Sensodyne Repair & Protect Toothpaste Review

For years, rightly or wrongly, I have ignored the fact I have slightly sensitive teeth, just avoiding the foods that cause it. I have also ignored those Sensodyne adverts that have been on our screens for as long as I can remember...however when an email offering to try the newest toothpaste in the range arrived in my inbox I decided to take up the challenge and give it a go. I have to say I am pleased I did!

Sensodyne say 

NEW SENSODYNE® Repair & Protect toothpaste, from the No.1 dentist recommended brand for sensitive teeth, now has a new formulation. With twice daily brushing it can create a harder*, protective layer over the microscopic holes in the exposed dentine that is 50% harder than the vulnerable areas of sensitive teeth.

Containing patented NovaMin®, a ground breaking technology originally developed for bone repair, new SENSODYNE® Repair & Protect helps to remineralise the tooth by delivering calcium and phosphate minerals to exposed areas, forming a harder* tooth like layer for even stronger repair***.

With twice daily brushing, new SENSODYNE® Repair & Protect toothpaste provides clinically proven, daily protection against the pain of tooth sensitivity while fluoride helps to strengthen enamel.

My thoughts 

I have really enjoyed using the toothpaste (I am still using it). It is nice and smooth and has a really pleasant minty, fresh taste. It leaves teeth feeling clean and there is no residue left in the mouth. However the most important thing is, does it work? Well personally I think it has done a great job. My sensitivity is not present when I eat the things that have caused me problems in the past - mainly ice cold things or sweet things. To be honest I avoid things like penny sweets or Percy Pigs as they really hurt my teeth so I haven't taken eating them up again (they are bad for your teeth after all). I have noticed that hot drinks do not pose a problem to my teeth. Overall, I truly believe this toothpaste has worked and I like the fact that it is repairing my teeth while I use it. 

The mouthwash I have given to the husband to try and he has been using it alongside the toothpaste which he also likes.. he has ditched the toothpaste we were using in favour of this! He likes the mouthwash and being a seasoned user of them, he knows his stuff.
