Sunshine Remineralization Gel - 5 Syringes

Prior to starting my whitening process, I had expressed concern to my dentist about sensitivity. I’d had a bad experience many years ago with OTC whitening strips and hoped to avoid any problems. My dentist prescribed me a special toothpaste to use for a couple weeks before starting, but had failed to tell me that I should not rinse (even with water) immediately after using it. That was my routine and I didn’t know any better. In spite of three weeks on the special toothpaste, I had zero benefit from it… of course I didn’t know this until after my first whitening session. I started my whitening process on Tuesday evening, using Opalescence 15 PF. By Wednesday morning, I was miserable. I started doing my own research for relief options and came upon this product. I ordered the same day and was fortunate to have to product in hand by Friday evening. It was perfect timing. The sensitivity had gotten better by Thursday evening, so I had whitened again and was again in pain on Friday. I was able to use the gel immediately and although it wasn’t complete instant relief, it made a huge difference in my level of discomfort. I repeated the treatment on Saturday morning for added relief. I have now whitened every night since then and followed it up with about 20 mins (the instructions recommended 5) of the re-mineralization gel. The active ingredient is 1% fluoride and the minty flavor is pleasant. As with the toothpaste, I spit it out after use; I do not rinse or drink anything for at least thirty minutes. The first day, I still had very mild sensitivity and now it is gone completely. I would definitely recommend this product! From my research, I learned that there are special calcium based toothpastes that will actually heal / seal the holes in the dentin, but they are not available OTC in the US yet. (Search Colgate Pro-Argin) Fortunately I will be visiting Canada soon and plan to pick some up. Regardless, I will never whiten again without having this re-mineralization gel on hand.

I know I should probably know better than to order something like this from Amazon but I couldn’t find it anywhere else and needed something like this after whitening my teeth before getting some new replacement crowns. First thing I noticed was it was bright blue!! Why would something designed for teeth whitening have ANY colour in at all? So much for the saying ‘if it stains a white T-shirt then it stains your newly whitened teeth’! I still didn’t think not to use it though which I know is probably my fault especially considering the packaging was essentially just a zip lock bag with a cheaply printed barcode sticker on and nothing else that you would normally expect from something medical that is going in your mouth. I put some of it in my trays and this was a couple of days after I last whitened so I’m so glad that I didn’t do it instantly afterwards because I could see the blue dye all over my teeth staining them. I panicked and brushed it off after a few minutes but there was still a blue tint and the remaining bright blue gel was still stuck to parts of my trays even after I had rinsed them off thoroughly under cold water. If it will stick to the trays it obviously will stain your newly whitened teeth as well so what is the point of having it in there?? It is a type of colour that washes off a bit compared to what it originally looked like but still it’s not enough to completely remove the colour and I don’t think a proper dentist would recommend using anything blue unless of course you were trying to counter a yellow stain which might be why some people are claiming it was whitening their teeth when it likely only toned down the existing yellow stains by staining them a different shade of colour. Something just doesn’t feel right about these though and the packaging is the main red flag for me because you have no idea what you’re really getting. At least from the dentist when you get the whitening gel from them you at least know whether they’re a reputable business and you know where you got it from and can complain if something goes wrong. These could have been made anywhere with literally anything inside them let alone the fact that they could easily be tampered with and you would never know because they could just seal the ziplock bag back up. In fact the packaging is so bad that one of them had popped open in the post and nearly went everywhere but luckily most had remained in the tube. There were no instructions either and I was a little confused about how to actually get it out of the cap and when trying to open the syringe, after it had already fallen apart previously in the post and I had to put the pump back in myself which must have caused excess pressure, it spilled a little when opening the cap. There are multiple red flags here and I would recommend against buying them at least not until they can provide some actual guarantees of safety, efficacy and reliability of ingredients to work but also not stain your teeth.

