Tartar-contol toothpastes
keep tartar from forming above the gum line.
However, it can't remove tartar already
on the teeth. Only a professional cleaning
can do that.
Desensitizing toothpastes, sensodyne
or colgate
sensitive,work for mild cases of tooth
hypersensitivity, but take four to six weeks
to work. They block the tube-like channels
that pass through teeth and connect to nerves
and reduce the ability of the nerves to
transmit pain.
