Introduction About SENSODENT KF FOAMING DENTAL GEL
Sensodent KF Dental Gel is a medicated oral gel which is used in the management of Dentinal Hypersensitivity (DH). It contains potassium nitrate and sodium monofluorophosphate as key ingredients which provides strength to the teeth.
Sodium Monofluorophosphate is an anticaries agent, that reduces the demineralisation of enamel and protects the teeth from cavities. Potassium nitrate is a desensitising agent which blocks the exposed dentinal tubules (tooth structure which is present next to the enamel layer) which are responsible for causing painful sensitivity. It builds protection against sensitivity of teeth to stimuli such as heat, cold, acids, and sweets.
Always use Sensodent KF Dental Gel as advised by your physician/dentist. It is for dental use only. Take required quantity (approximately 2.5cm) of the paste in a soft bristle toothbrush and brush thoroughly twice a day. Do not swallow the toothpaste. Make sure that you brush the sensitive areas for long time. Consult your dentist if the problem persists of if you are using it for more than four weeks.
