Tooth Sensitivity Affected Nearly Every Area of My Life—This Effective Product Finally Brought Me Relief

I'm a fall enthusiast. Only one other season competes with my love for apple cider donuts, chunky sweaters, and, yes, pumpkin spice lattes—and that's summer. Especially after the brutal winter we New Yorkers just experienced (sorry to remind you, East Coasters), I have never appreciated a season more.

This wasn't always the case. I never felt like I could fully embrace summer because of my sensitive teeth. The sharp, zinging pain I experienced when trying to eat some of my favorite summer treats made it impossible to enjoy the things I love most: a scoop of ice cream with my nieces and nephews, a chunky monkey iced coffee on the beach (if you know, you know), a mudslide with my husband—the list goes on. It wasn't until my dentist recommended Sensodyne Clinical Repair Fresh Clean Toothpaste that I finally felt some relief.

If you've never suffered from the nerve-deep pain of sensitive teeth, complaining about it may seem trivial. But anyone who's had to modify their lifestyle because of the side effects of sensitive teeth understands how isolating it can feel. Tooth sensitivity can force you to change your daily routines, such as avoiding your morning iced coffee, missing out on your favorite summer foods (in my case, ice cream), or turning down happy hour drinks to accommodate your sensitivity. The pain was so bad, but thankfully, I found Sensodyne toothpaste.

I brush with Sensodyne Clinical Repair Fresh Clean Toothpaste twice a day. The formula is proven to start to repair teeth after 60 seconds, providing substantial sensitivity relief in three days. The secret is the protective layer the toothpaste forms inside and over the tooth—which strengthens over time with use—to provide clinically proven, long-lasting relief when brushing twice daily.

I'm not ashamed to admit that healing my tooth sensitivity isn't my only dental priority. I also want a smile that's bright and stain-free. Sensodyne's toothpaste also effectively yet gently removes surface stains, leaving behind a fresh, minty taste that makes my teeth feel thoroughly clean.

Earlier this summer, an ice cream shop opened up across the street from me, and I have been able to enjoy a cone pain-free whenever I want. I can grab a popsicle from the corner store on a hot day and not deal with throbbing pain for the remainder of the evening. I no longer have to turn down drinks after work because I'm afraid a frozen cocktail will sting.

I'm fully embracing summer, and the solution was as simple as a toothpaste sitting on the shelves of my local drugstore.
