Composition of Vantej toothpaste is mainly Novamin. Novamin is an acronym for ‘new mineral’ which is basically composed of calcium sodium phosphosilicate. It is mainly used for treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity or in layman’s terms sensitive teeth.
If you have sensitivity, use this.
If you don’t have sensitive teeth, you don’t need to use it.
Next Steps
Get an oral health check up done during your second trimester

Hello, usually sensitivity during pregnancy is because of frequent vomiting and acid reflexes,which takes away enamel from the teeth surfaces. Here are few tips for you
1. Keep sipping water frequently
2. Rinse your mouth thoroughly after every acid reflex and vomit
3. Do not brush immediately after vomit.
Coming to desensitizing toothpaste, e.g vantej use it only if u r feeling too much sensitivity ,and for not more than a month,twice daily and only after a consultation with a dentist,as there can be cavities in the teeth giving sensitivity which needs procedurally treatment rather than desensitizing toothpaste.
Wish you a good health and happy pregnancy.
