Proper comprehensive care will help maintain oral health and a beautiful smile. The Lakalut Sensitive line of pastes and rinses was created specifically for the prevention and care of sensitive teeth.
Many negative factors have a harmful effect on the condition of enamel every day. This includes poor nutrition, bad habits, and excessive consumption of drinks that destroy enamel. In the absolute opinion of most dentists, improper daily oral care plays an important role: inappropriate personal hygiene products, low-quality brushes, pastes containing high amounts of harsh abrasive substances. All this leads to thinning of tooth enamel and dentin exposure. This fact not only leads to tooth hypersensitivity, but also serves as a provoking factor for the development of caries and many other dental problems.
According to data, every third person occasionally faces the problem of increased sensitivity of tooth enamel, and every tenth suffers constantly. But not everyone uses a paste designed to solve this problem.
Toothpaste "Lakalut Sensitive". Pharmacological action and indications
The paste reduces the sensitivity of enamel, increases its susceptibility to acids, provides protection against caries, strengthens and restores the structure of the enamel. Thanks to the soft abrasive substances included in the paste, Lakalut Sensitive perfectly removes plaque without damaging the coating of the teeth. Chlorhexidine (Chlorhexidinibigluconas) relieves inflammatory processes, aluminum lactate (aluminum lactate) has an astringent effect and reduces bleeding gums, amino fluoride and sodium fluoride strengthen the structure, preventing carious development.
“Lakalut Extra Sensitive” is recommended for use in case of high sensitivity, plaque, stones, remineralization of enamel after a whitening procedure or removal of plaque and stone.
Treatment and prevention: complex effects
Due to the presence of amonofluoride and sodium fluoride in the composition, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the tooth, which serves as a barrier to the formation of caries (including the cervical form) and protects the enamel from the destructive effects of external irritants - cold and hot drinks, foods with high acidity, reducing sensitivity. With damaged enamel, the likelihood of tooth decay increases as bacterial growth increases. Chlorhexidine prevents the development of pathogenic microflora. To prevent inflammatory processes in the gums, as well as to strengthen them, aluminum lactate is included in the paste. Abrasive components gently remove plaque, polishing the surface without damaging it.
Emergency dental care
Hyperesthesia is a thinning and increased sensitivity of tooth enamel to external irritating factors, often accompanied by unpleasant sensations or sharp pain. It is important to correctly select and regularly use a special paste and mouthwash aimed at solving this problem. For treatment and preventive measures, a line of oral products is recommended for patients with hypersensitivity.
Pastes for sensitive teeth “Lakalut Sensitive” help cope with hypersensitivity almost instantly, allowing you to feel the effect after the first applications - sensitivity will decrease and discomfort will disappear. An amazing effect is provided by two active ingredients included in the paste - amino fluoride and sodium fluoride. The first of them is an organic fluorine compound that creates a barrier layer on the surface of the enamel, which prevents the formation of caries and strengthens its structure. The second component is an inorganic fluorine compound. Designed not only to protect and strengthen teeth, but also to assist in the mineralization of enamel. Together, these two drugs provide an immediate reduction in sensitivity.
Recommendations for use
It is important not only to choose the right paste, but also to use it correctly. To do this, you need to consult a dentist, who will examine the oral cavity and give appropriate recommendations. There are rules that must be followed:
- Do not expect a quick and strong effect from using toothpaste. It is necessary to brush your teeth daily for at least a week until you get the first results;
- When brushing your teeth, the paste should not be washed off immediately, but held on for a while so that the effect is stronger;
- You should not constantly brush your teeth with special toothpastes. The paste does not clean the stone 100%, as it has a low level of abrasiveness;
- The product has an analgesic effect, and you can easily miss the signs of emerging pathology in the oral cavity;
- Limit sour foods.
Double protection
If the enamel is highly sensitive and causes a lot of unpleasant moments, then oral care should be doubly careful. Using a mouthwash throughout the day will not only increase the effectiveness of the toothpaste, but will also replace its use during the time when it is not possible to brush your teeth. For a more lasting effect, we recommend the combined use of paste and rinse for sensitive teeth from the same Lakalut Sensitive series. The rinse enhances the effect of the main product, providing protection between cleanings throughout the day. It is recommended to use this product 2-3 times a day (between or after cleaning the mouth).
