Dentin Hypersensitivity

Hypersensitivity

Dentin hypersensitivity can affect your patients’ diet as well as their hygiene routine, as they may avoid sensitive areas. Crest Oral-B has conducted clinical and laboratory research to understand the etiology of this common condition and evaluate the effectiveness of products designed to treat and prevent dentin hypersensitivity.
