Patient Stories: Thank You Dentist

Smiling patient with dentist

Callie wants to say Thank You

Callie went skiing for the first time and the cold wind hit her teeth. It triggered tooth sensitivity which was so uncomfortable she had to call Jenny, her dentist of 6 years, from the ski resort. Jenny recommended Sensodyne and it made all the difference.

  • Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Study

    Up to 1 in 3 patients may suffer from sensitivity1 but may not recognize there is a solution for it or even want to talk to you about it.1

    The Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ) offers in-depth insight into patient experiences by looking at the everyday impact sensitivity can have on quality of life.2-4

    Patients may adopt various habits to cope with sensitivity, including changing the way they eat and drink. Up to 80% of them will try to avoid contact between triggers and certain teeth. But despite this, they may not seek a solution.2

    This is often because patients are not aware that this is a common problem and it can be managed simply.

    Sensodyne has many years of experience working with leading experts in the field of sensitivity and we want to help make a difference to the daily comfort and overall quality of life of your patients. To read more about the full impact of sensitivity, download the DHEQ Study Report below.