The action of the rinse, as well as the action of the paste in this series, is aimed at strengthening and reducing the sensitivity of the enamel, as well as preventing caries and the proliferation of bacteria. It is an integrated approach to oral care that will keep your teeth healthy and snow-white.
Toothpaste Lakalut LACALUT Extra Sensitive for sensitive teeth - reviews
I don’t know how much longer I would have suffered if I hadn’t bought this paste.
There was a problem - the teeth hurt, the whole right side, and it was not clear which tooth specifically, and from below or from above... They hurt in different ways: in the evening before bed, in the morning, during the day, they hurt from warm soup, tea, etc. This is some kind of it was a nightmare... After going outside, I come into the room and they whine... Pure hell... You wouldn't wish this on anyone... Naturally, I went to different dental clinics...
Hike number one.
Naturally, I went to my native dentist, whom I have been going to for about 10 years.... My mother and our friends to whom we recommended her go to her. I say: there’s a problem, my teeth hurt…. She x-rayed me - looked at the x-ray and said that she saw some kind of crap in one tooth, and it needed to be opened... Well, she knows better... She opened it and removed the nerve (without warning me that the nerve would have to be removed), inserted a pin... . While I was treating this tooth, the pain did not stop... Even from the water and the air she blew through... It turned out that another tooth, the front one, needed to be treated... She prescribed me the removal of another nerve in this anterior...
As a result, she removed 2 nerves for me - one in a healthy tooth, the other in a filled, front one... And she prescribed me to remove the nerve in the third tooth, but on the day when I was supposed to go have it removed, my teeth suddenly stopped hurting. I came to her and said: maybe I shouldn’t delete it? It doesn't hurt anymore... And then she agreed with me... And she said: “Or maybe you just have sensitive enamel and you need to strengthen your tooth enamel with calcium and fluoride?” CURTAIN………My indignation knows no bounds….Question - couldn’t she have advised me on this before, BEFORE removing the nerves?? I still can’t believe it - why remove the nerves?? As it turned out later, they had nothing to do with it... Oh, how I am very offended by her...
Hike number two.
Another doctor examined her and also did not find the cause of the pain... Her verdict was: “You probably have neuralgic pain. Go to a dental surgeon after taking a picture of the entire cavity first.” Well, I decided to go to the dental surgeon...
Hike number three.
A colleague at work advised me to go to a female surgeon who works in a regular city dentistry. Naturally, according to the compulsory medical insurance policy, I am tied to my district dentistry, and I went on a paid basis. I came to her. She looked at everything and sent me for an x-ray with suspicion of pulpitis. The X-ray showed that everything was fine, and then she realized that the problem was the hypersensitivity of some particular area and took me to another specialist and he began to blow air through all my teeth in turn (where the tooth ends and the gum begins) and asked: does it hurt or not? And then, during one such “blow-through”, severe pain arose.... It was as if a needle had been stuck into the gum.... I reacted: “ahhh it hurts” and the doctors identified the source of my problems - it was a “wedge-shaped defect” in the 6th upper tooth....
They advised me to undergo calcium-fluoride strengthening procedures and buy toothpaste for sensitive enamel. Paste New Pearl calcium and make applications with this paste. I bought LACALUT Extra Sensitive toothpaste for sensitive teeth and started brushing my teeth with this paste at home. And - lo and behold - the pain in my teeth is gone! And literally the next day my teeth didn’t hurt AT ALL! Lord, where was I before??? Why didn’t I immediately buy this wonderful paste, I would have saved my wallet (and a lot of money was spent on removing nerves - about 10 thousand rubles....) and 2 dental nerves………
Such a sad story.
Verdict - you need to go to several doctors, and not to your “favorite” regular doctor, who may in some cases not be entirely competent...
Healthy and beautiful teeth to everyone!
