KöR Complete® Should Be Your Tooth Desensitizer of Choice, Here's Why
Tooth Sensitivity is a big concern among dentist’s and patient’s alike. In particular, the biggest side effect to teeth whitening is sensitivity and even the prospect of discomfort can scare away many patients despite having a strong desire to have white teeth. There is a long list of different products and methods to combat sensitivity and the results are mixed to say the least.
KöR Complete Desensitizer has proven to be one of the most effective options in reducing or eliminating tooth sensitivity. Its unique formula attacks sensitivity at its source and KöR Complete Desensitizer has been shown to be an effective and durable desensitizer for virtually any clinical requirement, including treatment of generalized and localized tooth sensitivity; post periodontal surgery and hygiene procedures; and under direct, temporary/provisional and final indirect restorations.
Here are three reasons why KöR Complete Desensitizer should be your top choice for fast, effective sensitivity relief:
Follow the Science and Treat the Cause of Sensitivity
To properly treat tooth sensitivity, and specifically whitening sensitivity, it pays to understand what causes it. Tiny pathways called dentinal tubules run from the surface of the tooth all the way to the pulp. Smear plugs are natural barriers that close off the opening of the dentinal tubule on the enamel surface. Whitening gel dislodges or removes these smear plugs which makes it open season for stimuli to irritate the nerve.
Other factors that cause long term sensitivity include low salivary pH and an acidic diet. Acid found in certain foods and drinks have long-term negative effects on dentinal tubules by enlarging the diameter and flaring the orifice of dentinal tubules. This makes it easier to dislodge the tubular plug, and more difficult to re-plug the dentinal tubule.
Common treatments for whitening sensitivity include fluoride, ACP, and potassium nitrate. They all try to dull the discomfort through a chemical reaction, but unfortunately, they do nothing to treat the cause. Consequently, the results to these treatments are very mixed.
Unlike other oxalate desensitizers, KöR Complete fuses to the hydroxyapatite molecule in tooth structure through a chelation reaction. This forms a durable compound of calcium oxalate mineral crystals fused to peritubular hydroxyapatite, deep within dentinal tubules. This allows the dentinal tubules to close and stay closed. This reduces the chance of developing sensitivity by treating the cause of sensitivity rather than simply addressing the symptoms.
Fast Acting Effective Relief
Combatting sensitivity require immediate results. Fluoride, ACP, and potassium nitrate are slow acting treatments. It may take weeks to see a positive result. Even then, the results have proven to be inconsistent.
KöR Complete Desensitizer instantly fuses to the tooth structure and closes open dentinal tubules. The instant and strong bond leads to reducing or eliminating sensitivity quickly and effectively. Since time is such a critical aspect to reducing discomfort, KöR Complete Desensitizer is a great option for quickly and effectively reducing or eliminating tooth sensitivity.
