This giveaway is closed. Congrats to the winner listed below.

I have sensitive teeth. I can’t remember not having sensitive teeth. Biting ice cream…forget it. It’s always taken me a long time to eat ice cream, because I have to lick it or let it melt in my mouth. It cannot touch my teeth. Yikes!

I know I’m not the only person who deals with sensitive teeth. And we all want relief. The new Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste is the answer. This toothpaste is specifically made to relieve sensitivities in teeth.

Here is a little more about Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste:

Colgate-Palmolive Introduces Breakthrough Solution to Help the Millions of U.S. Consumers Suffering from Tooth Sensitivity

Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste Delivers Faster and Long-Lasting Sensitivity Relief

NEW YORK, NY (August 2, 2011) – Colgate-Palmolive proudly introduces Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste, a major advance in the treatment of tooth sensitivity. With its exclusive formula, this breakthrough toothpaste offers faster relief to the 40 million consumers in the U.S. that suffer from tooth sensitivity.1

“Sensitivity is more than just an inconvenience, it’s a common condition that can cause unwanted pain,” said Dr. William DeVizio, VP, Global Technology, Colgate-Palmolive. “New Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste is clinically proven to deliver faster and long-lasting sensitivity relief versus a leading sensitive toothpaste.2 Its proprietary formula penetrates to the source of pain, the nerve, to soothe the pain faster, shielding the nerve to prevent the pain from coming back.”

Tooth sensitivity is an oral condition that affects up to 57% of consumers worldwide.3 Cold Air, a hot drink or a sweet dessert can trigger acute sensitivity pain. Likewise, the touch of a dental instrument can make routine dental visits unbearable. This discomfort may lead sensitivity sufferers to avoid regular check ups – neglect that can result in a progression of oral care problems. Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief empowers consumers to treat and prevent their sensitivity symptoms, helping to eliminate the fear of sensitivity pain.

“Building on the success of its companion in-office professional product, Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste offers an innovative approach to treating tooth sensitivity and will help consumers control their tooth sensitivity and live life to the fullest,” said Nigel Burton, President, Global Oral Care, Colgate-Palmolive.

As a global leader in oral care, Colgate-Palmolive continues to deliver solutions that address serious oral conditions, helping to improve the oral health and well-being of consumers worldwide. The launch of Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste extends Colgate-Palmolive’s technology leadership to the sensitive segment and will revolutionize the way millions of consumers treat and prevent sensitivity pain.

Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste is now available at mass retailers, grocery and drug stores nationwide. For more information about Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste, please visit www.colgatesensitiveprorelief.com.

I have been using the Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste for several weeks now. My teeth have already shown improvement. When I was brushing at night I had to use lukewarm water to rinse when I was done brushing. Anything colder hurt my teeth. After using the new Colgate toothpaste for only a short while, that sensitivity has gone away. I am really pleased with it.

I like that the toothpaste is a light taste, so that’s not overpowering like so many toothpastes. The consistency is great. And I am happy with the results. This is a toothpaste that I will continue to use.

I definitely recommend the new Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste to anyone with sensitive teeth. You will find this in stores everywhere. And two lucky readers will win their own Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste and toothbrush. (Two winners each with toothpaste & toothbrush.) Please enter in the form below.
