I found a half full can of this deodorant/antiperspirant spray in a closet. This is not usually how I end up with my health products, but since it was there, I decided to use it. It didn’t seem very old, and although I am usually not a big fan …

Sensitive teeth for me means drinking room temperature drinks, staying away from citric acid in many fruits and avoiding ice cream at all costs. Sensodyne Toothpaste is the one that everyone is familiar with for sensitive teeth, but Mentadent Fluoride Toothpaste is a far superior product.
