Having sensitive teeth can make any fun activity an unpleasant experience. If you know what I’m talking about, then you have to be wary because it can also be a warning sign of more serious dental problems. Remineralization is something that most of us need regardless whether we whiten our teeth or not.
I personally like to use teeth whitening kits because it is the perfect way to get a beautiful white smile. But, if you are not careful enough you can cause permanent damage to your teeth.
Allow me to explain how teeth whitening kits can be damaging to your teeth. Some ingredients found in these kits can destroy the protective enamel, making your teeth sensitive.
Although you don’t whiten your teeth, there are still many factors that cause enamel demineralization to take place. This can be due to the quality of saliva, poor oral hygiene, using certain medications, or even just from having a diet that’s high in sugar or carbs.
I have used various special kinds of toothpaste and oral gels after bleaching and can definitely say that remineralizing gel or remineralizing toothpaste are the best options for teeth strengthening and sensitivity reduction.
Today’s post will help you to understand the different types of tooth remineralization products available and what might benefit you and your smile.
The Best Component Module
Dr. Song has been creating professional teeth whitening products for over 30 years. The Dr Song remineralization gel comes with 8 syringes which allows you around 50 applications.
The gel is developed using Sodium Fluoride and Potassium Nitrate.
During teeth whitening these ingredients:
- Reduce teeth sensitivity
- Restore minerals
- Strengthen enamel
I purchased this remineralizing gel because I recently reviewed the Dr. Song teeth whitening kit and it worked GREAT.
I followed the instructions and applied a small amount of gel to the bottom interior of the teeth tray. I positioned the tray over my teeth and pressed it gently so that the remineralization gel covered the entire surface of my teeth.
There was a little bit of overflow which didn’t taste very pleasant so make sure you wipe the gel before it gets into your mouth.
You can leave it in your mouth anywhere between 30 mins and 4 hours. I decided to go for an hour because I didn’t have the patience to sit there with the tray in my mouth for any longer than that.
I had very little sensitivity afterward which was GREAT. After only two more uses of the remineralizing gel, the sensitivity was totally gone.
Key Features:
- Very easy to assemble and not hassle to use
- Worth your money
Specification:
Pros
- Noticeable difference after only two uses
- Gets rid of coffee stains
- Trays can be mold to your teeth
Cons
- Instructions don’t always come with the package
This remineralization gel came with 5 Syringes so not as many as the Dr. Song solution. They didn’t come with any instructions which were a bit annoying so I followed the same routine as I had done with the other remineralizing gels.
I decided to use the gel overnight because I wanted to try and get the maximum effect. When I woke up the gel had left a thin but not unpleasant film that bonded to my teeth.
The results were AMAZING!
The sensitivity caused by the teeth whitening process was no longer there. I was able to drink a cold drink almost straight away.
My gums had been a little bit tender and the remineralization gel seemed to fix that issue as well.
Key Features:
- Returns the essential vitamins and minerals to your teeth
- Reduces your teeth sensitivity
- Strengthens your tooth enamel
Specification:
Pros
- No need to get special toothpaste
- Works fast with amazing results
- Takes away painful sensitivity
Cons
- No ingredients included in the packaging
Natural toothpaste can take a bit of getting used to as they don’t tend to foam up like regular toothpaste, but don’t let that put you off.
The Redmon Earthpaste did reduce my sensitivity but didn’t completely get rid of it. This is a nice toothpaste to use though and it doesn’t need to be a temporary thing.
I like all the flavors but if I had to pick a favorite I would say it’s the lemon twist, it’s just so different.
These remineralizing toothpastes are also great for kids.
Key Features:
- Naturally polishes away surface stains
- No added chemicals
- Safe to swallow
Specification:
Pros
- Gets rid of sensitivity
- Works great reducing gum pockets
- Comes in four flavors
Cons
Uncle Harry’s have been making natural earth-friendly products for the last 20 years. It’s a family run business that works out of a beautiful 9-acre farm in Redmond, Washington.
Their Remineralization Liquid comes in a 1-ounce bottle and consists of:
- Ionic alkalizing minerals
- clove
- pink salt
- Peppermint essential oils
- eucalyptus
- wintergreen
- oregano
The reason I wanted to try this particular brand was that it is vegan and gluten-free. A friend of mine who is vegan asked me if I knew of any Remineralization teeth products that were vegan-friendly.
