Blackwell Supplies has introduced its latest product, Denshield, designed to reduce sensitivity and treat the cause of sensitive teeth. Denshield provides rapid and continuous relief and actively reduces open dentine tubules to prevent the exposure of the pulp nerve to stimuli. Available as a home-treatment dentifrice, there is also an optional in-office treatment that offers immediate short-term relief.
Denshield contains NovaMin (calcium sodium phosphosilicate), composed of elements all found naturally in the body which are safe and biocompatible, according to the company. These elements create natural conditions for tooth mineralisation, repairing surface lesion and reducing sensitivity and gingivitis. The new tooth mineral built with Denshield is real hydroxyapatite and actively protects the tooth nerve instead of just stopping the pain signal.
