    Measuring the impact on patients' quality of life

    To understand the impact of dentine hypersensitivity on quality of life, the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ)8 has been developed.

    Both qualitative and quantitative development and validation in a general population have shown that the DHEQ exhibits good psychometric properties. Its use can further the understanding of subjective impacts of dentine hypersensitivity on quality of life.8

    The DHEQ explores how quality of life is affected by dentine hypersensitivity, such as its impact on patients’ daily activities or mood.8

  • How patients adapt to dentine hypersensitivity

    Across six clinical studies, the DHEQ has revealed greater quality of life improvements with specialist sensitivity toothpastes vs. fluoride-only toothpastes*8
