Both groups were instructed to brush their teeth twice daily for one minute with their assigned toothpaste. After three months use of their assigned toothpastes, those subjects in the herbal toothpaste group showed a statistically significant decrease in the levels of tactile, air blast, and cold water sentivity, as compared to those in the placebo toothpaste group (p < 0.001).
