Decoding Dentine Discussions - Podcast Channel

🎙️ Welcome to Decoding Dentine Discussions – your go-to podcast for deep dives into dentine hypersensitivity (DH): one of the most common yet often misunderstood conditions in dentistry. Brought to you by Haleon, the makers of Sensodyne, this 8-part series brings together global experts to decode every aspect of DH – from its causes and mechanisms to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Across the episodes, we explore:

  • The science behind DH, including how enamel loss and exposed dentin trigger pain, and what the hydrodynamic theory tells us.

  • How to differentiate DH from similar conditions like caries or pulpitis, especially following periodontal therapy.

  • The role of early screening, diagnostic tools, and AI, as well as real-world case studies for more accurate and timely identification.

  • Global perspectives on DH prevalence, highlighting regional influences and the importance of culturally sensitive prevention strategies.

  • Step-by-step approaches to evidence-based treatment, from at-home care to advanced clinical interventions.

  • The power of education, both in undergraduate training and patient communication, to build confidence and improve outcomes.

  • Updates from expert advisory boards, including new clinical guidelines, myth-busting, and strategies to streamline practice protocols.

Whether you’re a practicing dentist, a dental student, or a dental professional just curious about dental health, this series offers practical, research-backed insights to help you better understand and manage dentine hypersensitivity.

👉 Tune in and join the conversation as we bridge science, strategy, and patient care in the world of DH.
