Is this toothpaste gentle enough for sensitive teeth or easily irritated gums? — Natural toothpaste "Mineral Salts of Baikal" 85 grams - Babushka Agafja Natura Siberica.

The formula is described as suitable for people who prefer a softer approach to oral hygiene, and it includes sea buckthorn oil, Siberian pine seed oil and amaranth seed oil, which are used in cosmetics for their softening properties. The mineral salt, sea salt and hydrated silica are included for cleansing and gentle polishing rather than aggressive abrasion.

However, the paste also contains mint, eucalyptus and menthol, plus sage oil and foaming agents. These ingredients create a cooling sensation, but they can feel strong for some people, especially if the mouth is already sensitive. If you know you react to essential oils or menthol, or if your gums are currently irritated, begin with a very small amount and brush only briefly at first. Stop using the product if it causes significant discomfort.

For persistent gum irritation, enamel sensitivity, bleeding, or any other ongoing dental concern, a dentist is the right person to recommend an appropriate toothpaste.
