Great for sensitivity
I use this gel every night right before bed to lessen tooth sensitivity. It works better than any toothpaste or rinse I've tried for sensitive teeth.

I purchased this to focus on receding gums, moderate to severe tooth sensitivity along the gumline, and at least a few cavities I'm sure. I have no dental insurance and have been short on money so have not seen a dentist for a cleaning or exam in about 5 years.
I did some researching and this seemed to be the best non-prescription fluoride treatment available so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I have been rather disappointed in the product.
First off, it tastes bad - nothing like mint and I don't even know how to describe it except it has a bad chemical taste. It also seems to dry out my mouth and gums when I use it. I want to add that I brush my teeth 2 - 3 times a day and never miss even one night flossing before I go to bed. I use a fluoridated toothpaste, a fluoride mouthwash, and also use this as a supplement every night when going to bed and sometimes once during the day as well.
I haven't noticed any difference in tooth sensitivity when I have been using this product every day for weeks now. It doesn't seem any more effective than normal fluoride toothpaste. I will probably keep using it since it is supposed to be the best non-prescription treatment, but it really isn't anything that special. All I know is the stannous fluoride ingredient in this is the same one that is in a certain major brand's recent toothpaste line, but without the super harsh chemicals that make your tongue, mouth, and lips peel - which is super gross and embarrassing. Stannous fluoride is said to also cause yellowing of the teeth. I've noticed maybe a slight yellowing, but nothing major. When I had dental insurance I was prescribed 1.1% neutral sodium fluoride topical gel, which seemed to work better than this.

I have used this product for years because of my tooth sensitivity. It was prescribed by my dentist originally, but now it is available on Drugstore.com, and it's easier to purchase this way. I can really tell the difference if I don't use this for a day or two--my sensitivity comes back.

Comments about Colgate Gel-Kam, Dental Therapy Pak, Mint, 2 tubes:
I had cancer that involved radiation of the neck area and the salivary gland functions were totally messed up by it--the "drainage" that the salivary glands are supposed to do--rinsing your mouth--simply doesn't happen, so I am more prone to cavities and other related dental problems. The dentist took a mold of my teeth and I use a flexible "tray" with this product. I have used it for a year and it has helped significantly. I still had a few cavities filled recently, but I also have problems with stained teeth etc. so I have to use this regularly and brush 2-3 times a day. So for people with similar health problems, this product works well. Pharmacists MAY have it behind the counter, but it is not a high demand item so they may not have it in stock. This is a good quantity at a fair price.
Comments about Colgate Gel-Kam, Dental Therapy Pak, Mint, 2 tubes:
My dentist ordered me to use this product and we will see if it keeps my cavities down. I started using it daily and now I use it every other day. The bad thing about it is it alters my taste buds. But, if it does the job I won't complain.
Comments about Colgate Gel-Kam, Dental Therapy Pak, Mint, 2 tubes:
I've been looking for something that would replace fluoride gels you can get at your dentist... I am experiencing sensitivity due to bleaching, and oddly my orthodontist that gave me the bleaching gel did not have fluoride gel that they can give me.
So I got online and found this gel. This gel contains a higher concentration of fluoride than any toothepaste and really does help with teeth sensitivity. Would also recommend as insurance for cavity prone teeth too.
Adults and children 12 years of age and older: Use after regular brushing and flossing. Shake excess water from your toothbrush and cover bristles with gel. Brush thoroughly. Keep on your teeth for one minute and then spit out. Do not swallow. Do not rinse, eat or drink for 30 minutes. Use once a day for cavity prevention. Use twice a day (morning and evening) for sensitivity relief or as recommended by a dentist or physician. Make sure all sensitive areas are covered by using a toothbrush or a cotton swab. Supervise children as necessary until capable of using without supervision. Children under 12 years of age: consult a dentist or physician.
Store at controlled room temperature 20 - 25° C (68 - 77° F).
