Results for tag: "Dentine Hypersensitivity"

Dentine hypersensitivity is a common dental condition characterized by short, sharp pain in response to stimuli such as cold, heat, sweet, sour, or air. It is caused by the exposure of dentine, the layer of tissue beneath the enamel, due to receding gums or tooth wear. It affects up to 57% of adults and is more common in women than men. Treatment for dentine hypersensitivity includes desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride gels, and other products. These products contain active ingredients such as potassium nitrate, strontium chloride, and arginine, which help to reduce the pain associated with the condition. The dentine hypersensitivity market is a growing sector of the dental industry. It is driven by increasing awareness of the condition, the availability of new treatments, and the growing demand for preventive dental care. Companies in the dentine hypersensitivity market include GlaxoSmithKline, Colgate-Palmolive, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Church & Dwight. Show Less Read more
