Product introduction
Senquel AD Mouth Wash is a desensitising oral rinse designed for people who experience discomfort from sensitive teeth, such as a sharp twinge when eating or drinking something hot, cold or sweet. It combines potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride with xylitol and cetylpyridinium chloride to address sensitivity while also supporting everyday oral care. Used as part of a regular brushing routine, it is meant to be swished around the mouth and then spat out rather than swallowed. It is available as a 150 ml bottle for home use.
Storage: Store below 30°C. Keep out of reach of children.
Uses of Senquel AD Mouth Wash
- Relief from sensitive teeth
- Strengthening tooth enamel
- Maintaining daily oral hygiene
- Freshening breath
Benefits of Senquel AD Mouth Wash
Regular use may gradually reduce the sharp, short-lived pain associated with sensitive teeth by calming the nerve response inside the tooth. The added sodium fluoride supports enamel strength, while cetylpyridinium chloride helps control the bacteria that contribute to plaque and bad breath. Xylitol adds a mild sweetness without contributing to tooth decay, making the rinse pleasant to use daily.
Side effects of Senquel AD Mouth Wash
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Mild tingling or a temporary numb sensation in the mouth
- Slight change in taste perception after use
- Occasional mouth or gum irritation
- Rare allergic reaction in sensitive individuals
How to use Senquel AD Mouth Wash
Shake the bottle well before use, then rinse the mouth with about 10 ml of the mouthwash twice a day, or as directed by the dentist. Swish it around the mouth for the recommended time before spitting it out, and avoid swallowing or eating immediately afterwards so the ingredients can work on the teeth.
How Senquel AD Mouth Wash works
Potassium nitrate is thought to work by calming the nerve endings inside the tiny tubules of the tooth's dentine layer, which reduces the sharp pain signal triggered by hot, cold or sweet stimuli. Sodium fluoride helps remineralise and strengthen the outer enamel surface, while cetylpyridinium chloride acts as an antibacterial agent that limits plaque build-up in the mouth.
