Biotene toothpaste

I think I’ve made it abundantly clear that, though in the past I’ve not cared much for ice cream, as of late, I’m all over it! In fact, Josh and I swung by Marble Slab and I finally perfected my Rocky Road! Chocolate ice cream, marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, and crumbled graham crackers! Oh! In a waffle bowl, of course It was perfection.

My ice cream enjoyment is always rather bittersweet though. I have some overly sensitive choppers that just can’t be stopped! I’ve tried sensitive toothpaste before, but I’ve never had a whole lot of success.

Today in the mail, I received a sample of Biotene to try out. Check out some of the specs:

• Maximum sensitivity relief & dry mouth protection.
• Helps prevent canker sores & irritation with a gentle low foaming formula.
• Includes xylitol to help prevent cavities.
• Natural enzymes defend against bacteria, plaque, and gingivitis.
• Great taste for fresh, clean breath!

I’ve already tried it out and so far, I’m liking it. It actually does have a pretty great taste. It tastes like the little square gum you get from the little quarter machines. I’m really pleased with how clean my teeth feel as well, so I’ll definitely be testing this one out as far as I can.

I haven’t had an opportunity to see if it really helps my sensitivity–we’re out of ice so I can’t even test it with ice water. I’d imagine it’ll take more than one use to really see the effects anyway.

I’d been given a bit of heads up that I might be checking this out, and I was excited. I’m even more excited to read the claim that it helps prevent canker sores. I’m not sure why, but I seem very prone to those ever since my days in braces!

I’m curious to read up a little more on this Xylitol–which they say helps prevent cavities. Without dental insurance right now, I could use all the help I can get in that department.

I’ll update when I feel I’ve given it a thorough enough try to determine whether or not it helps in the sensitivity department, but for now I’m giving it a preemptive A.