I didn’t, so I did my research and found this little gem. I followed the instructions that were supplied with it.
First, you need to hold ten drops of the liquid into your mouth till your it’s wet with your saliva. Swish it around for about 5 minutes and then spit it out.
You don’t need to rinse out your mouth afterward – Remember all the ingredients are Natural! I have been using Uncle Harry’s Remineralization Liquid for a week now and the results have been BRILLIANT.
My teeth are a lot less sensitive and my breath is really fresh. The blend of ingredients is AMAZING!
And it shows that you do not need a load of chemicals to get results. If you like the Uncle Harry products then why not try the full remineralization kit with tooth whitening toothpaste polish.
Key Features:
- Strengthens your teeth naturally through neutralizing some acids found in your mouth
- Comes with and easy-to-use dropper
- Remineralizes teeth without the mess
- Contains essential oils, calcium carbonate, mustard seed powder, and sea salt
Specification:
Pros
- Makes teeth and gums healthier and stronger
- Greatly helps with sensitivity
- Works for enamel problems
Cons
Watts Power FCP comes as a 4 pack so the value for money isn’t as good as the other remineralizing gels that I have reviewed today.
When it arrived I read the instructions and I was a little bit confused because it said: “Rinse out your trays before applying a very small amount in the front and back of each tray. Let set in your mouth for 4-5 minutes. Remove trays and do not rinse mouth”
But then further down the instructions, it tells you to rinse your mouth? I would suggest rinsing your mouth after because I don’t think it would be a good idea to swallow too many of the chemicals.
The gel tastes very minty but NOT offensive in any way. This time I decided to leave the mouth tray and gel in overnight to see what the effects would be like.
They were good but my teeth were still a little bit sensitive when I drank a cold glass of water. The sensitivity reduction did improve after a few weeks though.
I found that if you used the remineralizing gel once a week during the teeth whitening process and once a week thereafter this provided me with the best results.
Key Features:
- Dual action for surface and deep stains
- Turns your yellow teeth into a brighter, whiter and healthier smile in less than 20 days
Specification:
Pros
- Gel is not too runny, stays on the trays
- Whitens teeth fast
- Great value for your money
Cons
- Need to avoid swallowing while using the product
I am a fan of the Uncle Harry range as I love completely natural products. There is a spearmint option too but I wanted to try something different and I love the taste of cinnamon.
It did seem strange at first using cinnamon toothpaste but I love it and find it so refreshing. The best way I can describe the feeling after using this toothpaste is the way your teeth feel after having a professional clean at the dentist, FRESH.
After using for only a week my teeth feel noticeably stronger. My mouth and teeth feel AMAZING. The only issue is that I am now addicted to brushing my teeth because this stuff tastes so good!
Key Features:
- Leaves your breath with fresh cinnamon scent all day
- Naturally whitens teeth
- Recommended for sensitive gums and teeth
Specification:
Pros
- Keeps teeth healthy
- Just a little goes a long way
- Keeps teeth feeling clean and breath fresh
Cons
- Spicy
It might seem extreme to be ordering your toothpaste from Japan but then sometimes you need to go the extra mile to get the best results. Your teeth will certainly thank you for it!
I read about a study in Japan where children used Apagard Premio over a period of a year and they found that cavities in this group dropped significantly. After this, I had to try it out for myself.
The only downside to it traveling halfway across the world is that it can take a while to receive it.
The tube is fairly small BUT you really only need to use a small amount, around the size of a pea so it does actually last a long time.
This completely cured my sever tooth sensitivity and had a surprisingly extra bonus of making my teeth much whiter!
I love this remineralizing toothpaste!
Key Features:
- Replenishes mineral
- Removes stains
Specification:
Pros
- Gives teeth a smooth feeling after usage
- Great results after one brushing
Cons
- Packaging has no English translation
Buyer Guide Questions
How Do Remineralizing Gels Work?
Remineralizing gel rejuvenates and desensitizes your enamel by replenishing the key minerals within your teeth. This process repairs early cavities and also prompts cells within your teeth to start multiplying, forming a stronger new tooth tissue that replaces the one eroded by teeth whitening.
There are many factors that can cause the enamel on your teeth to erode leaving small holes which lead directly to the nerves within your teeth.
