What does tooth sensitivity
really feel like?
FIND OUT HOW REAL SENSITIVITY SUFFERERS DESCRIBE THEIR PAIN - AND HOW IT CAN BE TREATED WITH SENSODYNE RAPID RELIEF
People describe the pain of sensitivity in lots of different ways. The sufferers who took part in the latest Sensodyne campaign film described it as a sharp, stabbing pain, like nails running down a blackboard or being stabbed by needles. One thing is clear: it is an intensely unpleasant sensation.
No one likes being in pain. Despite this, sufferers will find other ways to cope with it instead, like avoiding certain food and drinks, drinking through a straw or putting their tongue over their teeth to protect them. While these might help to avoid pain, they may also have a big impact on quality of life.
As part of the Sensodyne campaign film, sufferers explained some of the ways tooth sensitivity impacts on their lives.
All the participants said they avoided the food and drink that they know triggers their sensitivity. Oliver, one of the participants, declared: “I would never in a million years bite into an ice lolly,”² while Juliana confessed: “you have to be quite careful when you are out with friends as you don’t want to trigger it.”³
It’s clear that the pain of sensitivity isn’t something you can ignore.