Usage

The action of the rinse begins immediately, creating a protective layer on the tooth surface. After the procedure, it is not recommended to eat or drink for the first 30 minutes to achieve maximum results.

Sensitive teeth: how to choose a toothpaste?
Dental problems can cause discomfort for anyone. There is hardly a person who was not afraid of the dentist as a child. One of the unpleasant manifestations may be increased sensitivity.
What is hypersensitivity
Any person can experience increased sensitivity of enamel for a short time. It’s worse when this condition takes a permanent form and prevents you from enjoying delicious dishes, drinks, or leads to a fear of opening your mouth on a frosty walk, since cold air touching your teeth leads to pain.
More precisely, sensitivity increases due to thinning of the enamel. Then it is easier for any external influences to reach the nerve inside the tooth through thin tubes that penetrate the hard tissue. Normally, a sufficient layer of enamel covers the dentin and reliably protects the nerve endings from any external irritants.
Symptoms
Unpleasant sensations and pain are caused by something that was not paid any attention to before:
- Cold drinks
- Hot tea
- Candies
- Teeth cleaning
- Any acidic drinks (juices, soda)
- Touching teeth
Sometimes these symptoms can occur with caries, periodontal disease, and enamel defects after chipping. But it also happens that the teeth seem to be absolutely healthy, but there is a problem.
The cause of increased sensitivity can be completely different actions
Causes
The cause of increased sensitivity can be completely different actions, but they are united by one excessive effect of acid on the enamel:
- Frequent use of mouthwash. They often contain acids.
- Recent bleaching. If the dentist did it, then it was done carefully and they gave you clear recommendations on what is possible and what is not. Worse. if you carried out whitening procedures at home yourself, you used strong products and could damage the enamel surface.
- There are problems with the gums from smoking, lack of professional hygiene, the formation of tartar and, as a result, exposure of the roots.
- You damage your enamel by gnawing on seeds, nuts, or other hard foods or objects.
- Rejection of stomach contents into the mouth. The so-called esophageal reflux disease, when the sphincter of the entrance to the esophagus closes weakly for some reason and when bending forward, physical activity, or in the evening before bed, acidic contents from the stomach are refluxed.
- Frequent consumption of acidic drinks during the day.
It can also be a symptom of other problems in the body.
What to do
If you know what could have caused the increase in sensitivity, rule out the effect of this factor. Also avoid anything that can negatively affect the enamel. Put off whitening, use toothpastes with a minimal abrasive effect, and a toothbrush with soft bristles.
A large number of toothpastes have been developed for sensitive teeth that can help cope with this problem.
- Hilfen Toothpaste Sensitive formula
- Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief
- PresiDent Sensitive
- Lacalut Extra Sensitive
- Elmex Sensitive plus
- Asepta Sensitive
- Lacalut Sensitive
- Hilfen Toothpaste Sensitive formula
- Splat Professional Sensitive
Price categories and manufacturers can vary greatly. But there are several general important points that help achieve the desired effect of reducing sensitivity.
- Features of toothpaste for sensitive teeth:
- They have a low RDA. He talks about particle size. For the most gentle pastes, it can be less than 15. The lower the number, the smaller the particles contained in the paste and the more gentle they are on the enamel.
- Almost all contain calcium hydroxyapatite. It helps in remineralizing the enamel and restoring the barrier against external irritants.
- Fluorine can be contained in high concentrations or absent altogether. There is no consensus on the benefits or harms of fluoride. The peculiarity of many regions of Russia is that they are endemic areas for fluoride deficiency and the risk of developing fluorosis, which everyone is afraid of, is practically absent.
- Medicinal soothing herbs, extracts. They have a greater effect on the condition of the gums than on the enamel itself. It will be important for periodontal disease and bleeding gums.
If sensitivity continues to bother you, you should contact your dentist. The doctor may recommend specialized highly concentrated remineralizing gels for a course of treatment:
- ROCS Medical Minerals Remineralizing gel
- ROCS Medical Minerals Remineralizing gel for children Strawberry
Also, in a dental office, it is possible to apply protective coatings to the surface of teeth to reduce sensitivity.
