teeth."

"I purchased this natural product because I didn't want fluoride in my toothpaste. This has been very effective in controlling the sensitivity, and my teeth have remained just as white as with my former paste with whitening. The only complaint I have is the paste is much thicker than I feel it needs to be. Maybe a little less carageenan, guys?"

"I wanted to stop using regular commercial toothpastes that contain thyroid-suppressing fluoride in them, & I also have sensitive teeth, so I thought this natural toothpaste would be perfect. It tastes great without any added sugar (sweetened with xylitol, which has anti-cavity properties) & the mint flavor is not overpowering the way many commercial preparations are. I was thrilled to stop using fluoride toothpaste. But after a few weeks I haven't noticed my teeth getting any less sensitive to cold drinks, & instead noticed that plaque buildup recurs a much deal faster after brushing than the commercial preparations I used to use. I'll finish this tube but I don't think I'll buy it again. It doesn't clean well enough with my electric sonic toothbrush. I will try another type or brand without fluoride. It does taste good however."

"Has the active ingredient for sensitive teeth in same strength as Sensodyne, and it does suppress sensitivity somewhat. Taste is unpleasant, astringent. Don't get any on your clothing, it's a pain to get it off. Price is good and delivery is fast from this vendor."

"I have used Tom's regular all natural toothpaste for quite some time. Then I decided to use the Tom's all natural for sensitive teeth because I had tooth work done and they became rather sensitive. All of Tom's all natural toothpaste leaves my teeth feeling really clean. I have also notice a hugh difference in the whiteness of my teeth. The sensitive toothpaste has already helped a lot and I've only used it for less than 2 weeks. I also like the fact that Tom's has no flouride, additives or harmful chemicals in it, therefore it is not harmful to your body. I would not trade my Tom's for all the world's other brands."

"I have used other "sensitive" toothpastes, however none seemed to concur the sensitivity quite as quickly and as well as this product. I was amazed after using it just one day. I have purchased my 2nd tube and will be a dedicated user in the future! The flavor is also refreshing!"
