Can special toothpaste stop the pain of sensitive teeth?
NCT ID NCT07641322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether three different desensitizing toothpastes can reduce tooth sensitivity in people with braces. About 200 adults aged 18-40 with mild to moderate sensitivity will use one of the toothpastes or a placebo for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the special toothpastes provide more relief than the placebo.
