Fluoride / potassium nitrate topical for Prevention of Dental Caries "I could only use this for a couple of days. It may say 'sensitive' on the label and be designed for helping reduce sensitivity, but it actually made a few teeth so much more sensitive I couldn't put ANYTHING in my mouth without causing excruciating nerve pain. Before it was just extreme temperatures causing a little twinge. This new feeling was so bad, even my tongue just touching the teeth caused shooting pain. I was able to calm the tooth back down through a miracle combination of Flonase and Sudafed to empty my sinuses and relieve any congestion from the cold weather, brushing with plain water, and finishing with a dry mouth rinse. Still hurts from an existing filling, but it's not as bad now."

Fluoride / potassium nitrate topical "I have used this toothpaste for years for my sensitive teeth, and it is excellent! My sensitivity completely went away. Every time I try to switch to an OTC toothpaste like Sensodyne, I have to switch back to this one."

For Prevention of Dental Caries "I have been using Crest Whitening for sensitivity therapy toothpaste for a couple of weeks now, and I recently noticed that across the middle part of my tongue, it's kind of numb, and my taste buds are dull. Today, I noticed that my upper lip is numb as well. I have never experienced anything like this before."

Fluoride / potassium nitrate topical for Prevention of Dental Caries "Be careful with this toothpaste. I, after a few weeks, have severe side effects. Throat closing, excessive itching with hives. My ears are buzzing. Very itchy all over."
