Hello Friends!It’s been a short minute. But I have some news!I’m delighted to let you all know; that I was selected as an Ambassador to try out the new Oral B - Sensitivity & Gum Calm toothpaste.I’ve always struggled when it comes to my teeth. Cold and hot foods tend to trigger my gnashes into a frenzy, so I was excited to try this out as a product for myself. Not to mention this is the first product I have been sent to try and review, so this naturally adds to my excitement!So here she is, in all her full glory.I’ve been using this for 4 days now, replacing my old toothpaste so I could give it my fair but full verdict.
As a consumer, Just like you, I am without a doubt going to go to the first thing any of us would notice; the packaging. This sleek design would be instantly recognisable on any store shelf, giving us a clear indication that this is the Oral B that we all trust, the Oral B that has never let us down before. This, alongside the fact it is quick to point out exactly what this product is going to do. Which is exactly what we want. We want to know what this product is going to do for us, what is it going to help us achieve. Is this case; an easy and affordable way to tackle sensitivity. A common issue amongst the majority of us.
Now, to the important stuff. Does this product really hold up to our now exceptions? I’m going to highlight some of the key points I think we look for in our daily dental routine.
Texture
It’s a little different from my usual toothpaste. The only way I can really describe this is that it feels gummy. Soft but firm enough to get a good coating throughout your whole mouth. That pea-sized piece really does go a long way. This enables you to feel like you’ve really got into all those harder to reach places in your mouth. Don’t you just hate the kind of toothpaste that literally feels like water, and you feel you need to go in for another blob of your toothpaste? Yeah, well me too, and this isn’t that. Great!
Taste
Not too minty you feel like you’ve just devoured a packet of soft mints, but also enough to give you that fresh lasting breath. It’s a nice mint too, almost like a gentle hug to your teeth! (Did I just say that haha). But seriously, using this alongside your normal mouthwash is enough to keep you going until your next brush.
Sensitivity
And now for the main part, what you’re all waiting to hear. Does this cure my sensitivity?
You know, I really don’t think any toothpaste is going to fully cure my sensitivity, more than a trip to the dentist. But does it help? Absolutely! After brushing in the morning, and going for that cup of coffee, I have not yet experienced any problems. Running my tongue along my teeth now as we speak, My teeth feel smooth. As if I’ve just brushed them. That’s a hit with me! And speaks for itself that it’s clearly doing some good!
My Verdict
Im really happy, but yet surprised by this toothpaste. I came into this with no expectations at all. Which may be why I am happily satisfied. But as we are being honest, there is just one downfall I feel the need to highlight.
Many of us tend to have more than one issue with our teeth, or something in particular we would let to gain from a toothpaste. Mine is also whitening. And unfortunately I feel that this did not give me what I needed in that department. So what I am saying to you is, if whitening is an issue with you, perhaps use alongside a whitening mouthwash instead. I guess that’s really no big deal. And after all, I think pain relief is more important than a cosmetic issue such as that.
Thanks for reading guys! See you soon :) xx
