Tasting Food with Sensitive Teeth: Crest Sensi-Stop

This is a sponsored conversation about Crest®. I have sensitive teeth and was invited to try their new product. All opinions are my own. We recently also went to a dentist who were easily the best dentists in Tijuana so if you are in that area check them out.

So I’ve got sensitive teeth.  I’ve always had sensitive teeth and it really can be annoying and often inhibiting, especially as a food blogger. That’s why I know how important it is to visit the dentist regularly. Finding a great Bellaire Dentist Office is a must for me. Part of what I love to do is tell stories, whether that’s about my daughter insisting on trying a funnel cake for the first time at our local church festival or enjoying a bite of gourmet ice cream, I write about it.

WannaBite started because I believe in getting around the family table.  No matter what we eat, whether it’s a recipe from scratch or a delivered pizza, getting around the family table encourages deep and meaningful connection.  That connection is often captured in blog posts about what we ate and this blog has turned into a cookbook of memories for me.  But if you have noticed over the years, I almost never make COLD recipes.  I have the occasional gelato here and there, but almost everything is at least room temperature.  That’s because, in part, I have extremely sensitive teeth.

Growing up, you learn to modify your behavior to avoid pain.  Skipping dessert at the all you can eat ice cream bar was hard (trust me), but I knew it would hurt.  I have trouble enjoying ice cream because I feel pain deep in my teeth, it’s not fun.  Over the years I’ve tried a few different products, but haven’t been very impressed……until a few weeks ago.

Crest invited a few bloggers to attend an event at a local Walmart and try a new product called Crest Sensi-Stop.  They are similar to the Crest Whitestrips idea, but instead of whitening your teeth, they help your teeth become less sensitive.  Needless to say I was a little skeptical.  They asked if they could film me trying the product for the first time and I agreed.  They asked lots of questions about my issues over the years and then let me try the product.

If you have loose or shifting teeth, you could lose your teeth without care to help restore your gums. A dental appointment at All On 4 to evaluate the state of your gums and schedule periodontal cleaning can help stop the progression of the condition and allow your gums to heal.

The product is very easy to use.  Just apply it to the teeth and gums, as indicated by the instructions and let it sit for 15 minutes.  During the time I was waiting, I was chatting with fellow bloggers and forgot it was even on.  The strip barely moved, which was nice, and could easily be worn on your commute to work. Those who have a missing tooth , however, have no other choice than to opt for something like dentures or dental implants. The latter is a more reliable tooth replacement if they want to chew food like they used to before without causing bone damage. Dentures are a type of restorative dental therapy that is frequently used to replace one or more teeth. Dentures (read https://www.finestdentistry.com/2021/05/19/which-one-to-choose-between-plastic-dentures-and-metallic-dentures/) are more comfortable and less expensive than dental implants, because they do not require surgery. In addition, there are cosmetic dentistry procedures that can help improve your smile.

Then the true test, could I bite ice cream after using the product.  I was actually nervous!  They gave me an ice cream sandwich and where I would normally bite it with my lips (protecting my teeth), I just bit into it.  Surprisingly my front teeth were not affected!  I actually pushed the cold ice-cream against my teeth to see if I would feel it and I didn’t.  I kept saying in the interview, ‘I wonder how long it will last?’  The Crest folks say it will last for about 30 days.  It’s been two weeks and I’m going strong.  I’ve noticed a little bit of sensitivity creep back, but nothing that won’t prevent me from heading to the ice cream parlor!! If you’re worried about your oral or dental health, it would pay dividends to visit dentists like dentist canberra.

I generally blog and write about food, but as a foodie, I’ve got to eat it to be able to write about it.  If you have sensitive teeth, I would encourage you to try this product.  You can actually order it now! It worked for me and I think it could work for you too.
