Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum Whitening Toothpaste

Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum Whitening Toothpaste is a daily toothpaste from Sensodyne, a brand known for its toothpastes for sensitive teeth. It belongs to the Sensitivity & Gum line, which the manufacturer designs for people who experience tooth sensitivity and also want to look after their gums, and which is formulated with stannous fluoride according to the manufacturer. The whitening version adds gentle cleaning to help remove surface stains for naturally whiter-looking teeth. It is used twice daily in place of your regular toothpaste.

Tooth sensitivity is often felt as a short, sharp twinge when eating or drinking something cold, hot, sweet or sour. Many people in Malaysia enjoy iced drinks, teh tarik and coffee every day, which can make sensitivity more noticeable and contribute to surface staining. Brushing consistently with a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth, using a soft toothbrush and a gentle technique, supports a good daily oral care routine. According to the manufacturer, the benefits build up with regular twice-daily brushing rather than after a single use.

This toothpaste suits adults with sensitive teeth who want to keep the gum line clean and reduce everyday surface stains. Brush carefully along the gum line, where plaque tends to collect, and spit rather than rinse so the toothpaste stays in contact with the teeth. Whitening toothpastes act on surface stains only and do not change the natural shade of teeth or the colour of crowns, veneers and fillings. Bleeding gums, persistent pain or sensitivity that does not improve should be checked by a dentist.

• Apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to a soft-bristled toothbrush.
• Brush all surfaces of the teeth and along the gum line gently for about two minutes.
• Spit out the excess toothpaste; avoid rinsing heavily with water straight away.
• Brush twice daily, morning and night, or as directed on the pack or by your dentist.

• Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place.
• Close the cap after each use.
• Keep away from direct sunlight.
