Biotene Sensitive Toothpaste

A few months back, my 2 top wisdom teeth grew in. During the process, the teeth splitting my gums caused a horrible ache where I could hardly open my mouth to EAT. It was hard to brush my teeth too. I tried Orajel but that stuff is just icky. It gets in every place but where you want it, like your throat. Luckily it was only a few days of this torture. After figuring out that I could just massage my gums away from the teeth, the pains subsided. In this situation I count myself as lucky. Things could have been much worse. The teeth could have grown in crooked or they could have rotted, but they didn’t and I brush the heck out of those things each time that I brush my teeth because I don’t want any mishaps or doctor bills that I cannot handle.

I am always trying new toothpastes to see which one suits my teeth. At times I’ll use 2 at once, one for cavity and tartar protection, one for whitening. I had the chance to try Biotene sensitive toothpaste and it is a competitor of Sensodyne. I hate Sensodyne, it makes me gag, so trying Biotene had me a bit on edge. The flavor is much better than Sensodyne, it actually reminds me of the stuff that dentists use. I’m not sure if I can stomach the taste on an everyday basis, maybe a few times a week. Biotene Sensitive has even more advantages over Sensodyne, it prevents canker sores and cavities, and defends against bacteria, plaque, gigivitis, and dry mouth. Now there’s a sensitive toothpaste that does it all except whiten. My only suggestion to Biotene Sensitive is to play with the flavor a bit and add some whitening agent to the mix!

Biotene Sensitive can be found at Walgreens, Long’s, Rite-Aid, CVS, and a handful of other top retailers. If these stores aren’t in your area you can have your pharmacist order some for you.
