Thermodent Paste 100 g contains Potassium Nitrate as its active ingredient, commonly used in dentistry for the relief of tooth sensitivity. Potassium nitrate works by calming the nerves in the tooth, reducing the pain response to hot, cold, sweet, or acidic stimuli. It is often recommended for patients with exposed dentin due to gum recession, enamel wear, or after certain dental treatments like scaling, bleaching, or cavity preparation.

Uses:

• Relief from dentinal hypersensitivity (sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods)

• Protective treatment after professional dental cleaning or whitening

• Supportive care in cases of gum recession or enamel erosion

• May be used before dental procedures to minimize discomfort

Side Effects (usually mild and temporary):

• Temporary irritation or burning sensation in the gums or oral tissues

• Altered taste sensation during application

• Rarely, allergic reactions such as swelling, redness, or itching in the mouth

• If swallowed in large amounts, may cause nausea or stomach discomfort

Thermodent Paste should be applied as directed by a dentist, usually in small amounts directly to sensitive areas. Overuse should be avoided, and any persistent or worsening sensitivity should be evaluated by a dental professional.
