efficacy of control dental plaque of gingivitis
function of that product can inhibit dental plaque and/or reduce gingivitis such as redness, swelling and bleeding through chemical composition
2.3
efficacy on dentin hypersensitivity
function of that product has dentin hypersensitivity symptoms (i.e., abnormal short and sharp pain caused by chemical and physical stimuli such as cold, heat, acid and sweet probing)
