Launch of Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum; Two Problems, One Dual Action Toothpaste

Sensitive teeth and gum health are two common dental problems that can now be relieved in one solution –with Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum toothpaste.

 

Bryan Wong, General Manager, GSK Consumer Healthcare Sdn Bhd at the launch of Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum giving his welcome address.

The all-new Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum toothpaste has been clinically proven to relieve sensitivity and improve gum health1. Its dual action formula works to actively build a layer over sensitive areas of your teeth, so as to protect teeth against sensitivity, whilst targeting and removing plaque bacteria that can cause swollen gums, bad breath

and other gum problems.

Teeth sensitivity and gum problems are prevalent dental conditions amongst Malaysians 

Globally over 50% of teeth sensitivity sufferers also report signs of gum problems2 and a research study conducted in 2010 indicated that 9 out of 10 Malaysian adults suffer from gum problems3.

Dentists have also recognized a close link between these two symptoms i.e. teeth sensitivity and gum problems. Receding gums is one of the main causes of tooth sensitivity, and the most common cause of receding gums is gum problem. When dentine inside teeth is exposed, revealing tiny holes inside it, it can affect the nerve inside the tooth leading to sensitivity.

 

Dr Shazril Shaharuddin sharing his learnings after taking the ‘Stain, Chill, Brush Dental Test’.

Reports show that almost half (44%) of people with teeth sensitivity opt to change their tooth-brushing habits so that they are able to avoid the affected areas4 of their teeth and gums.

This can lead to a sticky film of bacteria called plaque. Plaque that is not removed by twice-daily brushing can build up on the teeth and cause gum swollen, bad breath, and uncomfortable when brushing or flossing. 

Dentists agree that both these symptoms need attention and their patients would benefit from taking control of the two problems as soon as possible.“Teeth sensitivity and gum problems are prevalent in the country;yet ,such issues go under -detected and under-treated. The growing number of sufferers we see are also not proactively managing either symptoms. These two issues are inter-related and would be required to be simultaneously addressed.”,Dr Cheah Chia Wei, Lecturer, Department Of Restorative Dentistry Of Dental Faculty, University Malaya.

Bryan Wong, General Manager, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Sdn Bhd, said, “We’re launching Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum to address these two issues simultaneously and to provide relief to patients so that they can continue to do more of the things they love without discomfort. Oral health remains our priority and as the No.1 tooth sensitivity toothpaste provider* in the country, we are proud to unveil this latest dual action product that will benefit our nation’s oral health concerns”.

Step 1 toothbrushes
Good dental care routines start from the very first tooth. The actual time at which the first tooth arrives can vary widely between individual children, but the parents needs to start brushing the child´s teeth as soon as the first teeth appears.
Jordan Step 1 toothbrush is tailor-made to make the first brushing experience a good one. Designed with extra soft bristles, a soft rubber biting ring for babies’ gums and a handle that fits both large and small hands, Step 1 toothbrush helps making the first step in establishing healthy and happy dental care routines for a baby.
The short neck of the toothbrush prevents the toothbrush being inserted too far into the child´s mouth. At this age a toothbrush should be used under parental supervision, and the grip on the handle of the toothbrush Step 1 toothbrush years is also suited for an adult.
Step 1 toothbrush comes in strong stimulating colours



Step 2 toothbrushes
At this age the child does not necessarily understand the importance of brushing their teeth, and it can be a challenge to explain and to motivate the child.
Step 3-5 years is specially designed to clean milk teeth and with its round head and soft bristles it is easy to move the toothbrush around the teeth.

Babies are ultra-sensitive when it comes to their senses; light, sound and taste – particularly bitterness! As we grow out of babyhood into childhood and young adulthood, our senses lose the sharp edge they started off with long-term exposure of SLS might irritate the mouth and result in unpleasant wounds and dry mucous membranes, toothpaste without SLS is better for your child

 Many types of toothpaste are highly abrasive and actually strip away enamel which never grows back. Permanent teeth need more fluoride than milk teeth, but the older kids still prefer a mild tasting toothpaste. Jordan’s junior toothpaste has a mild fruity mint flavour the child recognizes from children’s’ toothpaste, but is specially formulated to protect the first permanent teeth.

Step 3 toothbrushes
Children of this age understand why they have to brush their teeth, and may already have been to the dentist. The challenge at this age is that the child has both milk and permanent teeth, and the resulting uneven positioning of the teeth makes the bristles even more important.

Step 6-9 years is designed to meet the challenging oral needs at this age. The integrated “solo brush” reaches molars and hard-to-reach spaces between the teeth and gums - no teeth or surfaces need to be forgotten.

Dressing for Medical Success with Online Apparel Shopping
