Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of potassium nitrate containing herbal mouthwash to potassium oxalate mouthwash in management of dentinal hypersensitivity. * Participants will be divided into two groups by computer generated randomization. The participants will be divided into two groups, Group 'A' and Group 'B' by Simple Random Allocation as both groups, each group will involve 20 participants with at least two sites showing dentinal hypersensitivity * The assessment of Dentinal Hypersensitivity will be done after scaling and/or root planing (if required) by subjecting affected sites with Air Blast Test (ABT), Cold Water Test (CWT) and Tactile Response assessment will be recorded using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). All sensitivity tests will be executed by a single examiner who will be blinded to the randomization and will record DH at baseline and at 4, 8 and 12 weeks

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with at least two DH sites with VAS score ≥4 * Participants with teeth showing cervical abrasion, erosion, gingival recession * Participants \>18 years in general good health * Participants self-reporting with history of dentinal hypersensitivity to various stimuli. * Participants with minimum 20 natural teeth Exclusion Criteria: * Teeth with severe caries, faulty restoration, prosthetic crown, chipping, fracture, symptoms of pulpal damage * Participants who has taken long term analgesic therapy within 30 days before the start of the study * Participants who have undergone any treatment for dentinal hypersensitivity in past 3 months * Participants with ongoing orthodontic therapy * Participants with history or presence kidney disorder, kidney stones, eating disorders, uncontrolled gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, excessive exposure to acids or any other systemic condition that predisposes to dentinal hypersensitivity * Severe Periodontal disease characterized by extensive tooth mobility and or extensive alveolar bone loss involving 10 or more teeth * Women who are pregnant or lactating