I was researching products for sensitive teeth, and came across this product. It seemed that most people were using this for sensitivity due to whitening. I got this hoping that it would reduce sensitivity that is not as a result of whitening, and I am happy to report that it has. I don’t have sensitive teeth, I have one sensitive tooth. Actually it is the side of one tooth. My dentist could not identify any reason for the sensitivity, and put some sort of product on at my last cleaning, but it only lasted about a week. This would be way too expensive and time consuming to do every week, and whatever the product, they told me that they could not give (or sell) it to me, that I would have to come into the office to have it applied (big surprise) This stuff does not provide as much relief as the stuff my dentist applied, but I would say it is 75% as good, and I can use it at home, for a small fraction of the cost. For the record I am treating hot/cold sensitivity. This comes with 5 individual tubes, each with a cap, that allows you to reseal it. I have no idea how much you might need to use to treat your entire mouth, but because I am treating one small area, I only use a tiny dab the size of a pea (if that) Because I am trying to get it in-between two teeth, I take a flossing pick and work the gel in between my teeth. If you have sensitivity between teeth, I find this method very effective. Also the gel is thick and “sticky” so it does not slip off of your tooth, it stays on pretty well. Once I apply it, I spit out anything in my mouth, but I do NOT rinse my mouth. I usually apply this at night, and leave it there all night. Again, I am using this on a small area, so I am not concerned that I will end up swallowing any of the product, especially with it wedged in-between two teeth. If you are treating all of your teeth, I would imagine that you would want to use a dental retractor for the duration of the treatment. When I first got this, I applied it every night for about a week, and now I apply it about twice per week. I have been using it for about 4 weeks now, and I am still on my first tube. I expect that one tube will last me about two months or so, and you get 5 tubes in a pack. For less than 10 bucks, you cannot beat it.

This remineralization gel works really well, especially when used consistently after teeth whitening treatments. It helps reduce sensitivity and keeps my teeth feeling comfortable after whitening. The gel is easy to apply, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the sensitivity of my teeth after regular use. While it’s not a miracle product, it does deliver solid results if you stick with it. I’d recommend this gel to anyone who’s experienced sensitivity after teeth whitening or who wants to maintain their teeth’s health after treatment

Prior to using this remineralization gel, I used every tooth sensitivity toothpaste product on the market. As a teen, I had to buy my own things, and thought that a harder toothbrush would get my teeth cleaner. There was no warning that it could damage enamel, so the unintended consequence was that I ended up with both enamel loss and painful areas along the gums, too. The gums retreated a bit from the harder brushing, just enough to expose a few painful areas. My teeth became so sensitive that I could not tolerate any temperature changes. It hurt my teeth not only to eat or drink hot or cold (enough that I didn't), it also hurt to breathe in cold air. The toothpastes helped, lessening the pain, though the relief was short-lived. I had to keep using the toothpaste to dampen the pain. This remineralization gel is often marketed to use after whitening teeth. I do not whiten my teeth, I used the gel to heal my teeth from the damage of long ago. I first came across the concept of a remineralization paste more than 10 years ago. At that time, there was a different product from overseas. Regardless of how long the instructions said to keep the gel on my teeth, I kept it on as long as I possibly could. At first, I didn't have the trays that fit on your teeth to hold the gel there. To get some, I purchased a whitening kit that had the whitening substance on trays. I washed all that product off and used those trays. They were flat styrofoam, and by disinfecting them well I was able to use them for a while. Eventually I came across the thermo-molding type of bite trays, used by some athletes for protection. I starting using those, and did all that I could to maximize the benefit from gel. When I could, I used it all day and/or all night. If I could not have the tooth trays on, I would take a little of the gel on my finger and rub it on the worst spots. My teeth had become translucent, and with time the gel made them less so. It also made them less sensitive, and unlike the toothpaste, it lasted! Of course, I also gave up most things that could be damaging to my teeth, such as acidic drinks. If I did have anything like that, I used a straw, and learned that I should wait a bit before brushing, as the acid softens the enamel and brushing right away does more damage than waiting until later. I also improved my diet, and became more consistent with vitamins and mineral supplements. It was the remineralization paste, though, that helped my teeth to heal in the first place. Over time, I forgot all about it! I no longer needed the special toothpaste, I could drink hot and cold beverages, etc. After a few years I felt some sensitivity developing again, and learned that the price of that other paste had skyrocketed, and I could no longer afford it. Instead, I found this gel, and used it with success for more years of pain-free teeth. More recently, a small chip came off of one of my teeth, so I ordered some gel to strengthen my teeth again. This time I also ordered packs of gel for my spouse and children. I'll admit, they did not ask for this, and have not been using it. They do not have the pain that I had as a motivating factor. Instead, due to various concerns that they had mentioned, my hope was to spare them from reaching that point. Perhaps, with it available, they will use it soon. It has worked again for me, so I've decided to share that in case someone else is looking for a solution for their sensitive teeth. When my teeth were quite bad, it did take a while of using the remineralization product as much as possible (no swallowing, though)! Sticking with it worked. The two times that I have come back to using addressing my teeth with remineralization, it has not taken as long to resolve the issue as it did the first time. Staying consistent with magnesium, boron, calcium, Vit D3, and potassium are the other ways that I take care of my bone health. If you are still reading this, then perhaps you are looking for a solution for tooth sensitivity. If that is the case, then I hope that this works for you, too!
