August 2017 : Time For FREE Dental Check Up Campaign By Sensodyne Malaysia And Malaysian Dental Association !


Dubbed the ‘Check-Up campaign, Sensodyne Malaysia is encouraging individuals who are unsure if they are suffering from tooth sensitivity to first visit the Sensodyne Malaysia Facebook page http://mysensodynecheckup.com/ and take the sensitivity test to determine their condition. Once they have the results, they will be able to access the list of participating dental clinics to schedule their free check-up.


If you have been avoiding that ais kacang in fear of feeling a sudden sharp pain to your tooth, you may be suffering from tooth sensitivity. For the month of August 2017, Malaysians can receive a free dental check-up to diagnose their tooth sensitivity so that they may enjoy the foods they love, thanks to Sensodyne Malaysia and the Malaysian Dental Association.


Tooth sensitivity or dentine hypersensitivity is a common problem; in fact, one in three people suffer from this condition[i]. Characterised by a sharp, sudden pain to your tooth, the symptoms of tooth sensitivity can be associated with a variety of external stimuli such as eating, drinking, tooth brushing and sometimes breathing[ii] (especially in colder climates), all of which can interrupt your favourite moments and have a significant impact on the sufferer’s quality of life.

A global survey by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) found that the pain sensation from tooth sensitivity took the pleasure out of eating and drinking in 70% of the people surveyed, while nearly 60% of people have to chew their food into smaller pieces to prevent triggering of pain[iii]. Meanwhile, about a quarter of the people surveyed claimed to hide the way they are eating because of the pain3.




“I have some patients who visit my clinic after years of putting off their dental check-ups, often hearing the excuses of them being too busy to schedule a visit, or having no reason to visit if they experience no problems with their teeth,” said Dr Ng Woan Tyng, President of the Malaysian Dental Association.


“Unfortunately, in the majority of cases when an individual is suffering a severe tooth problem, the damage could have been prevented if they had checked their teeth earlier. As such, I always encourage my patients to check their teeth at least once a year to ensure that their teeth remain healthy.


“Tooth sensitivity is a problem which is often brushed aside by patients. Experiencing a sudden sharp pain in your teeth whilst trying to enjoy food or drink is usually the first sign of tooth sensitivity, and constantly ignoring the pain will eventually result in lower quality of life. We are pleased to be supporting Sensodyne Malaysia to provide free check-ups for this common oral problem, and, in doing so, hope to heighten the public’s awareness of the importance of visiting their dentists.” she said.

Sensodyne Malaysia’s ‘Check-Up’ campaign aims to provide free dental check-ups to all Malaysians, with close to 400 participating dental clinics throughout the month of August 2017.

Thanks for the FREE Dental check up campaign from Sensodyne Malaysia that able to beneficial to the public. Mouse mommy also bring along family for a dental check up as in dental health also play an important role for our health being. 





Mouse mommy had give a call to Toothie Dental at Taman Equine, one of the participating dental clinic to make an appointment. After that, we are attending the dental appointment.

Dr Lee, Dentist of Toothie Dental was a kids-friendly doctor. He has checked MR's teeth and asked do you know how many teeths that you had? Ops! Even mouse mommy does not know. Dr Lee was patiently showed MR his teeth and count together with him and concluded MR was having 20 teeth all together. 




The doctor praise that MR was keeps its teeth clean and in good condition. Give MR thumbs up as in MR brush the teeth on his own. Mouse mommy was given MR double thumbs up as encouragement! 



After that, was mouse mommy and MH turned to check up our teeth. Baby MH was having some yellow stains at the front teeth and the dentist was advice to clean up daily by using wet cloth or handkerchief.  




While mouse mommy's teeth was in good condition, but there are some early signs of dental caries between one of the teeth and required scaling. After the dental check up, we got a sample of Sensodyne toothpaste.  



“Building from our recent ‘Pledge No to Sensitivity’ campaign in May this year where we asked tooth sensitivity sufferers to take a pledge and stand against tooth sensitivity, we are launching the ‘Check-Up’ campaign together with the Malaysian Dental Association to encourage Malaysians to visit their dentists and diagnose their condition appropriately,” said Dessi Lavery, Area Marketing Director, Oral Health & Nutrition, South East Asia of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Consumer Healthcare Malaysia. 

“With our range of Sensodyne oral healthcare products, we strive to provide Malaysians with the best possible solutions for their tooth sensitivity and oral care. For the whole month of August, we urge Malaysians to stop putting-off their visits to the dentist and head to the nearest participating dental clinic to receive their free check-up.” She added.


“We hope that by providing free dental check-ups, we will instil a sense of awareness within Malaysians on why it is crucial for us to visit our dentists to maintain their oral health, so that they may enjoy a life free from the pain of tooth sensitivity.” she concluded. 


Malaysians who are unsure of their condition can take a simple self-diagnostic sensitivity test on Sensodyne Malaysia’s and can also find the list of participating dental clinics to make their appointments.
