Description
Sensodyne Toothpaste is expertly crafted to address the needs of those with sensitive teeth, providing relief and protection against dentinal hypersensitivity. Regular use, twice daily, ensures ongoing protection, allowing individuals to enjoy their favorite foods and drinks without discomfort.
Key Ingredients
- Potassium Nitrate: This ingredient works by soothing the nerves inside the teeth, effectively preventing pain signals triggered by sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or sour stimuli.
- Stannous Fluoride: Forms a protective shield over exposed dentin, blocking pain triggers, strengthening teeth, and offering protection against acid erosion and decay.
- Sodium Fluoride: Contributes to tooth strengthening and decay prevention.
- NovaMin (Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate): Available in select variants, it builds a reparative layer over sensitive areas, enhancing protection.
Inactive Ingredients
The formulation includes sorbitol, hydrated silica, glycerin, and various other components that contribute to gentle cleaning, flavor, and product stability. Most variants are free from SLS, triclosan, and are safe for enamel, complying with ADA, FDA, and ISO guidelines.

Sensodyne offers a range of variants, each tailored to specific oral care needs:
- Rapid Relief: Provides fast sensitivity relief.
- Repair & Protect: Utilizes NovaMin technology to repair vulnerable areas.

Directions for Use
For optimal results, brush twice daily but not more than three times. For variants offering rapid relief, a small amount can be applied directly to sensitive areas before brushing. It is advised not to swallow and to keep out of reach of children under 12 unless directed by a dental professional.
Precautions
Users should discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a dentist if symptoms persist. The toothpaste is not recommended for sensitivity caused by teeth grinding and should not be used for more than four weeks without professional advice.
Storage
Store Sensodyne Toothpaste in a cool, dry place and incorporate it into a daily oral care routine for best results. This product is ideal for those seeking relief from sensitivity, cavity protection, enamel strengthening, and, in select variants, whitening and gum health improvement.
