·
Chill Festival aims to reach

Everyone knows that Sensodyne offers a range of oral care products
for sensitive teeth. The range includes toothpastes and toothbrushes.
With more than 55 years of committed research on relieving dentine
hypersensitivity, Sensodyne is a recognised expert in the industry of
desensitising toothpaste. Brushing twice daily with Sensodyne provides
protection from sensitive teeth and maintains dental hygiene. Sensodyne takes
care of oral needs with a wide range of oral care products, including

GlaxoSmithKline
Consumer Healthcare Sdn Bhd (“GSK”), a science-led global
healthcare company, today launched the Sensodyne ‘Tiada Ngilu, Hidup Ceria’ Chill Festival, an
expansion of the ‘Tiada Ngilu, Hidup Ceria’ campaign which was held last year.
The campaign will run for the entire month March 2015.
Yours truly was among the invited to check it out...
Tooth sensitivity a common
problem among Malaysians
The
awareness level on the condition of tooth sensitivity is considerably high in
Malaysia. The Oral Care Usage and Attitude study by Ipsos reveals that 87% of
Malaysians are aware of the conditions of sensitive teeth. One out of three
consumers also have claimed they have sensitive teeth, making tooth sensitivity
the No.1 oral health issue in Malaysia, yet only one third of sufferers use
toothpaste for sensitive teeth to relieve their condition.
Your's truly here is definitely one of them and I must say Sensodyne truly helped me soooooo very much with all that.
Hinders enjoyment of food, restrict lifestyle choices
It is timely that GSK is launching the Sensodyne ‘Tiada Ngilu, Hidup Ceria’ Chill Festival to address the alarming issue of tooth sensitivity and encourage consumers to take control of their condition as it not only hinders them from the enjoyment of food but can also be detrimental to their lifestyles.
Wallace Granja, Oral Health
Marketing Manager for GSK Consumer Healthcare Malaysia, said “Malaysians
loves food. In Malaysia, food and social gatherings go together as
naturally as cincau and ais kacang. Consumers should not sacrifice this
enjoyment due to tooth sensitivity. The Sensodyne ‘Tiada Ngilu, Hidup Ceria’
Chill Festival is a great platform to provide a 360 degree consumer experience
by interacting with consumers through on-ground, in store and digital activations.
With Sensodyne, consumers can enjoy their favourite food and drinks and be the
life of the party again. We want to change ‘Ouch!’ to ‘Tiada Ngilu’ for the 50%
of Malaysians who now avoid cold and sweet food and drinks.”
Changing ‘Ouch!’ to ‘Tiada
Ngilu’
According to the Ipsos Brand Health Tracker, the
study revealed that the ‘Tiada Ngilu, Hidup Ceria’ campaign reminded them of
things that they cared about which include spending time with family and
friends and enjoying food and drinks without tooth sensitivity.
The study
also revealed that:
·
50% of sensitivity sufferers purchased a sensitive toothpaste after being
exposed to the campaign
·
50% of Malaysians declared that the top trigger of tooth sensitivity
include cold and sweet food or drinks
A new way to engage with
Malaysians
This year,
the Sensodyne ‘Tiada Ngilu, Hidup Ceria’ Chill Festival takes the Malaysian passion
for chilled refreshments as the direct path to reach out to consumers and
encourage them to relieve their condition. Sensodyne will bring cheer by
visiting 53 outlets all over Malaysia to help more Malaysians with tooth
sensitivity enjoy food and social occasions.
Sensodyne is
collaborating with Chatime Malaysia, Teochew Chendul and The Potong to visit
selected retail outlets all over Malaysia to conduct product sampling,
on-ground activities and encourage consumers to participate in tooth
sensitivity checks. Sensodyne is also working with Chatime Malaysia, one of the
leading beverage companies in the country to introduce the ‘Unfreeze Coolest
Chatime Drink’ where consumers get to vote for their preferred beverage.
Participants are entitled to Chatime vouchers which enable them to enjoy
quality beverages at any time and any place.
Malaysians can take control of
their condition
Chef Andri Hadi, who was present at the launch
event, provided education on the triggers of tooth sensitivity through a
desserts preparation session. Finally, Sensodyne unveiled the Sensodyne Tooth
Sensitivity Check tool which can be accessed through www.sensodyne.com.my. It helps consumers to find out if they have sensitive teeth, in just
moments.
We got to try out Chef Andri Hadi's delicious dessert concoctions and they were just sinfully yummy... and surprisingly easy to make!!
Dr Nurul Huda Hassan, Dental Surgeon said “Sensitive teeth is not only unpleasant, but it can also interfere with your daily life. Enduring the discomfort or avoiding your favourite foods that are cold, sweet, hot and sour does not help you to break free from the zingy sensation in your teeth. It is the regular daily use of toothpaste for sensitive teeth that maintains the sensitivity protection and lets you enjoy social celebrations with family and friends”.
Tooth
sensitivity is a common dental problem many people experience. With the
increasing incidents of sensitive teeth sufferers in Malaysia, we see the
importance of expanding our ‘Tiada Ngilu, Hidup Ceria’ campaign. We want to
actively engage with more consumers to change their perception of sacrificing
the enjoyment of food due to the conditions of tooth sensitivity
Sensodyne,
the dentist recommended toothpaste for tooth sensitivity has a range of
products which provides different solutions for consumers.
The Sensodyne Base range which includes Fresh Mint, Gentle Whitening and Gum Care toothpastes are specially formulated to help protect against sensitivity. Sensodyne Repair and Protect with Novamin helps repair sensitive teeth.
Meanwhile, those who want instant relief from tooth sensitivity may use Sensodyne Rapid Relief that works in 60 seconds and which is formulated to create a physical seal against sensitivity triggers when used as directed. Using the right toothpaste for sensitive teeth can help consumers enjoy relief from tooth sensitivity, allowing them to continue to indulge in the foods and beverages that they enjoy most. Amazingly simple right? And soooo life saving!!
