How Sensodyne helps sensitive teeth
Tooth sensitivity often causes a sharp twinge with hot, cold or sweet foods. Sensodyne toothpastes are formulated to help soothe and protect sensitive teeth when used twice daily as your regular toothpaste, with different products targeting repair, rapid relief, gum care or whitening. Consistent daily use gives the best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Sensodyne take to work?
Used twice daily as your regular toothpaste, many people notice a difference within a couple of weeks. Some "rapid relief" formats can act faster when applied to the sensitive area.
Which Sensodyne should I choose?
Choose by your priority: Repair & Protect for daily sensitivity defence, Rapid Relief for faster relief, Sensitivity & Gum for gum concerns, or a whitening variant.
When should I see a dentist?
See your dentist if sensitivity is severe, sudden, or focused on one tooth, as it can indicate a problem such as decay or a cracked tooth that needs treatment.
