The highlight of the launch was an interactive discussion on the growing issue of mouth sensitivity in Ghana.

Leading professionals shared their expectations of the performance of the new Pepsodent Sensitive Expert and entreated Unilever to ensure the product was widely available to benefit many Ghanaians.

The new Pepsodent Sensitive Expert was unveiled by Dr. Adadevoh, a pioneering and distinguished dentist and Dr. Puplampu, Vice President of the GDA, together with Nana-Yaa Kissi, Unilever Personal Care Director- Ghana/ Nigeria, and Eric Kumah, Oral brand manager.
