Using sensodyne and parodontax toothpaste together?

jyshrekFeb 5, 2016
1. Is it okay to use sensodyne(contains fluoride) and parodontax toothpaste together? I brush two times with sensodyne and one time with parodontax. I am a little worried that it may minimize the effect of each toothpaste. 2. Can listerine cause tooth discoloration?? If it does, can it be removed by simple dental appointment like removal of stains?? I am worried it may permanently discolor the teeth.

Yes!!! Your teeth are made up of tubules, which expand with the bleach.  During the time these tubules are "enlarged," your teeth will soak up more color than normal.  It takes roughly 48 hours for those tubules to close.  After 48 hours you are safe to eat and drink normally!
