My overall sensitivity has calmed down and believe me I’ve tried everything since my recent flare up, happy to report hot & cold food and beverage consumption has finally returned to normal.

I had part 1 of a rootcanal done and the next day it started to throb. My gums all became extremely irritated and sensitive too. It was the weekend so i couldn't see the dentist. The pain was horrendous. I tried Nurofen, Panadol, saltwater and nothing stopped the pain one bit. I read online to try rubbing on toothpaste... I rubbed on Spotlight Sensitive and felt immediate relief. I dont know what's in the toothpaste but it worked. For the few days i had the toothpaste in my handbag and was rubbing it on in work, in the car, during the night in bed, everywhere.it would immediately ease the pain so i could sleep a bit. It stopped me going out of my mind with pain. I never wish to experience that sort of agony again so i will continue to use Spotlight and have bought the childrens one for my kids. Yes, it is expensive but i think it's so important to care for your teeth. By the way, i ran out of spotlight in the midst of the agony and couldn't get it in my local chemist. I tried 3 other toothpastes that i had in the house, including one well known brand for sensitive teeth. None of them relieved the pain at all........ Ive spent a lot of money {and endured a lot of pain} at the dentist the last few years so i am very conscious of minding my teeth now. I will continue to buy Spotlight.
