おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
知覚過敏について。
悩んでる人は騙されたと思ってシュミテクト使ってみて。かなり改善されます。歯みがき粉変えるだけでこんなに効果あるんだなーと感動した。
dreaded
意味 [[名]の前で]恐ろしい, おぞましい; (おどけて) 嫌な.
For most of us, summer is the season of vacations, warm weather, and time outdoors. However, for some folks, they face a dreaded season of increased teeth sensitivity. In fact, 11.5 percent of the population suffers from dentin hypersensitivity, according to research from the Journal of Dentistry, and this number may even be higher when undiagnosed cases are factored in. For some, the summer is the time of year that symptoms are most apparent.

「夏に症状が増える？なんで？」と一瞬考えたけど、そうか、冷たいものよく飲食する季節だもんな！炭酸も美味しいし！納得ー。（記事内にも原因として書かれてます）
gum
意味 [C][通例～s]歯茎
A big player in tooth sensitivity is gum recession, which happens when your gums have pulled away from your tooth, exposing your root surface, explains Whitney DiFoggio, BS, RDH, better known as Teeth Talk Girl. “When your root surface is exposed, the dentin tubules on your tooth (similar to the pores on your face) are open, so they feel extra sensations when touched by a typically cold stimulus.”

この意味の単語を、まるっとブランド名にしちゃうのすごいことだなw
tubular
意味 複数の管から成る [で作った].
Each of the tiny pore-like tubules house small nerve endings that run through the different layers of the tooth. When something stimulates them, it causes an uncomfortable sensation.

語尾が違うけど、まあこの意味だろうと。
erosion
意味 [U] （水流· 氷河などによる土地の） 浸食, 浸食作用; 腐食.
“Beyond gum recession, enamel erosion, orthodontics, large fillings, new crowns, and even teeth whitening, can also cause sensitivity,” adds the registered dental hygienist. Fortunately, it’s generally something that comes and goes, and rarely lingers or lasts a long time.

まさに「浸食」のイメージで歯が薄くなってくるからなぁ…でも無糖炭酸水でもしみてたのが、シュミテクトで気にならなくなってほんとすごい。
saliva
意味 [U]唾液, つば.
“In addition, dehydration is more likely to occur in the summer, which means less saliva, leading to higher chances of bacteria overgrowth,” says DiFoggio.

発音は「 /səláɪvə/ 」うわぁ…身近な言葉だけど初めて見かけた気がする。
concentration
意味 [化] [C][U] （物質の） 濃度; [U][時に a ～]（液体· 気体の） 濃縮, 凝縮
Beyond limiting cold food and drink consumption, DiFoggio encourages teeth whitening fans to cut it down and perhaps even ask their dental provider for a different concentration of whitening products if they’re feeling increased sensitivity. “Whether you have gum recession or not, be sure to scale back or stop using any type of whitening products, including whitening toothpaste, as it only makes your teeth more sensitive,” she warns.

お茶の黄ばみもあるので、次のシュミテクトはホワイトニング機能あるものを買う予定。歯科のホワイトニング施術って、歯の表面を痛めるイメージなので…無理無理。
clog
意味 〈管· フィルターなど〉を詰まらせる, 目詰まりさせる (up).
Saying no to that delicious gelato scoop on a hot summer’s day can be hard, so using sensitivity-relief toothpaste and products may help. “These toothpastes work by clogging the dentin tubules,” says DiFoggio.

詰まらせると聞いたら「えぇ…」と思うけど、繊細な歯の神経に届かないようコーティングするわけで、そら効果あるよな。
fluoride
意味 [U] [化] フッ化物 (虫歯予防用に飲料水· 歯みがきに添加される).
“Some dentists offer fluoride varnish treatments that can provide months of sensitivity relief, and they can also prescribe a prescription-strength toothpaste,” says DiFoggio.

こういう治療やってるとこに通いたいなあ。歯医者に知覚過敏相談してもあんまりいいアドバイスもらったことないからなぁ。
